Panjsher’s Paryan district residents find access to internet

PARAKH (Pajhwok): Residents of Paryan district in central Panjsher province say they are happy with the provision of 3G internet service.

Abdul Hameed Noori, Panjsher information technology director, told Pajhwok that the residents of Paryan benefited from 3G internet service by AWCC firm.

Last week, the residents of Hisa-i-Awal district also benefited from internet service.

Noori said currently only Abshar district residents had no access to the internet, but the Information Technology department was striving to provide them internet service in solar year 1403.

Ramesh Anwari, a resident of Chamal Peryan village, expressed his satisfaction with access to the Inrternet and said: "Whenever we needed the Internet, we would travel to the provincial capital by paying 500 afghanis transport fare or climb mountains. Now our his problem has been solved."

Nadeem, a resident of Korpitab Paryan village, was also happy and said access to the Internet was their long-awaited wish.
