Internet suspension takes a toll on online transactions

MUMBAI | LUCKNOW: Ajay Pandey, a Lucknow-based photographer who runs a micro ATM within the premises of his small studio in the city, is a distraught man. Almost six days of internet suspension in the state capital from December 19 has left a huge dent in his monthly commissions from falling financial transactions.

“It so happened that my broadband connection was also snapped during the same time due to some wiring issues but coupled with the unavailability of mobile internet during the time, the activity suffered and we also had to incur a huge loss,” Pandey told ET.
