This rapid rollout positions India among the fastest countries in the world to adopt 5G technology.
Enhanced Connectivity in Chardhams: A Boost for Pilgrims and Disaster Management
The Chardhams – Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri – are now equipped with 5G mobile coverage, ensuring seamless connectivity for pilgrims visiting these sacred sites. Moreover, fiber connectivity has been dedicated to Chardham, enabling high-speed internet access and supporting disaster management and real-time surveillance in mountainous regions. The development will also improve voice and video call quality for pilgrims and locals, even with high footfall.
