TEZU, Apr 10: A meeting of the District Level Telecom Monitoring Committee (DLTMC) was held at the Lohit district Deputy Commissioner’s office in Tezu under the chairmanship of Additional Deputy Commissioner of Wakro, A J Lungphi.
The meeting brought together the committee members along with representatives from various telecom service providers (TSPs) to deliberate on improving network coverage and ensuring better coordination in infrastructure development.
Addressing the meeting, Lungphi highlighted the importance of robust telecom infrastructure for efficient governance, seamless public service delivery, and implementation of key national programmes. He emphasized enhanced connectivity in remote and underserved areas of the district.
A key decision taken was the mandatory adoption of the ‘Call Before You Dig’ (CBuD) App by all utility departments and executing agencies to prevent damage to underground optical fibre networks and avoid service disruptions.
The committee also stressed the need to strengthen connectivity in Tezu, Sunpura and Wakro circles, noting its importance for major initiatives such as electoral roll revision, the upcoming national census, and expanding e-governance services.
Telecom service providers were directed to identify and eliminate “shadow zones” and improve signal quality to ensure reliable communication services, particularly in remote areas.
Earlier, District Information and Technology Officer Hage Nangku outlined the agenda, stressing the need for coordinated efforts to strengthen telecom infrastructure and improve service delivery across the district. (DIPRO)
