Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Friday said that it has commissioned a new base transceiver station (BTS) at Bankar, Sikkim. The development was shared by the operator on Twitter with BSNL highlighting that the new BTS site is located on the “highest altitude post of the Indian Army.” The battalion camp of the Indian army is said to be situated at a height of 16,400 feet and is said to be the “world’s highest.” The state-run operator has received a much needed focus from the Indian government in the recent weeks. The Indian government earlier in the week issued a mandate to the state-run firms along with the central and state departments to use BSNL and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) broadband and landline connections.
