Government-funded 4G tower of Airtel started services last week in Lumpo, one of the last villages in the district near the Line of Actual Control in Arunachal Pradesh, paving the way for access to new age digital economy for the locals. Reliance Jio, the bigger rival of Airtel, is already present till Dirang, 38 km from Bomdila-- a district between Tawang and the state capital Itanagar. It expects to connect Jang (98 km from Dirang) by mid-May and thereafter connect Tawang (40 km from Jang) by June-end. The telecom tower will open the local population to a host of services, officials said. With the improvement in road infrastructure, most of the people in Lumpo and nearby villages have vehicles but they need to travel hours for accessing banking, education, shopping, government services, etc in the absence of a data network.
