Imphal, October 07 2013 :
GMTD Manipur SSA J Lunkim has appealed to the people to make use of the services being offered by Bharat Sanchar Ningam Limited (BSNL) in the interest of the nation.
Speaking at the concluding function of the Consumer Workshop Programme organised from October October 1 in connection with the foundation day of BSNL Manipur at the conference hall of Telephone Bhavan here today, J Lunkim admitted that even though introduction of Pre-paid facilities of WLL has renewed the interest of the people in the services being provided by BSNL, it has not been able to attract the kind of interest that is expected due to lack of awareness on the services being provided by BSNL.
As a result, people are turning their attention to the many private companies which are coming up almost every day.
On the occasion, AD (MKTG) A Baleshore Sharma presented a power-point presentation on the services and coverage of BSNL as well as on other offers given for the benefit and knowledge of the consumers.
Participating in the programme, Secretary of Rural Women Society Y Shanti, who is also a member of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), suggested that similar awareness programmes should also be conducted in other parts of the State instead of just confining to Imphal alone.
Towards the end of the programme an interaction session with media was also conducted.
During the interaction, mediapersons put up various reasons for declining popularity of BSNL services among the telephone and mobile phone consumers in Manipur.
Some of the reasons put forward included network problem, limited coverage and towers and more importantly, failure of redressing the complaints of the consumers promptly.
