The District Magistrate also instructed representatives of private telecom operators, including Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, to examine the feasibility of establishing mobile towers in remote and network-deficient areas of the district, thereby expanding digital access to underserved populations.
During the session, Junior Telecom Officer Gaurav Tadagi informed the committee that under Phase Two of the BharatNet project, work orders have already been issued for 119 gram panchayats in the Kapkot region, marking a significant step toward comprehensive rural digital connectivity.
The meeting was attended by Chief Development Officer R C Tiwari, Additional District Magistrate N S Nabiyaal, and other concerned officials, underscoring a coordinated administrative effort aimed at strengthening communication infrastructure across the district’s most remote regions.
