Kashmir MPs raise poor BSNL service along Border areas
Return of power projects to JK in Parliament
New Delhi: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President and Member of Parliament from Srinagar Dr Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday raised the issue of poor BSNL connectivity in the border areas of Jammu and Kashmir State.
Speaking in the Parliament on Wednesday, Abdullah said the poor cellular, landline and internet connectivity had become a source of inconvenience for the subscribers.
He said the situation of BSNL connectivity in the border areas of the state had gone from bad to worst.
“The people living in the far-flung border areas of the state maintain that the company has failed to come up with the expectations of the subscribers. Day in and day out, the dismayed customers of BSNL complain of weak signal, call drops, poor connectivity in the areas,” he said.
Abdullah urged the concerned ministry to look into the issue and pay heed to the grievances of the people living along Border areas in the state.
Meanwhile party’ Member of Parliament from Anantnag, Hasnain Masoodi raised the query of increased power deficit in the state.
“For past few years the government has miserably failed to increase the power production in the state. Ever since BJP PDP took reigns of the power, they have failed to add to the capacity of the existing poll of energy in the state,” he said.
Masoodi urged the government of India to ensure power projects were returned to the state government.
“Unfortunately the government does not seem to be making any sincere efforts in this direction. The move will act as a big confidence building measure in the state,” he said.
