Now, such tales of woe will not be heard in the areas that are brought under the communication network,” said Mr. Nishant. With the communication network in place, it would be easy for the government staff on the field to report incidents such as road blockade because of felling of trees. The Jio group has come forward to provide the communication network though it is not viable commercially due to low population density,” said Mr. Nishant. “Nearly 20,000 people who travel by the highway between Bhadrachalam and Rajamahendravaram daily directly benefit from the mobile network,” he said. The ITDA authorities hope the students in the Agency areas would use the mobile network for their academic needs.
