‘All lines in this route are busy...’
Narnaul, June 3
What ails the electronic telephone exchange in Narnaul? While telephone connections are too many, the service lines available with the exchange are too few. The result is that it has become really hard for any caller to get any line. The stock reply is ‘all lines in this route are busy, try after sometime’ when one dials any STD line.
Observers say things have come to such a pass because of the government policy to provide telephones to every village without augmenting the capacity of the exchanges. It has been observed that whenever one dials the enquiry number 197, it will connect at the Rewari exchange and the receiver never replies immediately.
