The Kalimpong unit of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited today conducted a day-long ‘Telephone Adalat’ in town. The main aim of the event was to hear people’s grievances regarding their telephone connections and the payment of outstanding bills.
More than 200 landline BSNL customers placed their grievances and paid due bills during the ‘Telephone Adalat’. BSNL departmental director A Dakuwa, IFASC bank account officer Amit Kumar Bose and others conducted the event and interacted with the people.
The telephone department's complacency and the recent statehood movement were among the main reasons for the piling up of unpaid telephone bills in town. It may be mentioned here that during the renewed agitation for Gorkhaland last year, the people had been directed to refrain from paying their telephone bills as part of the non-cooperation movement. Considering the circumstances, the BSNL also provided customers with certain discounts to their outstanding bills.
The Kalimpong Farmer’s Welfare Organisation also met telephone exchange officials and submitted a deputation. They have demanded upgrading of their towers and services to ensure better internet connection in the rural areas under Kalimpong sub-division.
Organisation secretary Vishnu Chettri said farmers use internet services in rural areas to access better farming methods and other related issues. However, due to slow and unpredictable connections, they cannot take take advantage of the services. He urged BSNL executives present at the ‘Telephone Adalat’ to look into the matter as soon as possible
