Ukhrul, December 12 2009:
Mobile customers of private service provider Airtel are facing lots of inconvenience due to complete blackout of service since past many months.
When this correspondent inquired with the private service provider authorities, it was informed that the black out was due to damage of vital installations at Lamlai area by an underground organization in connection with monetary demands.
Meanwhile, social organizations of the district including HKL and HYF urged upon the concerned to restore Airtel service in the interest of the denizens of Ukhrul.
The locality/Tang association of Ukhrul on behalf of the public also simultaneously appealed the concerned Airtel authority to take up the matter seriously and make it functional as earliest as possible as public fury may turn towards the private company.
It also appealed the concerned underground outfit to be pragmatic as the disturbance and inconvenience being created by the group had a direct impact to the general public.
