Government funds utilized for rural mobile network expansion

Chandra Mohan Gauchan, a Member of the Provincial Assembly shared that the project utilized the budget from the MPs Development Fund to procure batteries and other equipment for the tower to establish the 3G network in the area. This also included laying a 3 km long fiber cable between the two spots.

Three lakh rupees from MP Gauchan’s constituency development program were utilized to set up a 3G tower. This will likely have a great and positive impact on the locals’ life for communications.
