Reliance Jio's services restored after being hit for the second time in two days

A day after users reported issues with telecom operator Jio, the services were affected once again on Thursday afternoon.

The services were restored by 4:45 pm, almost over three hours after the issues started, as users confirmed on Twitter and Downdetector too saw a decline in the number of reports.

According to Downdetector, services were hit in the cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Bengaluru from where about 63 per cent of users reported issues with accessing the internet on their phones.

It was on Wednesday when the telecom operator's services were affected for nearly four hours across India along with its broadband vertical Jio Fiber.

Close to 300 users reported issues on Downdetector on Thursday within five minutes of the services being hit.

Users took to Twitter to express their disappointment and bring issues to telecom operator's notice as #Jiodown trended for the second consecutive day.
