The drive to demolish unauthorised constructions in the
city, particularly along storm water canals, following the downpour on
April 21 and 22, has brought to the fore laxity on the part of
Corporation officials in allotting TC numbers. The drive conducted by
the district administration found TC numbers in several unauthorised
buildings, which were demolished during Operation Flood. Officials in
the administration say a probe could establish whether the allotment was
due to laxity or corruption. Now the moot question is whether the
district administration, which has won accolades for showing
steadfastness in removing encroachments, will go the extra mile in
ordering a probe to find how unauthorised buildings were allotted TC
numbers.
Moreover, it should fix responsibility and punish those involved in the allocation process.
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has been pulling out all stops to prevent erosion in its customer base in recent years.
The
company came up with their best offer yet earlier last week, when it
introduced unlimited free calling from its landline phones to all
landline and mobile phones of all service providers’ networks from 9
p.m. to 7 a.m.
At the press conference to announce
this new offer, the company also tempted journalists to apply for mobile
connections by distributing two recharge coupons worth Rs.220 to all of
them.
Though the ones who had BSNL sims were glad at
the free recharge, the others were seen contemplating whether to apply
for new connections to avail themselves of the offer.
Things it seems have improved a bit over the past few months at the company, with less frequent call drops and disruptions.
Even
through the hard times at the national level with mounting losses, the
Kerala circle had maintained its status as the only one making
substantial profits.
