Rukum, April 10: The telecommunications services have been severed in Rukum following Friday evening’s lighting strike on a repeater station at Ratamata of Rolpa.

The locals here have been deprived of the services for the past three days. The GSM, CDMA and online services have been disrupted following the lightning strike, Telecommunications Office, Rukum said.

The locals are unable to connect to each other following the disruption of all the services of the Nepal Telecom.

Musikot Municipality’s local resident, Gorakh Bahadur KC, said the villagers are forced to head to other destinations for even minor works as the telecommunications services have not resumed for the past three days.

The radio transmitter at the repeater station was destroyed in the lightning strike. A technical team from Nepalgunj has already been dispatched to repair the breakdown. Nepal Telecom Regional Directorate in Nepalgunj has stated that the resumption of services may take time due to snowfall in the alpine regions. RSS
