The highest mobile tower in Eastern Ladakh

The highest mobile tower in Eastern Ladakh at an altitude of 

16,000 feet has been operationalised on 26 June 2015 in a 


joint effort by public sector telecom services provider Bharat 

Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and the Indian Army.
 
The tower provides a vital communication link to one of the 

remotest locations of Eastern Ladakh at Chongtash. 
 
An official press release said the tower had been established

 with assistance from the Indian Army’s Trishul Signallers in


 terms of transportation, setting up and rearward connectivity.  
 
"The Indian Army, with this effort, continues to contribute 


towards development of communication infrastructure for 

benefit of the local population of Ladakh," it added.
