BSNL landline telephone services resume in Srinagar

SRINAGAR, Jan 1:
BSNL today restored landline telephone services in the heart of the city here, after these remained out of order for almost four months following devastating floods last year.
The communication services were hit in Kashmir Valley on September 7 when the floods hit the city and caused damage to infrastructure.
Landline, broadband and mobile services were affected due to the deluge that claimed over 280 lives.
Although mobile services and landlines in some parts of the city were restored within a fortnight, the city centre and the business hub of Lal Chowk continued to suffer even after that. (AGENCIES)
