"We have been working relentlessly to ensure uninterrupted mobile and broadband services for all our Retail and Enterprise customers. Our network operating centres and data centres are totally operational to ensure smooth functioning of the network," Vittal said.

He recommended its customers to opt their digital medium to recharge or for any other payments.

"We highly recommend that you stay safe and use our digital medium to recharge. You can also help, do your bit, and recharge for those around you, who do not have access to a digital channel. You can recharge at www.airtel.in or through the Airtel Thanks app," he said.

He further said: "We have strengthened our IVR, which can now address 98 per cent of all your concerns. In case the IVR can't resolve it, we have enabled functionality that allows you to create a ticket on the IVR itself."
