PULWAMA, July 16: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) subscribers in scores of villages of district Pulwama have not been receiving mobile signals since the cellular service was launched in 2003, despite the villagers’ repeated complaints to the authorities.
“We are not able to use the mobile service due to no network coverage. And if luckily one is able to talk, the calls drop within a minute. At times, consumers are required to make four to five attempts to complete a call, and yet they are not able to complete their conversation,” said Mushtaq Ahmad, a resident of Ratnipora.
The residents of Ratnipora, Pahoo and other neighbouring villages lashed out at the BSNL authorities for not addressing their problems.
Deputy General Manager BSNL, Nazir Ahmad Joo told Excelsior it will take at least four months to provide proper connectivity to the subscribers.
“We have planned to cover the area under our services in the coming phase. Hopefully, in this season, we will provide proper service to the subscribers of these villages,” the DGM said.
