The Jammu and Kashmir administration has directed telecom operators to accelerate the deployment of 5G services in line with recently issued central government regulations.
The state government of Jammu and Kashmir issued an order today instructing telecom service providers to expedite the rollout of 5G networks across the region. The directive aligns with fresh guidelines released by the central government aimed at streamlining spectrum allocation and infrastructure sharing.
According to the order, operators are required to ensure that the deployment proceeds without unnecessary delays and that coverage reaches both urban and remote areas. The state’s telecom department emphasized that a smooth rollout will enhance digital connectivity for residents and support upcoming smart‑city initiatives.
The central rules, announced earlier this month, seek to create a uniform framework for 5G expansion nationwide, reducing procedural bottlenecks and encouraging investment in high‑speed broadband infrastructure. Jammu and Kashmir’s compliance signals its intent to keep pace with the national digital agenda.
