BSNL waives telecom charges for September in Jammu and Kashmir
In another move of respite to the flood ravaged regions of the valley, state run telecom operator BSNL announced that it will not be charging users for services incurred during the month of September owing to the floods.
The operator said that it will not be charging consumers in Jammu and Kashmir due to its inability to provide them with stipulated services during the month.The announcement came after a suggestion from State Governor N N Vohra to the state General Manager for Jammu and Kashmir Circle, R N Sudhakar.
According to PTI sources Sudhakar conceded the Governor's suggestion to provide some concession to consumers - many of whom are already laden with relief and rehabilitation work- and in turn informed the Governor of the difficulties faced by BSNL in the restoration of telecom equipment and infrastructure in the aftermath of the recent floods.The state governor also laid emphasis on the restoration of the equipment related to telecommunication for the state's quick recovery from the damage dealt. He also pointed towards the need for an alternative wireless source of communication for such crises in the state.
State General Manager Sudhakar apprised the Governor of the progress BSNL had made so far in restoration of transmission equipment, mobile network, wireless phone lines and internet connectivity from its Lal Chowk office. Viewing the immense devastation left behind by the floods other cellular operators like Reliance Communications and Idea Cellular also announced schemes to address user concerns. Reliance Communications announced that it would waive 50 per cent off voice bills in the flood affected Kashmir region and 100 per cent on data plans for September.
Idea Cellular on the other hand announced a complete waiver for fees for its services for the period that they were affected by the floods.
