Ukhrul, July 11 2013:
For the past five years, the BSNL tower at Kachai village of Ukhrul has remained non-functional despite repeated appeals from the public in the surrounding areas.
In a press statement issued today, Sagolmang Naga Student Association (SaNSA) president Reithingam appealed to the concerned authorities to immediately reactivate the BSNL tower for the benefit of general public in the areas.
He pointed out that the BSNL mobile tower, which could give coverage to about 70 villages, was installed in 2009 and activated for 15 days only early this year.
But till date, areas are without mobile connectivity and it has caused lots of hardship to the people.
Urging the concerned authorities to immediately look into the matter, the body warned it would be compelled to take drastic step if the problem being faced by the people is not redressed at the earliest.
