    Th anti corruption cell of CBI should raid the properties belonging to Bangalore staff of BSNL also bcoz the higher officers of BSNL in B'lore do nothing in office.Most of the officers are not found in offices,most of the time they are out of thier seats while on duty.The BSNL service in B'lore is almost ZERO comparing the services in M'lore and other cities in the State.If the telephone line is out of order,the comnsumer must wait atleast 7-10 days to get regularize.If the broadband goes off, then God alone knows when it will be repaired.When we go for complaining,there will be deaf ears to recieve us.It is all becoz the currupt officers of BSNL,especially Bangalore east exchange.
