Telecom Fiji Limited has confirmed that the telecommunication services to the most parts of the Western and Northern divisions have been restored.

Public Relations Officer Irene Miller confirms that the TFL Ba and Nadi Exchanges were switched on earlier today, however the operation of these exchanges depends on the weather and may need to be switched off for safety reasons should flood waters rise again.

She also confirms that as at 11am, telecommunication services in the Northern division were restored after the tireless efforts of their technicians.

TFL also said businesses are advised that should power be unavailable, their switchboard systems will not be operational and they should switch to normal telephones to have access.
