Internet fails in Chitral

 

CHITRAL,25 Aug 06: Internet service in Chitral has bogged down to an almost closure state since the last four days. Although many institutions, including banks, NGO offices etc rely heavily on this facility to transact their daily business but are helpless in the face of regular breakdown in this service due to recurrent faults in the microwave media. Net cafes have come to a halt and Tourists mostly foreigners have been seen cursing the place in frustration. The Minister of communication would do well to institute an inquiry into the frequent breakdown in the microwave media service, and make arrangements for providing a reliable internet service to Chitral.
