KATHMANDU: Nepal Telecom has installed a new network tower in Uperdanggadhi, the former district headquarters of Chitwan. Residents, who have faced years of difficulties with mobile and internet connectivity, have reported improved services following the installation.
The network service was established through the initiative of local residents and the efforts of a Nepal Telecom technical team. Rakesh Chaudhary, chief of Nepal Telecom in Bharatpur, stated that the tower was constructed to address weak network coverage in the area. He added that the region was prioritized due to its significance as a tourist destination.
Meanwhile, Nepal Telecom staffer Suresh Adhikari confirmed that another tower has already been installed in Chaukidanda, Bharatpur, and is expected to become operational soon. These developments are part of an effort to extend Nepal Telecom’s network coverage to remote hilly regions of the district.
