By flagging off its services in Assam (Guwahati), Bharti has announced the completion of its nationwide network spanning 23 circles, which also makes it the private company with the largest telecom network at the moment. By the end of the current fiscal year, Bharti would have connected most of the strife-ridden northeastern states on its cellular network. With an investment of Rs 1.3 billion, its services would be available in most of the towns in the region, including Shillong, Jorhat, Tezpur, Naogaon, Tinsukia and Dibrugarh (in the Assam circle) by May. Subsequently, Agartala, Itanagar, Dimapur and Imphal will be covered.
