While some improvements were seen in providing mobile connections in earlier months, the August statistics show a complete down fall of the BSNL new connections.
While Idea gave 23.3 lakh connections in August 2011, Reliance provided 12.8 lakh, Airtel 11.5 lakhs and Vodafone 11.3 lakhs, BSNL has fared with a meagre 2.6 lakh connections only. The workers have been putting their maximum efforts for increasing the connections, then, how this down fall has come? We have pointed out earlier to the BSNL management that mobile lines are in acute short supply and this may affect the new connections. But management was telling that sufficient number of mobile lines are available.
This colourless performance of BSNL can only be due to shortage of Mobile lines. Will the management take immediate action to get the mobile lines?
