B.V. Kulkarni, Assistant General Manager, Raichur Division of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), a Government of India undertaking, has appealed to the people to make use of attractive offers that the public sector company had recently announced on the occasion of 70th Independence Day. “In addition to the free night calling across India to all networks introduced a year ago, BSNL has now introduced free-calling round the clock on Sundays to all networks across India. The company has also introduced a promotional offer for new costumers in which they can use new landline service at a monthly fee of just Rs. Asked about the frequent outages in landline services, he said that the problem was due to frequent damages inflicted on cables by ongoing civil works such as construction of roads and drains. “When mobile communication has gained widespread popularity, BSNL is the only company that still continues to offer landline services for the benefit of people, with 10,000 landline customers in the division.
