While traveling on the highway, people have to face the problem of poor network at many places. This causes problems in calling and internet access and many important tasks of the people get affected. In view of this, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has requested the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to increase network connectivity on the highway. NHAI has identified 424 such places spread over 1750 kilometers on the highways across the country, where there is problem in mobile network.

NHAI said this

NHAI said in its statement that it has sought help from DoT and NHAI by identifying areas lacking mobile network. All information including location has been provided to them and a demand has been made to order the telecom service providers to provide networks on national highways, especially on greenfield and remote sections. The Highway Authority has described this matter as being of strategic importance and public safety and has hoped for its resolution soon. NHAI says that national highways pass through rural and remote areas and lack of reliable coverage can delay emergency response and many other services are also affected.

Talks are also going on regarding safety alert

NHAI wants that as soon as people enter any accident prone area on the highway, a safety alert should be sent to their mobile through SMS or flash alert. He has also sought help from TRAI regarding this. NHAI said that people will get this message even before they reach that area, so that they can be careful while driving. The authority has also submitted the complete list of such locations to TRAI.
