Not able to download npm dependency. getting 503 fetch failed error

[Rohit-chauda]

I'm opening this issue because:

I am not able to download npm dependencies. I am getting 503 fetch failed error

What's going wrong?

Whenever I try to install npm or suppose gulp through npm, dependency fetch getting failed all the time.

As I am not able to attach the log file, just copying and paste the whole file below
