In wake of current unrest in Valley, Hundreds of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) subscribers are aghast over the suspended service of company in district kupwara from last few months. The Government of India owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has issued more than twenty thousand post paid connections to the subscribers in Kashmir following government ordered disruption in services by private cellular companies wherein many of broadband, post-paid and pre-paid subscribers of Kupwara District complained that their service was totally out –of-service from last few months and concerned authorities have failed to restore the service. Scores of Broadband and post-paid subscribers of Government of India owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) in Kupwara expressed strong resentment against what they termed “unjust” action by BSNL Company. “The suspended service by BSNL to its Internet subscribers has put their business on halt from last few months and they have literally shut their Business and other.
Each month I receive bills from my BSNL broadband number (01955-252255) amounting to Rs 650, but this month despite the fact that their services and internet remained barred, they have raised bill amounting to Rs 1439 which is unjustified as for last few months their services remained down and I have already paid the amount of Rs 2682 on last month 18-06-2016 and my balance was nill but from that time their service remained down ,” this month they have charged me Installing and security charges again, what can I say, I am totally confused ,I am going regularly to BSNL office kupwara but they do nothing said Raoof Hussain , a BSNL Broadband subscriber from kupwara town. Resented the “insensitive attitude “of the BSNL Company for even the gagged period. Subscribes said the company should withdraw the bills forthwith failing which “legal action will be initiated against them.”BSNL General Manager Muhammad Saleem Beigh told our special correspondent that we will restore all mobile phones and broadband connection as soon as possible and I will see what the issue is if it is genuine the subscriber has to paid this bill.
