4. Free internet connection and maintenance: There was an agreement between Nepal Telecommunication Authority and Nepal Telecom for broadband internet project made on Baishakh 21, 2074. Based on the agreement, the company provided free internet connection and maintenance for two years in 760 locations across Nuwakot, Rasuwa, Kavrepalanchowk, and Sindhupalchowk, that were massively affected by the earthquake. The Government of Nepal later made these places quarantine sites related to COVID-19. Afterward, the service was resumed in those places for two months from Chaitra 23, 2076. At the request of NTA, they decided to extend the service for another two months, starting with Jestha 30.

It is a relief to know NTC is providing various offers and services at different corners of the country. It shows the support and care of NTC towards their clients. NTC has always come forward whenever the people have faced complications, whether during the massive earthquake or COVID-19 pandemic.

As the nation slowly eases to normalcy, some of the earlier discounts halts, while other services continues to help people lift themselves from this challenging situation.
