Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Jan 23: Asking telecommunication operators particularly the Government run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to wake-up and improve their services in Kashmir, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) senior leader and MLA, Amirakadal, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari has said the poor mobile and landline services is giving a tough time to the millions of subscribers in the Valley.
In this connection Bukhari also shot a communiqué to the Union Minister of Communications & Information Technology bringing into his notice the plight of subscribers who are directly and indirectly affected by the poor services offered by the telecommunication companies operating in Kashmir.
While referring to the decrepit landline telephonic services, broadband internet outage, poor GPRS, 2G and 3G services, Bukhari has said that the tall claims made by telecommunication companies about restoration of its services in short span of time after floods has proved to be a hoax.
Stressing on telecom authorities to streamline the mobile and internet connectivity, Bukhari said that temporary initiatives like intra-circle roaming arrangements between various mobile service operators in Kashmir should be continued for facilitating smooth mobile services to the subscribers.
