Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that the Centre is planning to lay optical fiber cable in all the border areas to mitigate connectivity problems being faced by both defence personnel and the civilian population.
The minister, who was speaking of the achievements of the four-year-old Narendra Modi government, responding to media questions said, “We will soon start work on extension of optical fibre cable in the border areas. The union cabinet had discussed the issue and sanctioned the additional fund only ten days before.”
Sitharaman during her recent visit to Kibithoo, the last border village in Anjaw district of Arunachal Pradesh, was told that the people of the area cannot access All India Radio due to poor frequency but only Chinese radio frequency and had poor mobile network.
