| Improve mobile connectivity or face action: Official to telecom service providers | | | Early Times Report
POONCH, May 26: Authorities in Poonch district has warned telecom service providers to improve mobile network connectivity in the district to avoid inconvenience to the local subscribers, officials said today.
Deputy Commissioner, Poonch, Mohammad Aijaz Asad has set a deadline of one month to various companies for improving the network and said in case of non-compliance, stringent action would be initiated against the network provider, they said.
Asad was speaking at a meeting convened yesterday to examine the action taken post initiation of criminal proceedings against the service providers.
On April 4, the Deputy Commissioner had initiated the criminal proceedings against various telecom operators for poor services in the district.
Asad stressed on the need for developing dependable communication network in the border district for reducing reaction time of the administration in reaching out to the people in case of any eventuality.
Given the frequent ceasefire violations along the Line of Control, the intermittent and unsteady network availability, coupled with poor voice quality and coverage impedes relief and rescue operations thereby hampering administrative reach out to the public, he said.
Representatives of various telecommunication companies operating in the district attended the meeting to discuss the plan for improvement in the network, the officials said.
The officials said the service providers briefed the meeting about the steps taken by them to improve the network connectivity with BSNL representative informing the chair that major reason for poor network is due to non-completion of the maintenance process of the optical fibre cable (OFC).
He assured that within one month there would be visible improvement in the network as maintenance work is in progress, the officials said. |
