BSNL has issued directives to all the ground staff, not to issue any SIM cards without proper verification. "We have designated officers who make it sure that no SIM is activated without proper verification so that SIM cards do not fall into wrong hands." Chief General Manager (CGM) Srinagar Circle R.K Kaul told news agency on Wednesday. Pertinently some BSNL officials had complained of being pressurized by some higher officials to activate the SIM cards without proper verification. However the Chief General Manager (CGM) BSNL rejecting the allegations said that these officers were not willing to work, hence making attempts to defame the department. "They are not willing to work and seek refuge under blame game", the officer said. He clarified that no SIM can work beyond 8 days after activation if it was not properly verified. "We have designated officers in the department to look after this field. If they are not satisfied with the verification of the documents, they must not keep that SIM card active after first 8 days." maintained the CGM. Meanwhile BSNL is expanding its network to other inaccessible areas in the coming months and for this purpose, the national telecom company is installing 75 new mobile towers across valley. "We have begun the survey work and the installation of towers will take place once we are done with the survey", informed Koul. He added that BSNL was also contemplating to provide mobile accessibility to the far flung and border areas like Keran, Machil and Gurez.
