State-backed telco Nepal Telecom (NTC) has established internet and telephone services in Shailung Rural Municipality, Dolakha district. The communication services have made it the first telecom-friendly local government in the district.
Prior to this, the area had no reliable infrastructure for communication. NT installed 2 telephone towers in Bhaise and Nadantlarka and are already in operation. Now, over 100 landline phones and internet services are in operation in Baghkhor Bajar.

Even with fewer economic prospects, the company has remained firm and emphatic in extending its communication coverage. Recently in the current fiscal year FY 2081/82, the company announced its fiber internet availability in 77 districts.
