Vijayawada: In a letter to Union minister for Communication Ashwini Vaishnaw, Rajya Sabha MP GVL Narasimha Rao on Monday congratulated him and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the beginning of a new digital era with the launch of 5G services in 13 cities of the country.

Stating that the ultra-high-speed internet 5G technology will usher in a digital and economic revolution, GVL urged the Union Minister to include Visakhapatnam and tier two cities like Vijayawada, Rajahmundry, Kakinada and Tirupati from Andhra Pradesh in the next batch of cities to be considered for launch of 5G services.

In particular, the MP emphasised the need to bring the 5G services to Visakhapatnam on very high priority as it is a very fast growing city and is the veritable economic growth engine for Andhra Pradesh.

He added that Visakhapatnam is also very important from strategic and national security perspective as the city is home to the headquarters of Eastern Naval Command, has major Indian Coast Guard operations besides other strategic assets like Visakhapatnam Port, Hindustan Shipyard Limited.
