Union Minister of State for Communications (Independent), Manoj Sinha assured the Arunachal Pradesh Govt of his full support for a robust telecom connectivity in state informing that the central government has set the target of connecting over 2.5 lakh gram panchayats under the Bharat Netproject with the aim to provide 2-20 Mbps bandwidth to individual houses. The assurance came when Chief Minister Pema Khandu called on the Union Minister here on Friday.
Informing on steps being taken for improving mobile connectivity in Arunachal, the Union Minister said that BSNL will roll out 1893 mobile towers to provide 2G internet service and seamless mobile coverage across the state.
Earlier, Pema informed the Union Minister that the state government is emphasising on e-Governance and m-Governance, while apprising on the need for a robust backbone of Optical Fibre Connectivity (OFC) augmented with Microwave towers and VSATs. He said the urgency of having a good OFC network was necessitated for the GST to be implemented in the state. The existing IT network is not fully reliable, Pema said.
The Chief Minister further informed that 114 locations have been identified on priority with BSNL’s Broadband, Internet Leased Line or VSAT for successful implementation of GST. However, 61 locations have neither BB nor ILL exchange nearby the towns and the remaining locations will also need augmentation, he added.
Further, the Chief Minister requested for adequate manpower for RailTel, which is required in at least two per district, to monitor project work in every district.
