People's representatives have demanded that an internet tower be installed in Upper Dolpa, located in the northern part of the Himalayan district of Dolpa.
Internet service has been disrupted in seven wards including Bijer and Saldang in She-Phoksundo Rural Municipality since last October. People's representatives have demanded that 10 to 15 Worldlink Internet repeater towers, routers and other equipment and installation technicians be installed in the helicopter going to Upper Dolpa for election purposes.
It is difficult to go to Upper Dolpa on foot and carry the necessary equipment due to snowfall. Vice President Pemma Wangchen Gurung said that since the helicopter is going to Upper Dolpa with employees and election materials for the upcoming House of Representatives elections, the demand for internet materials and technicians was made there.
'Currently, there is no internet service from wards 1 to 7 of the municipality. Even phones do not work in most places. The internet is disrupted due to the lack of a repeater tower between Komas and Simen,' he said.
The residents of Upper Dolpa have been facing a major problem due to the lack of phone and internet services for the past 5 months. 'The Election Commission, District Administration Office, Office of the Chief Electoral Officer and other bodies should have listened to our demands,' said Gurung.
The general public of geographically remote Upper Dolpa is suffering from problems in education, health, communication, electricity and road infrastructure.
