Sochalyari village residents demand mobile connectivity

The residents of Sochalyari village in north Kashmir’s Handwara Sub District said that the area lacks mobile connectivity due to which they were subjected to severe hardships.

They said that at a time when people have access to 5g mobile internet across Kashmir, they were still without mobile connectivity. “We have to walk several kilometers to reach a specific place where our mobiles catch a signal following which we make a call at the time of emergency. Rest of the time our mobiles are mere playing gadgets,” said a local resident.

“The students of our area face most of the brunt due to lack of mobile connectivity. The students of different classes aren’t able to clear their doubts online, even those preparing for different SSB posts are also suffering due to lack of mobile internet,” he added.

The residents have appealed to authorities for redressal of their grievances so that the hardships being faced by them may end.
