The direction was given in a high-level meeting chaired by PM to review the progress of digital and rural infrastructure, besides connectivity. "He directed that steps be taken urgently to resolve the problem, and also to ensure that the problems in voice connectivity do not extend to data connectivity in future," an official statement from Prime Minister's Office said.

PM has asked the officials to explore every possibility of leveraging existing resources including railway and other communication infrastructure, to provide mobile connectivity in remote parts of the country. He also asked the officials to provide electricity to all unconnected villages in the country within 1,000 days, as he mentioned in his Independence Day address.
