 BSNL To fix mobile towers in Uttarakhand in 3 days

NEW DELHI: State-run telecom firm BSNL today said it will restore within three days its mobile towers at places where most of the stranded people are located in flood-hit Uttarakhand.

"Our 270 BTS (mobile towers) were down till last evening across state. Out of these, we have restored 10 BTS at crucial locations where most of stranded people are located. In next three days most of the BTS will be up and running," BSNL chairman and managing director RK Upadhyay told PTI.

It is clear from this trend that till now all these private operators were charging 80 to 90% higher data rates as compared to BSNL for same data usage.
