Poor telecom connectivity by private operators in rural, remote areas flagged at PAC meeting
New Delhi: Several MPs at a parliamentary meeting on Tuesday flagged the issue of poor telecom connectivity in rural and remote areas, especially by private operators, stating that public-run BSNL fares better in these regions despite lacking the advanced infrastructure of its private sector rivals, sources said.
Top officials from the Department of Telecommunications and service providers like Airtel, Jio and BSNL appeared before the Public Accounts Committee, headed by Congress MP K C Venugopal, as the panel grilled private operators.
