The Goa government on Wednesday announced the setting up of a task force
for increasing efficiency in the telecommunication sector, including
dealing with network and Internet connectivity issues which have been
plaguing the state, especially industry and businesses in Goa.
According
to a government spokesperson, the task force was set up by Chief
Minister Pramod Sawant as part of a set of recommendations made by the
Economic Revival Committee instituted by the BJP-led coalition
government in the state, to suggest ways and means to jump-start
industry, in view of the economic slowdown caused by the Covid-19
pandemic.
"Issues such as need for single-window clearance and
single-point of contact, preparing a roadmap for better communication,
challenges of optical fibre cables were discussed during the meeting.
Sawant informed that a task force for telecommunication would be
started, which will have representatives from concerned departments of
Information and Technology," the spokesperson said on Wednesday.
"The
need for Internet connectivity has gained prominence ever since
Covid-19, where the need to work from home and e-learning has made last
mile Internet connectivity crucial," the spokesperson said, adding that
the Chief Minister was also considering allowing telecom companies to
set-up mobile towers on government property due to hardships faced by
operators in setting up towers in residential and other areas.
