Nepal Telecom has extended its 4G mobile and internet services to the Badimalika area of Bajura, a major religious and tourism destination in the district, bringing telecommunications access to the high-altitude area from Monday. The expansion is expected to benefit local residents, pilgrims, tourists and government and non-government organizations operating in the area, which previously lacked reliable communication services. Information and Communications Minister Dr Bikram Timilsina inaugurated the service virtually, saying the government is committed to ensuring that people living in geographically remote areas are not deprived of basic communication services.
