Shivamogga MP asks BSNL officers to speed up works to enhance network connectivity

Shivamogga Member of Parliament B.Y. Raghavendra, on Wednesday, instructed the officers of BSNL in Shivamogga to speed up the construction of towers to enhance network connectivity coverage in rural areas of the district.

The MP, in a meeting with senior officials of the BSNL, discussed the measures necessary to upgrade the connectivity so that rural public get access to 4G network. Due to the patchy network, the public, particularly school children, were not getting access to online services. There had been delay in updating the data collected from the beneficiaries at the fair price shops, anganwadi centres and other public offices.

Considering the poor network connectivity, a proposal was submitted seeking 4G towers at 398 villages in Shivamogga Lok Sabha constituency. Among them, 232 towers had been sanctioned. Those people in the remaining villages continued to face network issues.
