Port Blair, Jan 22: The Member of Parliament, A&N Islands, Shri Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested  the Chief General Manager, A&N Telecom Circle, Port Blair to install the required instruments at BSNL tower erected at Rajath Garh, Baratang. The tower was erected more than a year ago for providing mobile connectivity to uncovered villages around the Rajath Garh i.e. Khatta Khari, Jarawa Creek, Baludera, Beach Dera etc in Baratang. Due to delay the villagers are still deprived from getting connectivity for various services including online classes.

The MP also requested that the battery backup system to BSNL tower at Nilambur jetty in Baratang which is frequently out of order during load shedding, may also be rectified to avoid networking problems in Baratnag during power disruption.
