NHAI Seeks Urgent Action to Improve Mobile Network Connectivity on National Highways
- NHAI (National Highways Authority of India) has flagged mobile network blackspots on National Highways as a public safety + strategic infrastructure issue, seeking intervention from DoT and TRAI to direct Telecom Service Providers (TSPs).
- Relevant for UPSC because it links infrastructure (GS-III), telecom regulation, road safety, and the Digital Highways programme — a convergence of physical and digital infrastructure.
