SDE Poonch, Subash Chandra when contacted admitted that three BSNL Exchanges situated at Harni, Dubraj and Dharglaoon were not functioning. He said that the Nigam was running short of cable and other equipments which led to the non-functioning of the exchanges and its towers. The machinery worth lakhs was also gathering dust there, he added,
Meanwhile, prominent citizen of the area have appealed CGM BSNL, Jammu to take the notice of the issue and provide required equipment to make these three BSNL telephone exchanges functional in Mendhar.
