Poonch, December 13
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) claiming to provide quality-mobile service may be making endeavour to extend its base in rural areas across the state, but in this border township its services continue to trouble subscribers.
From Thursday, the mobile phone service remained disrupted in this district and BSNL managed to restore the services after two days. The BSNL mobile subscribers had to use the landline phone services to get connected to their near and dear ones within and outside the state.
“There is a huge difference between BSNL’s claims and their service here. BSNL's mobile phone services remained down for two days and there was no official to get the services restored. We have to suffer a lot due to disruption in the services as it became quite difficult for us to connect to our near and dear ones within and outside the state,” Shama Bali, a shopkeeper, said. “If BSNL doesn’t improve its mobile phone services, it will have to suffer the wrath of the subscribers here,” Bali added.
Though senior officials of BSNL declined to comment on the issue.
