The Centre has asked the State Government to provide land to set up mobile towers in the Maoist affected areas. "The State Government is considering the request of the Centre," said State Home Secretary TK Mishra.
It has been found that the Maoists have started targeting the mobile towers to disrupt the entire communication system. They have already destroyed a number of towers in the Maoist affected areas as police failed to provide necessary security cover to the towers. The police have also admitted that it is practically impossible to provide security cover to the mobile towers.
In order to tackle the rising Maoists threat, the Centre has decided to set up towers in the premises of police stations. "If there is land available in the premises of police stations, we will certainly allow the companies to set up their mobile tower centres," said Mishra.
