BSNL revival in sight, says Kangra MP

BSNL would soon regain its momentum and emerge stronger, said Dr Rajiv Bhardwaj, Member of Parliament for Kangra-Chamba and Chairman of the Telephone Advisory Committee, during a key meeting held at the BSNL Headquarters in Dharamshala on Saturday.

Addressing the committee, Dr Bhardwaj praised the Central Government’s initiatives to revitalise BSNL, particularly the BharatNet project, which aims to deliver high-speed fibre connectivity to every panchayat in Kangra and Chamba. He said this would ensure affordable internet access even in remote rural regions.

He also lauded BSNL’s latest Diwali offering — a Swadeshi 4G plan with unlimited calls, 2GB of daily data, and 100 SMS for just Rs 1 — describing it as “highly attractive and affordable.” Parliament, he noted, had recently commended such consumer-friendly measures.

Dr Bhardwaj commended the leadership of Vipin Kumar Maurya, Senior General Manager of BSNL Dharamshala, expressing confidence telecom services in the region would improve under his guidance.
