Technical snag hits BSNL mobile in Himachal

SHIMLA, INDIA: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) CellOne mobile services were hit in Himachal Pradesh Thursday due to a major technical snag, an official said here.

"Due to some major technical problem at the Sundernagar telephone exchange (in Mandi district), the mobile connectivity of CellOne across the state was badly affected throughout the day today (Thursday)," a senior BSNL officer said, on condition of anonymity as he is not authorised to speak to the media.

However, he said, by the evening almost 90 per cent of connectivity of the mobile users was restored.

There are an estimated 11.5 lakh BSNL subscribers in the state, but the official refused to reveal the exact number of subscribers affected by the snag.
