Villagers Tie Telecom Technician to Tower Over Prolonged Network Issues in Uttar Pradesh
In Fatehpur's Hardauli village, Uttar Pradesh, villagers tied a telecom technician to a mobile tower over nearly two years of poor network service. The technician, who was inspecting the power supply, reportedly suggested this action to prompt his company to address the issue. Police intervened after about two hours and began an investigation. Villagers expressed frustration over unreliable mobile and internet connectivity despite the tower's installation two years ago, which had raised hopes for improved service.
