Addressing the meeting, the DC emphasized on the need to improve telecom connectivity in the locations with educational institution in the district. He stressed on the importance of effective coordination among all departments and service providers.
Further, the DC urged all excavating agencies and contractors to mandatorily use the CBuD application before undertaking any digging or excavation work in the district.

The CBuD application enables departments and agencies, especially excavating agencies and contractors to enquire and verify underlying telecom and utility assets before carrying out excavation works. This helps prevent damage to underground infrastructure and ensures better coordination among stakeholders.
