It is a matter of regret that Chittagong Hill Tracts still remains outside the purview of mobile networks. The 61 other districts of Bangladesh have been brought under the mobile networks. So as an inhabitant of CHT, my question to the authorities concerned is, how long the people of CHT will be deprived of this facility? Besides, many students, government employees etc are living outside the CHT for various reasons. To communicate with their families, they are compelled to depend on the T&T line that is also unavailable in some places.

Now I would like to request the government and the mobile companies to think over the matter seriously, and to try to bring CHT under the mobile networks without wasting any more time.
