The Governor of Arunachal Pradesh has publicly urged Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to give priority to expanding connectivity across the state. In a statement delivered to the media, the governor highlighted the persistent digital divide that hampers economic development and access to essential services in remote districts.
BSNL, the state‑owned telecom operator, has faced criticism for slow rollout of broadband and 4G infrastructure in many parts of Arunachal. The governor emphasized that reliable internet and telephony are essential for e‑governance, education, and healthcare delivery.
The call comes as the government pushes for digital inclusion under national initiatives such as Digital India. By accelerating fiber‑optic and mobile network deployment, the state hopes to bridge gaps in rural connectivity and support the growth of local businesses.
While no immediate response from BSNL was reported, the governor’s remarks signal a renewed focus on telecom infrastructure as a catalyst for regional development.
