Gangtok, Nov. 2: Visitors
headed for Lachung in north Sikkim can now stay connected
to the outside world, thanks to the efforts of Bharat Sanchar
Nigam Limited, Sikkim circle.
Town residents, led by health minister and
area MLA Hissey Lachungpa, have been demanding telecommunication
links for over four years now. The telecom service began on
Saturday with Travel Agents’ Association of Sikkim president
Palzor Lachungpa calling tourism minister R.B. Subba on his
mobile. The technology, Cordless Digital Enhanced Telephone
Service, also provides for wireless Internet services.
