KALAT: The citizens of Kalat district have called upon the authorities to ensure immediate restoration of internet facility in the area and take immediate notice of the current situation.



For the past five years, mobile internet and 3G services remain suspended in Kalat’s Khaliqabad Mangchar area due to which people from all factions of the city, including students and office-goers, face immense difficulties.



On the other side, the wi-fi services, which have been used as alternate for mobile internet in Kalat, are stuck with several glitches, therefore access to the World Wide Web remains unavailable for the citizens.



The wi-fi signals are disrupted due to years of wear-and-tear in the transmission lines. Consequently, only a few areas of Kalat have uninterrupted access to the internet.



Meanwhile, the outskirts of the city go without wi-fi internet due to which people are immensely frustrated.
