Bharti Airtel has expanded its network footprint to Man and Merak, two of the remotest villages located on the Eastern Border of Ladakh, near Pangong Lake. With this deployment, the company has become the only service provider to bring reliable mobile connectivity to this strategically significant and difficult-to-reach region.
Located along the stretch between Man and Merak villages on the eastern border of Ladakh, this area has long struggled with zero connectivity and no telecom network availability, leaving a vast corridor of around 50 km without coverage. High-speed network rollout in these villages marks a transformative moment, enabling residents, security forces, and tourists to stay connected in one of India’s toughest terrains.
Bharti Airtel is a leading integrated telecommunications company with operations across Asia and Africa.
