A remote village along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh has been connected to 4G mobile network services, an achievement made possible by the concerted efforts of the local administration and the Indian Army. The Airtel 4G network was inaugurated at Phobrang village by Chushul Councillor Konchok Stanzin and Brigadier S Rana of the 118 Brigade.

This significant development was a result of collaboration among the local administration, army personnel, villagers, and the councilor.
