PTCL Is a Source of Torture
By a Helpless Resident of Rawalpindi
Pakistan


I have been regularly suffering torture for over one month.

My phone number is 051-4417813, I run a small scale business. I am also a writer of many books on our great Sufis. I made dozens of complaints. I used all my sources and now I feel exhausted. I called high-ups of this country and I could not get my phone in working condition as usual. If someone ordered to bring it in working condition it worked only for one or two hours. Then it starts to give double voicing or it becomes single track and then it dies completely.

If I talk to the employees of the PTCL they simply say that the lines are not in good condition. I ask them who will bring them in good and working condition. Either they drop the phone or they become silent. I pay monthly Rs.1400 telephone bill whereas I often use phone cards. My fellow shopkeepers ask me to keep the linemen happy. Unfortunately, I can’t do that. I suspect someone else is using my phone. I don't know what to do. Is there anyone among the Lords of this country who could come ahead to help me so that my phone could start working in a reasonable way and this torture could be over.

I am in favor of PTCL's complete privatization - as soon as possible.
