Phones dead

DERA BASSI, Oct 4: Both outgoing and incoming calls to the township were partially affected due to a puncture in the underground cable caused by the Public Works Department workers while repairing roads at Dera Bassi bus stand.

The worse affected parts are Adarsh Nagar and its surrounding areas where the 7-digit numbers are reportedly not functioning. Telecom officials when contacted said the fault will be plugged within this week.
