Jajarkot : Jajarkot, the district in Karnali province, has been out of telecommunications services since the 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 to the communications world.
The Machhain-based tower is being used to relay information other towers based in five points including 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 yet attained.
As he said, additional human resources will be called in from Nepalgunj if the problem remained unsolved till Friday. The disruption of telecommunications facilities which have been indispensible part of the present human society has caused problems for the Jajarkot folks. No private telecom companies have reached the district yet and people have no alternative to depending on the NT network which encounters problems frequently.
