Fibre optic cable severed again, sabotage suspected

The country's fibre optic cable was severed again early Tuesday, 40-km from Chiringa in Cox's Bazar, said the Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board (BTTB). BTTB officials suspected that a business cartel was involved in the latest incident, which followed three separate disconnections at Sitakundu. The 437-km long cable runs from Cox's Bazar to Dhaka, and has been cut off 27 times since it was installed in May 2006.
