The floods in Assam have affected lakhs of people across several districts. Resultant power outages have led to disruption of voice and internet services in some parts. While a significant part of these has been restored, the situation in Cachar, Darrang, Dibrugarh, Dima Hasao, Hojai, Lakhimpur, and Udalguri, remains challenging. With most of the shops closed, customers are finding it difficult to undertake recharges.
Sukanta Das, Cluster Business Head – East, Vodafone Idea, said “We stand strong with our customers during this time of distress. The Vi teams on the ground are working ceaselessly with local authorities to help restore normalcy on a war footing. In the meanwhile, to enable customers to remain connected in this challenging time, Vi is offering up to 5GB data with 3 days validity, free of cost in the impacted districts.”
This offer is being extended to impacted Vi prepaid customers in the seven districts of Cachar, Darrang, Dibrugarh, Dima Hasao, Hojai, Lakhimpur, and Udalguri.
