The residents of Gantmulla Bala village, located in Baramulla district, have been grappling with prolonged network outages affecting Airtel subscribers for several weeks.
The recurring problem is further increased by adverse weather conditions of snow and rain, locals said.
The issue has significantly disrupted communication services in the area, causing inconvenience to the community, particularly students.
The absence of reliable network connectivity has forced villagers to travel outside the village to make phone calls, resulting in inconvenience.
This issue not only blocks daily communication but also poses challenges in case of emergencies.
“The constant communication issue is leaving the residents in a desperate condition. We appeal the Airtel authorities to resolve the issue and find a sustainable solution,” said a local resident.
