Biggest Diwali gift for Gurez would be mobile connectivity: Omar tells Modi

Srinagar: Omar Abdullah, the former Chief Minister of the state while thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for spending Diwali in Gurez said that the best gift he could give the people there was mobile connectivity.

Omar tweeted his thanks and told Modi that he must have realized that he couldn’t tweet from there as there is almost no mobile service in the area.

Modi arrived in the Gurez sector this morning to celebrate Diwali with forces posted in the forward area close to the Line of Control (LoC). Army Chief General Bipin Rawat was also accompanying the prime minister.

“Thank you for celebrating #Diwali with the people & troops in #Gurez. Please gift the people and troops a tunnel under Razdan pass @PMOIndia,” Omar wrote on his Twitter handle.

“Physical and mobile connectivity would be your biggest gifts to the area this Diwali jenab. #HappyDiwali @narendramodi Sahib,” he tweeted.

“You will have noticed that you can’t tweet from there sir. That’s because there is no data and almost no mobile service. Please do help with it,” he added.
