No mobile coverage in scores of G’pati villages

Now, 5G services have been introduced for consumers in Odisha but despite such advanced digital communications technology, mobile services are yet to be widespread in the Gajapati district. Especially, the interior and far-fetched parts of Gajapati district are out of the ambit of mobile coverage.

The people in these areas are facing a lot of inconveniences, particularly for calling an ambulance for emergency services and studies of students. The villagers have to climb hills in search of a mobile network, involving possibilities of them falling down or getting injured. Now the academic session has started and from anganwadi centres to schools and colleges, all institutions have opened with students busy in their study.
