KISHTWAR, Mar 10: Bharti Airtel ‘Airtel’, one of India’s leading telecommunication service providers, today announced the expansion of its network footprint to remote area of Marwah linking Kishtwar and Anantnag.
With this milestone, Airtel has become the first and only service provider to deliver reliable mobile connectivity to this strategically significant and difficult-to-reach region.
Marwah, characterized by its rugged terrain and limited seasonal road access to Kishtwar and Anantnag, remains disconnected during winters due to heavy snowfall and this isolation forces the residents to rely on mules or foot travel for essential supplies, work or emergencies, while the absence of telecom coverage left approximately 150-km corridor disconnected.
Airtel’s high-speed network rollout in this area marks a transformative step, empowering residents, security forces and tourists with seamless connectivity in one of the India’s most challenging terrains.
“We are proud to bridge the digital divide in Marwah, bringing high-speed mobile connectivity to a region long isolated by nature’s toughest barriers,” said Dibyendu Aich, COO – J&K, Bharti Airtel.
Airtel’s ongoing expansion in such challenging environments reflects its dedication to bridging the connectivity gap and powering India’s digital transformation.
