BSNL installs 2,199 mobile towers in naxal-hit areas
Telecom operator BSNL has completed installation of 2,199 solar-powered telecom towers in naxal-hit areas across 10 states, BSNL Chairman Anupam Shrivastava said. Earlier, an official said the towers were installed inside paramilitary camps as naxals targeted such towers in the past. Reportedly, this is an attempt to strengthen the security mechanism to combat insurgency in naxal-affected areas.
