Jio expands 4G services in Ladakh region near Pangong lake

Reliance Jio has expanded the reach of its 4G services in Ladakh region to a village close to Pangong lake, an area which has been a friction point between India and China in recent years.

Officials said Reliance Jio launched its 4G voice and data services at Spangmik village near Pangong lake in Ladakh.

The telecom operator became the first network to provide 4G mobile connectivity in and around the Pangong area, a popular tourist destination, officials said.

Lok Sabha member from Ladakh Jamyang Tsering Namgyal inaugurated the Jio mobile tower at Spangmik village.

Namgyal asserted that with the launch of the mobile network in the area, the long pending demand of the locals has been fulfilled.
