He directed the DCs to contact these operators as soon as possible and complete the applications immediately. If any operator is unable to submit the documents and fee etc, then his or her application should be cancelled.
Kaushal, however, said no operator’s application should be cancelled with immediate effect to clear the pending applications. Efforts must be made to get his application completed by contacting him.
The chief secretary also sought the district wise status of pending telecom tower applications from all DCs and directed them to settle it at the earliest.
