Srisailam Devotees Face Cash Crunch Due to Network Issues
The Srisailam temple, a very important religious place, is having problems with its internet and phone networks.
This makes it hard for people to use digital payments for things like temple tickets, food, and hotels.
Many places only accept cash, which is inconvenient for visitors.
The government needs to fix the network so that people can use digital payments easily.
Devotees at Srisailam temple face inconvenience due to poor network connectivity affecting digital payments.
Most services, including temple tickets, accommodation, and shopping, require cash payments.
The town's outdated communication infrastructure, introduced during Maoist activity, has not been upgraded.
Limited digital payment access points often fail due to weak signals, leaving tourists and business operators frustrated.
Locals and devotees urge the government to intervene and upgrade network coverage for seamless digital transactions.
