PTI | September 10, 2010



Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL), will lay Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) through Bangladesh to connect the state capital with Akhaura, the nearest town in the neighbouring country, BSNL sources said.

BSNL Tripura General Manager Debkumar Chakraborty told reporters that the distance between Agartala and Akhaura was 12 km and the BSNL would lay optical fibre to connect the two towns.

"If Akhaura- Agartala connection is set up, the North-East will be connected with the tele communication network of the neighbouring country", Chakraborty told reporters.

Survey work was in progress for connecting Sabroom sub-divisional town in South Tripura with Chittagong town in Bangladesh through OFC which would cover a distance of 75 km, he said.

As soon as survey was over, the cost implication would be calculated and work for laying cable was expected to begin during the present financial year, he added.
