Remote area in Shimla finally gets internet connectivity, residents elated

A new era of internet connectivity started in the remote Dodra Kwar subdivision of Shimla district as a BSNL tower was installed at Chanshal. The area, which remains cut off from the rest of the state for almost four-five months between November and March due to snowfall, will finally have seamless internet facility.

Pradhan of Jiskun Lalita Chauhan says, “We were not able to access websites, Facebook and WhatsApp. But now we have been connected to the new age technology. Our children will be able to study online and explore the infinite possibilities available on the web.” The residents are glad that they could be in touch with friends and relatives even after heavy snowfall, she added.
