All inhabited villages in Northeast to be connected with 4G network by Dec 2023: Kiren Rijiju

All inhabited villages in the northeastern region and border areas must be connected with 4G network by December 2023, Union minister Kiren Rijiju said on Tuesday. After reviewing the 4G saturation project for providing 4G mobile service to all inhabited villages of the Northeast at a meeting here, Rijiju said as telecom revolution is happening, no remote area should remain unconnected and this is the motto of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“By December 2023, all inhabited villages of the Northeast and border areas must be connected by the 4G network,” he told PTI.

The Union Minister of Law and Justice said the purpose of the meeting was to ensure coordination among different stakeholders, bring all of them onboard and fill the gap if any.
