Hyderabad Cable Operators Protest, Internet Restoration Underway
Cable and internet providers in Hyderabad are protesting because the power company cut their cables.
This has left many people without internet and cable TV.
The operators say this hurts their business and livelihoods.
An association of internet providers is now working with the power company to fix the problem.
They are trying to get the internet back up and running as quickly as possible, especially for important places.
They also want the government to follow the rules so this doesn't happen again.
The cuts started after an accident involving fallen cables caused by power disconnections that led to multiple deaths.
Cable operators protested in Hyderabad against cable cuts by the discom.
The cable cuts affected roughly 10 lakh users, disrupting services.
Operators stated their livelihood depended on providing these services.
The All India Fixed Internet Service Providers Association (AIFISPA) is working with the authorities to restore internet.
AIFISPA is providing manpower to assist TSSPDCL to secure fibre cable routing.
