(a) whether the Government propose to set up an independent office of Secondary Switch Area (D.E.T.) in Gadwa district of Jharkhand State by separating it from the Daltonganj Telecom Division;
(b) if so, the details thereof and
(c) if not, the reasons therefor?
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI TAPAN SIKDAR)
(a) No, Sir.
(b) Does not arise in view of (a) above.
(c) Gadwa is a revenue district under Daltonganj Secondary Switching Area (SSA). SSA is a basic unit of operation for the purpose of administration, charging, routing and numbering plans, so it is not bifurcated because of administrative and operational reasons. Hence it will not be feasible to set up independent office of DET at Gadwa by separating it from Daltonganj Telecom District.
