Kallakurichi Collector Sravan Kumar Jatavath has warned against those who damage the equipment and disrupt the process of laying optical fibre cables for the Bharat Net project.
The Tamil Nadu Fibernet Corporation (TANFINET) has been implementing the project to provide high-speed internet access to all village panchayats. The project is underway in all 193 panchayats in Kallakurichi district.
Mr. Jatavath said that about 85% of the optic fibre cable network in the district passes through poles, while the rest were laid underground. The Village Panchayat Service Centres (VPSC) house all the equipment required to provide internet services in the villages.
