Chandigarh: DC cracks whip against poor mobile connectivity

Deputy commissioner Mandip Singh Brar has given a 15-day ultimatum to mobile service providers (MSPs) to take steps to improve the signal reception across Chandigarh.

In a recent meeting with MSPs and heads of different departments, the deputy commissioner (DC) enquired about the reasons behind poor mobile reception being encountered across the city in recent times.

“The MSPs contended that the work from home (WFH) culture has led to a dramatic change in the usage pattern of mobile transmission,” said Kuljit Paul Singh Mahi, additional deputy commissioner (ADC) and the nodal officer under Chandigarh Right of Way Policy for Telecom Infrastructure.
