Question : WAITING LIST FOR TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS IN HARYANA

(a) whether the Government is aware that there are a number of people in Bhiwani and Hisar Telecom Circles of Haryana who are awaiting telephone connections for several years;

(b) if so, the number of wait listed persons for telephone connections in various exchanges of Bhiwani and Hisar Telecom Circles, exchange-wise;

(c) the reasons for the inordinate delay in providing telephone connections in the above circles; and

(d) the fresh steps taken/being taken by the Government in this regard?

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (DR. SHAKEEL AHMAD)

(a) Yes, Sir.

(b) Exchange-wise details of waitlisted persons for telephone connections of Bhiwani and Hisar revenue districts, as on 31- 07-2005 are given in Annexure-I and II respectively.

(c) In most of urban areas in these districts, telephones are available on demand from BSNL. In some rural areas however, the scattered demand has not been met by BSNL owing to non- availability of telecom network in far-flung areas where such demand exists. Most of the waiting list in rural areas is from such far-flung scattered areas where laying of telecom network is techno-commercially not feasible.

(d) Since most of the waiting list is in the rural remote areas, certain steps have been taken by BSNL to make available telecom network in such areas:


(i) Large scale deployment of WLL network in rural areas to substitute the landline network.


(ii) Relaxation of the outdoor cable norms to 5 Kms. against the earlier standard of 2.5 Kms for landline connectivity wherever such demand exists.

(iii) BSNL is deploying its mobile network in all the Highways, important towns, pilgrim centers and State highways in that order of priority, which gives incidental coverage to large parts of rural areas.
