Replying to user queries on Twitter, Dialog Axiata has said that ‘internet access in Kandy District (3g/4g) has been restrained until further notice’ on the instructions of the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka.
Upon contacting the TRC on this regard, we were told that internet access in the district is not restricted completely but internet connections have slowed down as online content is being filtered on the instructions of the Defence ministry.
The TRC spokesperson added that this situation could prevail for several hours.
