BSNL Optical lines suffered major snaps at two locations in Assam yesterday affecting telephone and internet services in Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura but the lines have been restored, officials said today.
The Guwahati-Kolkata line got snapped near Siliguri while the Shillong-Guwahati 10 GB line got snapped at a location ahead of Khanapara in Assam yesterday afternoon, BSNL transmission (NE 1) division engineer Santanu Ghosh said.
He said the Power Grid-owned Guwahati Kolkata line got snapped due to bad weather conditions while the BSNL line connecting Shillong and Guwahati got snapped due to an accident.
While the Guwahati-Kolkata line was finally restored by 9 pm last night, the Shillong Guwahati lines were restored only in the morning today, Ghosh said adding that both are functioning normally now.
