Pune: Vodafone Idea customers face network issues due to flooding at key site

LAKHS OF Vodafone Idea customers in Pune and nearby areas were left fuming on Thursday morning as connectivity issues cropped up due to heavy rain. Services were restored later in the evening after the company deployed interim solutions and restored voice and data services. The disturbance in the network was caused by the flooding of a key site at Pune.

The city and its neighbouring areas have received heavy rain since Wednesday night. The rain caused waterlogging and flash floods across the city and the district, leading to several cars and properties being damaged.

Subscribers of Vodafone Idea woke up to realise that there was little or no connectivity on their mobile phones, which failed to be resolved as the day progressed. Many users took to social media to vent their disappointment about the outage.
