It was supposed to be only VDC in Nepal where signal of mobile and wireless service is not available. Although Ncell and NTC have built low quality smaller towers on neighbouring Rangeli and Kanepokhari routes, no signal was felt on device on this VDC. Ranjani Chowk in Darbesha only received signal which was extremely low. But it does receive signal of Ncell with the internet capacity of 2G now. NTC signals cannot be received yet, however. Cable TV and electricity has reached there. Recent Survey estimates that if huge tower would be installed in Darbesha-1, it would be able to serve good quality of signal to smartphone and mobile users in whole Darbesha including neighbouring VDCs.
Population
