Internet users deeply affected as NEA removes internet cables from utility poles

NEA removes the internet cables from utility poles owned by NEA on the premise that ISPs were avoiding paying the pole rental charge as per the updated fee. As Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) dispute with each other, many internet users across the country are suffering from internet cutout.

Due to this issue, mainly people from some parts of Chitwan, Manigram, Dharan, Dhangadi, Dhankuta, Taplejung, etc are facing internet problems. It is very difficult for common people especially the students who have to attend their online classes. This problem is affecting the day-to-day activities and also the regular studies. Internet users have shown concern as they are caught in the feud between NEA and ISPs.
