Shivamogga Lok Sabha member B.Y. Raghavendra has appealed to Union Minister for Communications and Electronics Ashwini Vaishnaw to improve the telecommunication facilities in Shivamogga and Udupi districts.
Mr. Raghavendra met the Minister in Delhi on Wednesday and submitted a memorandum on this issue.
The MP gave a list of 96 villages spread across his constituency, including parts of Udupi district, which do not enjoy the services of Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP). He said these villages were located in hilly terrain and, unless mobile connectivity were extended, there would remain remote.
