RailTel Corporation of India has made special arrangements for providing Communication using Station Wi-Fi to stranded passengers of the two trains stuck last week on Lumding-Badarpur hill section in Assam because of heavy rains which led to total break-down of mobile services of all mobile operators in the affected area. The affected area falls under Lumding Railway division of Northeast Frontier Railway (N.F.R).
The Wi-Fi facility already available at Railway stations provided by RailTel Corporation (A Mini Ratna Central Government PSU of Ministry of Railways) proved very useful in providing this connectivity.
RailTel Corporation a ‘Mini Ratna (Category-I)’ PSU is one of the largest neutral telecom infrastructure providers in the country owning a Pan-India optic fiber network on exclusive Right of Way (ROW) along Railway track. The company provides broadband telecom and multimedia network across the country.
