BSNL asked to use latest solar back up technology in far-off places in Himachal

Shimla: Bringing tribal areas closer through virtual mode, the Himachal Pradesh High Court has directed the government owned BSNL to replace the outdated solar back up technology to redress the problem of inadequate bandwidth due to erratic electricity supply in far-flung areas of the state.

“We are informed by the official of the BSNL that even though they have solar back up but the same is based on outdated and obsolete technology using lead acid battery,” a division bench of Justices Tarlok Singh Chauhan and Chander Bhusan Barowalia said.
