Itanagar, Dec 8: Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar held a video conference with the Deputy Commissioners of Pakke Kesang, Shi Yomi and Kamle Districts to test the BBNL VSAT System which was recently installed there.
The video conference went by without any signal glitch. However, it is feared that certain weather conditions may hamper the signal quality of the VSAT signal.

More than 50% VSATS have been installed in various locations across the state including government schools and health facilities.
