The service began with Ntc erecting a 12-meters long tower on the top of a hill in Malkwang, Dhaulagiri Rural Municipality-5. Ntc began both 2G and 3G services together in the village.

“It was very difficult to communicate over a phone, to exchange information, or to inform relatives. Also, carrying out government work was also difficult. But with the beginning of telecom service, it has become easier,” said Thaman Thapa, a local resident.
