Srinagar: In Indian illwegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, residents of Nagranar village in Rajwar area of Kupwara district have complained of poor mobile connectivity, saying the problem has persisted for years.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, locals said they face severe difficulties in making calls due to weak network coverage in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can barely make a phone call from our village,\u201d a resident told the media. \u201cThe network remains weak most of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The residents said the situation becomes worse during emergencies. \u201cWe have to walk outside the village just to get a signal and make a call,\u201d another villager said.<\/p>\n

They demanded that a mobile tower be installed in the locality to improve voice and internet services.<\/p>\n

Students said poor internet connectivity has also badly affected their education. \u201cWe are unable to attend online classes because the internet hardly works,\u201d a student said.<\/p>\n

The villagers have urged Deputy Commissioner Kupwara, Shrikant Balasaheb, and other concerned officials to intervene and resolve the issue at the earliest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
