Srinagar, Sept 10 (KNS): Broadband and services of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) have been out of order in Srinagar for several days now, causing inconvenience to local subscribers.
Students who are facing difficulties in accessing online classes are the worst hit.
A parent told KNS that they had opted of BSNL broadband services for online classes of the children due to 2g speed but form some days, BSNL broadband is down.
“Our children have online sessions and their online tests are ongoing but without broadband services, they are facing a lot of difficulties on mobile internet,” he said.
Several businessmen told KNS that mobile internet is not enough for conducting business at ease so they had availed BSNL broadband facility, " but I think it is wastage of time and money. The internet of private companies runs fine. Only BSNL has issue. I guess some officials are doing it delibrately in league with other private companies," a prominent businessman of Srinagar said.
He added that they complained to BSNL authorities several times but to no avail,” said another businesman.
Meanwhile various delegations while talking to KNS expressed strong resentment over defunct role of BSNL from couple of years. The members of the delegation alleged that BSNL has lost its credibility in public domain as “no accountability” among the officials has caused lawlessness in the department.
They appealed authorities to take note of this “non-seriousness” by the officials of BSNL and make them accountable before public. (KNS)
