AGARTALA, Dec 26 (TIWN): Tripura’s Chief Minister Manik Sarkar where claims that the Tripura is developing faster than any other State, people across the State are hit with the poor internet service.

The nation where people surf on 4G as most of the work is dependent on internet service; the state lacks the minimum internet service to run the banking service, office work and other essential work.

Reportedly, the BSNL cable has been kept non-functional in the Garji area which falls on the Udaipur – Belonia road.

According to the sources, the cable line has been disconnected for the renovation work of the National Highway for the last two days. The area has been disconnected from the internet service leading to serious problem for the residence over there.

Besides, the banking services also disrupted due to the non-functional internet service and the day to day work of the residence has been paralysed.

Prolonged deplorable condition of the Internet connectivity provided by BSNL, hits the people of the state with acute disruption in the day to day work through internet service. 

It is to be mentioned here that this is not only for the first time or sometime that poor internet service hits the people; this situation comes up in the State most of the time.

The poor internet service irks the day to day work of the office, banks and other sectors.

With increasing number of consumers complaining about the lack of broadband speeds, the concern authority is mum.

Prolonging its worst service in most of the areas in the districts, the BSNL officials seems to remain clueless and higher authority in Agartala remains mute over the issue.

It has been decades that the BSNL is providing service in the State but till day no improvement has been witnessed yet rather it has turned worst, said a consumer.  

On the other hand, allegation has been raised that to connect Tripura with submarine cable bandwidth of Bangladesh has led to unnecessary delay in the opening of third international internet gateway at Agartala via Akhaura of Bangladesh.

Besides, it is to be mentioned here that the formal inauguration of the internet bandwidth is likely to be held in January 2016.

Once the internet bandwidth is inaugurated, Agartala, Tripura's capital city, would be the third international internet gateway in India after Mumbai and Chennai.

On the historic day of June 2015 India-Bangladesh surplus under-sea internet bandwidth (10 Gbps) sale agreement was signed during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s at  Dhaka in presence of Hon. Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina.
