He was speaking at the inauguration of the BSNL Distribution Centre here recently.
While private mobile operators were limited to the city, Dhruvanarayan said that BSNL was providing service to rural areas. Pointing out that in order to call phone numbers in Hanuru and Punajanaru, customers have to prefix zero, Dhruvanarayan said that the problem had to be sorted out at the earliest.
