Special technicians and other people were hired from upper Dir and Ashiret to climb the snow-bound Lowari pass and mend the fault.
According to a survey, thousands of people in Chitral are desirous of getting DSL broadband connection if the PTCL install optical fiber in the valley. The number of internet users has been growing steadily in the valley but the problem in the service occurs mostly in winter.—GH Farooqui]]>
