The BSNL has been under stiff pressure from its subscribers particularly from the Kashmir Valley and peripheral districts of Jammu province including Rajouri, Poonch, Doda and Kathua for poor or no connectively at all.

He said, The installation and commissioning include acceptance testing of various equipment and their connected accessories.
