Barmer, Mar 7 (ANI): The Department of Telecom has decided to permit mobile towers within 500 meters of international border.
The department has modified its norms according to which installation of towers within 10 km of the international border was not allowed.
The move is seen as an attempt to counter incoming signals from Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Minister of State for Communications and IT Sachin Pilot during his recent visit to the border areas in Rajasthan said that earlier there was not any mobile tower within 10 km of the international border.
"Now anyone can place the tower with permission within 500 m of the border," he said.
He further said that India would improve the signal strength in the border areas as it is important from the security point of view. (ANI)
