Arunachal Pradesh Governor, J.P. Rajkhowa has urged the Centre to improve telecommunication facilities in the state during his meeting with Union Telecommunication Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in New Delhi. He informed the Minister about the issue of erratic and unsatisfactory mobile and internet connectivity, and requested him to direct the BSNL and other service providers to develop their infrastructure to bring the connectivity standard in the state to the national level. The Governor shared his experience at Bumla Pass along the Indo-China border, when mobile connectivity was non-existent at remote places causing hardship to the public and the jawans along the international border. The Governor also met Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu and emphasised on expediting the work on strategic railway lines to Tawang in the West and Pasighat in the East.
