Tawang: Indian govt decides to install more mobile towers after clash with Chinese soldiers

Days after revealing that Chinese soldiers tried aggressive manoeuvres in Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang, the Indian government has decided to install more mobile towers in the area to improve connectivity.

BSNL and Bharti Airtel will set up 23 new mobile towers in Tawang. The district administration had reportedly asked for 43 new towers.

"The existing towers were not giving the desired services, causing problems not only for the defence forces but also the civilians living along the border," Tawang Deputy Commissioner KN Damo said.

Earlier, there was no mobile network in the border areas but the situation has changed now with residents enjoying internet service and mobile connectivity even at Bum-La and Y-Junction but more improvement is needed, he added.

The officer said that all preparations are in place for installing the new towers, but winter would pose a challenge, which might get the process delayed.

Though the hilltops of the district have been receiving snowfall, the headquarters town witnessed snowfall first time on 18 December 2022 with the mercury plummeting to (-)3 degrees Celsius.
