He was speaking on the occasion of handing over cellphones and toolkits to 100 linemen of STR-II. The general manager said that the company was aware of the problems of linemen and many more steps would be taken in this direction including the provision of motorcycles to them.

He exhorted the officials and staff to take steps for redressing the customer’s complaints.
