Bharat Sanchar Nigam limited's (BSNl) has released its fresh list of defaulters in its Jamshedpur secondary switching area (SSA), which includes East and West Singhbhum and Seraikela Kharsawan. The telecom company released list of 21 post-paid cell phone subscribers who have not cleared their outstanding dues for more than two years. The outstanding amount ranges between Rs 6,000 and Rs 18 ,000. General manager of BSNl's Jamshedpur B.N. Singh said that the first list of outstanding was around Rs 2 lakh and most defaulters are based in different localities of Jamshedpur. The second list of over Rs 3 lakh would be released soon.
BSNl has decided to take legal action by lodging certificate cases against the defaulters at the district court, if they failed to pay up. In order to collect long pending dues from its customers, BSNl had doled out several facilities for the defaulters in the circle. Officials of the department informed that this was an oppourtunity for the defaulters to clear their bills and restart the services. “We are working hard to provide best of facilities for our consumers. We are installing modern technology but it is also the duty of the customers to clear their bills on time,” said an official.
