Dependence of border villages on Nepalese mobile networks to end by December: Official

Pithoragarh: The dependence on Nepalese mobile networks by over 78 border villages in the district is likely to end by December this year, with BSNL and Jio working on a war footing to put up their own mobile towers in the area.

“The two companies have begun installing their mobile towers at 11 places already and extend the network to more places as the roads get cleared after monsoon,” Pithoragarh District Magistrate Reena Joshi told PTI on Wednesday.
