"I have to stay in this area for nine days. But there is a problem with mobile network connectivity in this area. People come to me with their problems. Their problems remain unresolved since I am unable to talk to any official due to a network issue," Yadav told ANI.
That's why I sit on a hammock and go at a height from where I am able to get mobile network connectivity. From there, I talk to officials concerned," he said.
