J & K: RTI Reveals BSNL
Provided 17795 New Broadband Internet Connection After Aug-2019
Jammu, 03/Jan/2020: While
providing information in response to an RTI application of RTI activist Raman
Sharma, government owned telecom company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, BSNL has
stated that it has provided 17795 Broadband Internet Connections to the
subscribers in Jammu and Kashmir between period 01/Aug/2019 to 19/Dec/2019
(till RTI reply filed). The written RTI reply
has been forwarded by GM(Admn) & CPIO, BSNL, J & K Circle dated 28/12/2019.
Earlier Sharma had filed an online
RTI plea with the BSNL authorities seeking information about the number of days
in which a subscriber should get a broadband internet connection, the fees
charged and the total number of broadband connection provided by the BSNL in J
& K.
It is pertinent to mention here
that after abrogation of article 370 and 35-A, since 05/Aug/2019, the mobile internet services were suspended
in entire J & K state(now UT) that
have caused huge losses to the business community and also to the students of J
& K UT. Many traders and even government employees could not file their
Income Tax Returns on time due to internet blockade.
Applicant Raman further informed
that though the BSNL have provided him the information with regard to number of
broadband connections it provided post Aug-2019 but the information related to
number of days in which a connection should be provided is yet awaited.
