Tigo extends coverage to Sripada

Tigo commissioned a new tower in Sripada on January 1, 2010, a timely venture coinciding with the pilgrimage season which begins in December and continues until April, usually following the sighting of the full moon in December right through to its sighting in May, during the Vesak festival.

Throughout this period, thousands of pilgrims and travellers converge to climb the legendary 7,295 ft. mountain of Sripada, a site which has been revered for over a thousand years.

CEO of Tigo Dumindra Ratnayaka stated that "Tigo's Maskeliya site acts as the base for its services at Sripada, and through its launch, it is expected that the surrounding areas will be developed, including the Nallathanniya town, Mousakelle and its environs". "We want to provide services to our customers by enhancing their requirements for mobile connectivity in this region, and are proud to contribute towards the development of the Sripada - Nallathanniya area", Ratnayaka added.

Religious observations for the launch of the Sripada site was conducted by Chief incumbent of Kalpawruksha Maha Viharaya, Sripada, Nanda Thera. It is significant to note that during Poya Days, an estimated hundred to two hundred thousand devotees and holidaymakers climb the sacred mountain.

Tigo, committed to broadening its horizons to meet an ever growing customer base, seeks to meet the expectations and serve the needs of customers by continuously expanding its network nationwide, delivering quality service through its pioneering efforts in the mobile industry.
