Reliance Jio has launched 5G services in Haridwar. With the rollout of the service, the telco became the first and only operator to launch 5G in the Uttarakhand city. Furthermore, Jio 5G services are now available in 226 cities across the country. Jio users in these cities will be invited to the Jio Welcome Offer, to experience Unlimited Data at up to 1Gbps+ speeds, at no additional cost.
The services have been launched from Har Ki Pauri, which means the feet of Lord Vishnu and is one of the most famous ghats on the banks of the river Ganges. It is a landmark of the holy city of Haridwar and is the second city in the state after the capital city Dehradun to get Jio True 5G services.

“It is a matter of great pleasure that the 5G services by the 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,” said Pushkar Singh Dhami, chief minister of Uttarakhand.
“The launch of 5G services by the Jio network ahead of the commencement of Char Dham 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,” he added.
