AGARTALA, July 24 (TIWN): In a bid to improve quality communication and connectivity along the borders with Bangladesh, India’s National telecom backbone and the largest tele-service provider Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has set up to install 65 new mobile towers.
According to plan, BSNL will erect as many as 450 towers in Northeastern region including Tripura to upgrade the service quality in the region.
This initiative is taken to install Base Tower Stations (BTS) along the borders with Bangladesh, Bhutan and Myanmar to improve mobile phone connectivity’s in the bordering parts of India.
Ministry of home affairs has recently lifted the earlier restriction to install BTS within 10 km radius of international border, apprehending misuse of the mobile signal by the inimical elements.
The BTS would be set up along the border outposts (BOP) of the Border Security Force (BSF) or security forces of other border guards. And if there is no such border outpost in any area the BTS will be installed along the TSR camp areas after prior consultation.
The BSNL has planned to install around 450 BTS along the borders. Mobile phone connectivity along the border areas would witness enormous change once this initiative is complete
