Broadband internet service to resume on trial basis: Palak

State Minister for Posts, Telecommunications and ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak on Tuesday (Jul 23) said broadband internet service will resume on trial basis by Tuesday night. He made the announcement at a press conference at Agargaon ICT Tower in the capital on Tuesday, local media reported.

Considering the urgency of banking sector, diplomatic zone, readymade garments industry, export and import and outsourcing sector, the internet service is going to be restored, he said.

He said new media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, X and WhatsApp are being used in spreading rumors while foreign media are also involved in spreading propaganda against the government. Paid agents are also involved with the spreading of rumors, he said and urged the countrymen to follow the mainstream media for getting correct information.

Earlier, the state minister visited three burnt data centers in the capital's Mohakhali area.

Talking to reporters, he said overhead optical fibers on the Dhaka-Chattogram highway burnt by miscreants have been reinstalled again while operational and transmission lines of data centers in Mohakhali have been restored.

Posts and Telecommunications Secretary Dr Mohammad Mushfiqur Rahman, ICT Secretary Shamsul Arefin, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) Chairman Engineer Mohiuddin Ahmed and Internet Service Providers' Association of Bangladesh (ISPAB) President Emdadul Haque were present.
