MUMBAI: Airtel mobile subscribers here continued to face disruption in their network connection on Saturday, a day after a fire gutted its telecom tower at Central Mumbai.
The private telecom company, however, said most of the services have been restored.
"Incoming calls and text messages have started since last night. The outgoing facilities will also be restored soon," an Airtel spokesperson said here.
The fire at Penninsula Chambers was caused by a short circuit in the basement of the building owned by Tata Power Corporation, disrupting mobile services on Friday.
Although the blaze was extinguished within a few hours, services were yet to be restored completely.
