The Indian Army, in collaboration with Airtel, has achieved significant success in connecting remote areas of Ladakh with 4G technology. Under this project, 4G network has been installed in more than 20 inaccessible places in the Union Territory of Ladakh. The work was completed during the current work period, possible at an altitude of more than 13,000 feet and harsh weather conditions of -40 degrees Celsius. These include border villages and areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), where Indian soldiers are preparing to face another harsh winter.
Extensive planning and efforts were made to execute this project. Difficult geographical conditions, steep hills and limited access made this task challenging, but the Army and Airtel overcame these obstacles and achieved success.
The installation of 4G towers will not only revolutionize the communication of residents in the area, but will also reinforce strategic connectivity. It will also play an important role in emergency services and relief operations. Additionally, the project will help promote social and economic activities, strengthen educational opportunities and ensure better access to essential services.
Underlining the strategic importance of the project, a senior Indian Army officer said: “Ensuring robust communication channels in these high altitude areas is essential not only for military operations but also for the well-being of the local population. “The completion of this project is a symbol of our commitment to national security and regional development.”
This 4G network will provide new opportunities for local communities and foster the development of the region, thereby boosting education and employment opportunities.
