NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday inaugurates the submarine optical fibre cable (OFC) connecting Chennai and Andaman & Nicobar through video conferencing. The project is said to provide a big boost to the local economy.
The foundation stone for this project was laid by PM Modi on December 30, 2018 at Port Blair.
At an interaction with BJP workers from the region a day before the inauguration, Modi said the submarine optical fibre cable will ensure high speed broadband connectivity, fast mobile and landline telecom services.
He said 12 islands of the Andaman archipelago have been selected for high-impact projects with an emphasis on boosting trade of sea-based, organic and coconut-based products of the region.
