Chinari’s Internet Woes: Residents in Jhelum Valley District Demand Action Over Poor Service from PTCL, Jazz, and Others

HATTIAN BALA: Residents of the Jhelum Valley district in Azad Kashmir, particularly in Chinari and its surrounding areas, are facing severe issues with internet services provided by companies like PTCL and Jazz, despite subscribing to expensive packages.

Despite customers investing significant amounts, they are consistently encountering problems such as slow browsing speeds and difficulties in uploading and downloading content. Even though telecommunication towers are positioned in close proximity to Chinari, users are experiencing weak signals and unreliable internet connections.

Despite the substantial revenue generated from the Jhelum Valley, mobile network providers such as Jazz, Telenor, and Zong have failed to deliver adequate services.
