Dhaka, March 29 -- Mobile network disruptions have intensified in several areas of the Chittagong Hill Tract (CHT) region, as criminal gangs continue to target mobile towers in acts of sabotage.

Over the past three months, nearly 50 towers have been shut after power supplies were cut and fibre-optic cables severed in attacks, primarily targeting infrastructure belonging to mobile operator Robi impacting communication in the region, according to a Robi statement.

The situation has escalated further with reports of security personnel being abducted from tower sites.

At least three security guards in Khagrachhari district have been kidnapped, while Robi employees have received anonymous threats, heightening concerns about safety.
