BSNL Telephone Mela at J P Nagar

In J P Nagar today, BSNL was conducting a Telephone Mela, with both new connections, mobile phones and internet connections being offered at a considerable discount.

Here’s the sign:

The place was abuzz with people, and the staff were extremely courteous and helpful.

Here are some of them, including Ms. Nagarathnamma (fittingly, speaking on the telephone), whom I have personally found very capable and helpful on several occasions:

What a difference from the days when one had to make huge deposits, and wait several years for a telephone connection! It is good to see Government agencies being so proactive.

I find that the BSNL internet connection (I have the 600 plan) is one of the most reliable, too.

Nice to be able to say something good about our government departments!

 The mela is on tomorrow, too, so if you wish to avail yourself of this opportunity, and live in J P Nagar, do visit them, opp. SLV Refreshments, J P Nagar III Phase.

We are witness to a moment in time when women are organising, fighting, and demanding their rights, questioning the very ideas of growth, progress and citizenship. In short, they are making their voices heard and making their labour visible. As part of our ongoing Satyagraha for the Sacred Economy, Gram Seva Sangh, Centre for Budget and Policy Studies along with few more organisations want to create a platform in the…
