Jajarkot deprived of telecommunications facilities for three days

Jajarkot, January 25

Jajarkot district in Karnali province has been out of telecommunications services for past three days with a lightning striking the Nepal Telecom’s repeater tower located at Machhain.

The lightning damaged the tower of GSM Namaste and Sky services three days ago, disconnecting the district from the communications world.

The Machhain-based tower is being used to relay information to other towers based in Ghetma, Ratankot and Garaila.

According to NT Jajarkot chief Lokendra Bhandari, though a team of technical human resources has been working to fix the problem for the past two days, no success is attained yet.

Bhandari informs that additional human resources will be called in from Nepalgunj if the problem remains unsolved till Friday.

No private telecom companies have reached the district yet and people have no alternative to depending on the NT network.
