SINGAPORE: Phone lines and internet connections were cut off in Bedok North on Wednesday afternoon.

A MediaCorp News hotline caller said the problems started at about 3pm.

SingTel said it could not confirm how many blocks of flats were affected but mentioned that the incident was caused by contractors doing road works in the area.

Workers had accidentally cut off underground telecommunications cables during excavation works.

Major restoration works took place soon after the incident.

SingTel assured the affected units that telecommunication lines will be restored late Wednesday night. - CNA/vm
