Communication Breakdown Leaves Khanakul Residents in Distress Amid Flooding

Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, September 20, 2024, Hooghly :  The residents of Khanakul are facing a critical situation as heavy flooding has submerged the area, cutting off communication links. Since yesterday, the phone network has been entirely disrupted, leaving many expatriate Bengalis—who are working in other states—unable to connect with their families back home, heightening their anxiety for their loved ones.

With the region completely inundated, local news reporters are also struggling to send updates to their channels due to the lack of mobile network and internet service. The inability to communicate not only complicates personal situations but also hampers efforts to alert authorities in case of emergencies.

Residents are expressing their concerns about how they will inform local administration of any dangers, given the current breakdown in communication. The flooding has left many feeling isolated and vulnerable, as they rely on phone networks to reach out for help.

In response to this dire situation, the community is urgently calling for the swift restoration of mobile network services from the SIM card providers. The demand is clear: residents need reliable communication to ensure their safety and connect with their families during this challenging time.

As the situation evolves, the community remains hopeful that service providers will take immediate action to restore connectivity, allowing them to stay informed and seek assistance as needed.
