In a statement to the Jio Centre Manager, Kohima, Thungtikhumba S Chang, President and Takum Chang, General Secretary of the CSUTT stated that the shutdown was enforced due to the service provider’s failure to comply with demands for restoring and improving the network services in Tuensang.

The CSUTT informed that the JIO centre manager, Kohima had stated that, “we will ensure that Tuensang being among the biggest towns in Nagaland, is well connected and network is stabilised.”
“Mon-Tuensang fiber route is also under construction and on completion of these routes, Tuensang will experience a 10x network and digital experience and become the most stable network,” the CSUTT reported the company as stating.
It was also mentioned that the “fiber ring connectivity from Phek-Kiphire-Tuensang fiber route will be completed by August 31, 2020.”
