Mumbai: Reliance Jio today announced the launch of its True 5G  services in Haridwar from Har Ki Pauri, taking the total number of Jio True 5G cities to  226 across the country.  

Har Ki Pauri means the feet of Lord Vishnu and is one of the most famous ghats on the  banks of the river Ganges and a landmark of the holy city of Haridwar in the state of  Uttarakhand. Haridwar becomes the second city in the state after the Capital city  Dehradun to get Jio True 5G services. 

Jio True 5G is rolling out at a rapid pace and is the only 5G service to be present in  Haridwar empowering Jio users with transformational benefits of True 5G technology. 

In a message, the Honorable Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Shri Pushkar Singh  Dhami said, “It is a matter of great pleasure that the 5G services by Jio network, which  started from Dehradun city of Uttarakhand, has been extended and launched in Haridwar  today. With the beginning of this service, not only the people of Haridwar, but also the  pilgrims visiting the Holy city of Haridwar from the country and abroad, including the  pilgrims visiting for Char Dham yatra in the near future will benefit.  

The launch of 5G services by Jio network ahead of the commencement of Chardham  Yatra is commendable. I hope Jio’s 5G network will soon be available in all the main  towns of Uttarakhand. This will be a true representation of the state as a Digital  Devbhoomi in the upcoming G-20 Summit events scheduled in Rishikesh. 

On this occasion, I congratulate the people of Haridwar, and the representatives  associated with Jio Network in Uttarakhand.” 

Jio has a robust network coverage across the state, right from the state capital, Dehradun  to Mana, the last Indian village in Uttarakhand towards the Indo-Tibet border.
