SURKHET, Oct 1: Telephone services have been disrupted in several districts of Karnali Province for the past five days. Jajarkot, Rukum West, and Dolpa have been cut off from communication after service breakdowns.
In Rukum West, wards 4, 5, and 6 of Aathbiskot Municipality, along with wards 12 and 13 of Nalgad Municipality in Jajarkot, have been completely without communication services. Likewise, after a problem occurred at the tower in Ratankot of Barekot Rural Municipality-5, most areas of the Municipality have been deprived of telephone services.

A similar issue at the Gotamkot tower in Rukum West and the Nayakwada Tankot tower in Jajarkot has left locals unable to communicate with relatives just ahead of the Dashain festival, said Nalgad Municipality Mayor Dammar Rawat. He added that despite informing both the district and provincial offices, no solution has been provided yet.
Since Dolpa’s Mudkechula Rural Municipality area relied on relay services from the same tower, communication there has also been disrupted, according to Chairperson Datta Bahadur Shahi.
According to Prakash Upadhyaya, a technical officer at Nepal Telecom Jajarkot, repair work is underway. He informed that once the Gotamkot tower is fixed, maintenance work will proceed at Nayakwada.
