Leh, DD: The Secretary, Information Technology Department, UT of Ladakh, Shashanka Ala, chaired a comprehensive review meeting today at the UT Secretariat, Leh, to assess the ongoing progress of the Amended Bharat Net project across the Union Territory.
During the meeting, the Secretary examined the status of the physical survey works currently being undertaken by Sterlite Technologies, in consortium with Dilip Buildcon.
