" As our area is located close to Line of Control, no private communication network except BSNL to some extent is allowed in our area and entire population is dependent on it for much needed communication with outer world," they said and added that from last thirteen to fourteen days both landline and mobile service of BSNL is lying completely snagged in entire area and lone mobile tower of limited is also in off-mode due to reasons better known to them.
Angry locals said that the entire area is cut off from outer world and one has to move up to Chatyari to make a call.
