Bharti Airtel to Connect Arunachal Pradesh

"I understand the need of digital connectivity in today's world, especially in an area where building roads is a time-taking task. When I visit the place next time, I will bring along digital connectivity", Khandu said before concluding his two-day tour to Anjaw. He also assured the people of the district that out of the 980 telecom towers sanctioned by the government, it will get its fair share.

Khandu said, "tender for installing 4G towers has been bagged by Airtel. The company will soon start work on the ground". Notably, the telco has won the tender to install all 980 telecom towers in the Northeast state.

He also informed about a scheme that will see border villages developed into "model villages" with all the required facilities. He added, "the scheme will be implemented on a larger scale in the coming years. As of now, we have selected only three villages for the scheme. You may be pleased to know that all three villages - Kaho, Musai, and Kibithoo - are in Anjaw district".

Along with this, the CM said, "road connectivity, along with digital connectivity, can change the very face of Anjaw and empower people, both economically and physically".

Notably, Bharti Airel holds a majority stake in Indus Towers, India's largest tower company. Therefore, with this project, the telco will undertake a major project towards ubiquitous connectivity.
