Kodagu: MP seeks quick installation of battery sets for mobile towers

Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, Mysuru–Kodagu MP, has emphasised the urgent need to strengthen telecommunication facilities in Kodagu district and requested Union Minister for Communications Jyotiraditya Scindia to fast-track the installation of battery sets for mobile towers.

During his meeting with the Minister in New Delhi on Friday, the MP also sought speedy processing of the proposal to allot 15 power plants for the region.

Recalling the recent heavy rains in Kodagu, Mr. Wadiyar said several poles had collapsed, severely disrupting communication networks and causing major inconvenience to the public. He added that he had earlier written to the Minister pushing for improvements to the district’s telecom infrastructure.

“Today, I met the Minister once again and requested him to expedite the process,” he said.

According to the MP, Mr. Scindia assured that the matter would be reviewed at the earliest and necessary action would be taken.
