Question : LOCAL CALL FACILITY



(a). whether the Government propose to provide local call facility between Delhi and Moradabad;

(b). if so, the details thereof; and

(c). if not, the reasons therefor?

Answer given by the minister


THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS (SHRI. TAPAN SIKDAR)

(a). No, Sir.

(b). Does not arise

(c). Local call facility at 180 sec. pulse rate is provided.


(i). When two Short Distance Charging Areas (SDCAs) are adjacent

(ii). When the radial distance between the two Short Distance Charging Centers (SDCCs) of two SDCAs falling in the same or adjacent Long Distance Charging Areas (LDCAs) is upto 50 Kms.

(iii). When the radial distance between two Long Distance Charging Centers (LDCCs) of two non-adjacent LDCAs is upto 50 Kms.


Since Delhi and Moradabad SDCAs do not fulfil the criteria as indicated above; local call facility at 180 sec. pulse rate has not been provided between Delhi and Moradabad.
