The government resumed the mobile phone services that were snapped since Saturday afternoon in Kathmandu from Tuesday morning.
The government had disconnected both post-paid and pre-paid mobile services of Nepal Telecom (NT) and Spice Nepal Private Limited from Saturday afternoon to thwart the pro-democracy movement of the country.
The mobile phones went down as tens of thousands of people took to the Kathmandu streets on Saturday defying curfew orders and denouncing Friday's royal proclamation.
Telecom employees had also been carrying out protests demanding immediate resumption of services.
This is the fourth time the government had snapped the mobile phone services after the February 1, 2005, royal takeover. NT officials said that net loss of Nepal’s giant telecommunication service provider has grown to Rs. 2.5 billion due to frequent disruption of services.
The NT has distributed around 500,000 mobile phone lines across the country-- nearly half of the mobile lines have been distributed to in the Kathmandu Valley.
