Most parts of Bhagalpur cut from world, courtesy Telecom officials & Pvt operators

Don't get disturbed if you fail to get any response from your family members when you try to reach out them through the Government telecom service provider BSNL landline phone in most parts of the Silk City.

Telephones lines have fallen dead for the last 10 –15 days. Courtesy to the nexus between the BSNL officials and private telecom operators, who have recently started spreading their base in the district. "The department has been trying to rectify the problem and it will be done soon", says a BSNL officer when contacted by me.

When asked about the situation, PA to the TDM said "ask the Collector who is not taking any action against the private players, who deliberately cut the phone lines while laying their telephone lines."

Surprisingly, no BSNL official is ready say the exact date by which the restoration of telephone services can be expected.

Angered residents, who feel cut from their near and dear ones, blame directly the BSNL officials and Private operators for this problem. The city has been witnessing this problem after every ten or fifteen days making the residents believe that they must go for private services for uninterrupted telecom services.
