Agartala, Feb 18 (TIWN): If you’ve been calling a thana (police station) and your call is not being received, chances are that the telephone at the thana is out of order. Months of unpaid phone bills by a number of thana’s across the state have accumulated so much so that the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has disconnected their telephone lines. This was stated by minister in charge of home department today at assembly.

 According to the statement,  out of 71 thana’s, BSNL department snapped the connections of 19 thanas and one was defunct  since 2013 for technical defect.
