MP Kavya urges faster 4G, 5G expansion for Warangal villages
A politician from a place called Warangal asked the national government to make mobile internet better in small villages.
Her name is Dr Kadiyam Kavya, and she is the member of Parliament for Warangal.
She wants people who live in faraway villages to get 4G and 5G internet like people in cities.
Right now, some villages have no working phone signals, which are called blackspots.
A government minister answered her question in Parliament.
He said that Warangal has 218 villages.
Almost all of them have some mobile connection, and 216 have 4G internet.
But only 47 villages have the newest 5G internet.
Kavya wants the government to add more mobile towers and make 5G faster so everyone can use online services and find jobs.
Warangal MP Dr Kadiyam Kavya urged the Centre in the Lok Sabha to accelerate mobile and digital infrastructure expansion in rural, tribal and remote areas.
She sought details on connectivity progress over the past three years, including towers sanctioned and installed under Central government schemes.
Union Minister of State for Communications Dr Pemmasani Chandrasekhar said Warangal district has 218 villages as of June 2026, per Registrar General of India data.
Mobile connectivity covers 217 villages, 4G services cover 216 villages, while 5G services are available in only 47 villages.
Kavya called for faster 5G expansion alongside 4G coverage, new towers and blackspot elimination to support public services and economic opportunities.
