RASC News Agency: In many remote parts of Badakhshan province, telecommunication networks are still not functioning, and among them, the people of Tishkan district complain about the lack of access to telecommunication network services and road damage.
The residents of Tishkan district of Badakhshan province, who are deprived of telecommunication services, say that they have been facing serious problems for years due to the lack of telecommunication services.
The residents of this district add that they have to go to the high points of the mountains and hills to meet their communication needs, so that they can make a voice call.
They further say that in order to make a simple call, they have to walk for hours to reach the area covered by telecommunications networks.
The people of Tishkan district are among the most deprived people in Afghanistan who not only do not have access to the services of telecommunication networks; they are also deprived of other services such as paved roads and health centers.
Hedayat, a resident of Tishkan district, says: “In order to contact my loved ones, I have to climb the hill; it takes several hours to reach the area under the coverage of the telecommunication network, and the telecommunication networks do not work properly and the sound does not come properly.”
However, some other residents of Tishkan district say that they have to rent a car to reach the area under the coverage of telecommunication networks, which increases the cost of communication several times.
Besides this, difficult roads are another problem of the residents of this part of the country, which has caused an increase in traffic incidents in this part.
Rahmatullah, another resident of this district, says: “The bridges over the river are broken and we have difficulty crossing them. The roads are very bad, floods have damaged the roads, and we don’t have bridges or check bridges.”
Meanwhile, the local officials of the Taliban group in Badakhshan province admit that the people of Tishkan district are deprived of public services, including telecommunication services.
