BSNL remains disconnected, says unaware of order to begin services
Chandigarh Even as connectivity between mobile phones of private service operators and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) landline phones remains adversely hit for the fourth consecutive day on Sunday, BSNL denies knowledge of an order passed by the TDSAT directing it to resume services.
Ranjan Mathews, Director General, Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), said the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) has already directed BSNL to resume the services.
“We are not in the knowledge of any such order passed by TDSAT. We have not got copy of the order till now. We will be in a position to take action only on Monday after we receive a copy of the order,” BSNL Punjab Circle General Manager Naresh Sharma said.
“BSNL has disconnected the connectivity with private service operators because they have defaulted in payment of carriage charges. We had issued them a prior notice and given one month to make the payment but they failed to do so. BSNL also wants to resume the services. We also do not want our clients to suffer,” he said.
But Mathews disagreed with the BSNL version. “It is incorrect to call the private service operators defaulters. The COAI has a copy of the order passed by the TDSAT, last Friday, which clearly reads that the BSNL has to resume the services soon,” he told Newsline.
