Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is installing mobile towers at key places in Pithoragarh and Champawat districts of Uttarakhand to cover areas bordering China and Nepal under the Indian network and rid people of their dependence on Nepalese mobile network.
According to the company, the entire area near the India-Nepal and India-China borders in Darma, Vyas and Chaudas valleys will be covered by BSNL network before March 2025.
Out of 31 towers to be installed, 25 towers are being erected to connect the border outposts (BOPs) and the rest to cover the lower areas of the valleys. Meanwhile, seven out of the 25 towers have already been made operational and work is on for the remaining.
