Calamity in Uttarakhand - BSNL mobile service saves lives.

The breaking down of a glacier in Uttarakhand, has caused sudden floods in the Alaknanda, Dhauli Ganga and Rishi Ganga rivers last Sunday. More than 100 people are believed to have died in the flash floods. Hydroelectric Power Stations in these rivers have also collapsed.  Many workers have got trapped in the tunnels of these power stations.  However, 12 workers trapped in one such collapsed tunnel, have miraculously escaped, because of BSNL’s mobile service. Vinod Singh, aged 33 is a welder. He got trapped in one of the tunnels, together with 11 other workers. However, even inside the collapsed tunnel, Vinod Singh was receiving signal on his mobile phone. This enabled him to contact the rescue team. As a result, all the 12 workers were safely rescued. Once again BSNL has come to the rescue of the calamity struck citizens of the country. We attach herewith media reports on this.
