Rs.5,000 crore project for northeast's telecom infrastructure

India TV News  

Agartala: The central government has launched a Rs.5,000 crore ambitious project for the development of telecommunications in the northeastern states, union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said here on Saturday. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said development of India will remain incomplete if the northeast region continues to be underdeveloped." Prasad asked Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited chairman-cum-managing director Anupam Srivastava to conduct an audit following Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar's complaint that poor quality telecom equipment was being installed in the northeast. Manik Sarkar said that when Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited Tripura in 2011, he had approached her to provide a telecom link between northeast India and the rest of the world through her country, and Hasina readily agreed to the proposal.
