Hi @abhijiths1998,
Have you got the new shiny-mirrors app? If so, run it and configure your servers. In theory it should help.
Examples:
$ shiny-mirrors config help
shiny-mirrors-config 0.1.0
Settings manipulation and magic

-b, --branch Set a branch to filter with
-C, --continent Set a continent to filter with

-p, --protocol Set a list of protocols to filter with
-s, --setup Set all settings options
-h, --help Prints help information

If you don’t have shiny-mirrors refresh your mirrors and sync the databases using:
sudo pacman-mirrors --geoip && sudo pacman -Syyu

Can you browse to https://repo.manjaro.org in your browser?]
Edit:
And what happens when you ping it in the terminal:
ping -c repo.manjaro.org
P.S.: To provide copnsolee output, instead of images, screenshots, copy and paste the text wrapped in triple backticks (```) before and after the pasted text. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
That will just cause it to render properly. Like this:
Ex erat placerat id nisi
quisque interdum
euismod suspendisse portaest
accumsan arcu
tortor adipiscing sit
tempus adipiscing phasellus
tempus tortor maximus sit eu morbi sit.
Instead of like this:
Ex erat placerat id nisi quisque interdum euismod suspendisse portaest accumsan arcu tortor adipiscing sit tempus adipiscing phasellus tempus tortor maximus sit eu morbi sit.
Making it easier and better to read the terminal output.

Looks like there is an issue with that mirror, I can’t access some directories through my browser. Try:
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syyu
Or you could test with:
sudo pacman-mirrors -c United_Kingdom && sudo pacman -Syyu
as I know these are working.
I can ping
But the latency is very high…which might, no probably accounts for the error with pacman-mirrors.
Unless there are any other appliances that uses the internet connection that you can turn off in an attempt to speed up the connection, there doesn’t seem to be a lot, if anything, you an do…
Edit:
Just as comparison, here’s my result:
$ ping -c 4 repo.manjaro.org

this looks low but still decent for mirror syncing
, nothing serious is running on my wifi , just my phone
That makes me think it’s just the mirror. Try:
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack
Ok I think I found the issue , stable-staging branch is removed from most of the mirrors which is making the URLs unreachable , changed it to stable , now everything is ok.

Ah, I completely missed this in your screenshot! That branch no longer exists.

That’s because stable-staging has been dissolved. It does make sense, now, yes.
It was a very segue for users who are not brave enough to use testing apps . RIP stable-staging
I am going for testing now
