Kalimpong , 9 January .

BSNL has taken the decision to organize a telephone adalat in kalimpong to solve the different problem faced by its consumer. The Adalat is scheduled at 15 Jan informed Junior Accountant Officer Ambar Singh today in a press meet. He added that the problem of  Pending bills and other problem face by the consumer will be heard in that day. The consumer will get some discount in the earlier bills as decided on the day informed Singh for which the consumer who wants to settle their bills and other problem have to submit a written application to the BSNL kalimpong office till 11th Jan . The BSNL in order to recover the telephone bills amounting up to Rs 10 crores in the hills organized a Telephone Fare at its office in Kalimpong last year too. The consumer instead of paying their old dues started giving up the services due to which about 10 crore of bills has been pending in the hills and for which the BSNL is organizing such camp informed Singh
 
It may be mentioned here that during the time of GJM’s agitation in mid 2008 the public were directed not to pay telephone, electricity and many other governmental bills, because of which the public were relaxed the bill payments till July 2011. Soon after the GTA formation, the electricity bills started piling up after August 2011. Further, in December 2011, because of the vast telephone bills, the BSNL started disconnecting their services. In one hand the State Government relaxed the electricity bill payments, while in the other, telephone being the Centre’s subject nothing much could be done. Before the formation of GTA, the GJM had approached the then Union Home Minister, P Chidambaram and had appealed him to excuse the telephone bills. But nothing has been as of now.
