BSNL directory by month-end

Special Correspondent

The last edition was published almost five years ago

CHENNAI: The much-awaited new version of the BSNL’s telephone directory for the city is getting ready for distribution by month-end.

The last directory came out almost five years ago and the delay in publishing an updated version had been a major subscriber grouse.

BSNL Chennai Telephones has now drawn up a schedule of distribution points — including its network of exchanges and area-wise customer service centres across the city — for reaching the Chennai Telephone Directory 2007 to its landline subscribers.

Distribution delayed

Though originally, the distribution was slated to start in a couple of days, it has been deferred by a fortnight to ensure that adequate copies were available for all subscribers. Chennai Telephones has gone in for an initial indent of around three lakh copies, but as of now, only around one-third of that number is available, it is learnt.

CD version

Officials of the BSNL are banking on popular preferences shifting in favour of CD versions of the directory. Both hard and soft copies are available free to the subscribers.

Subscribers can also look up their latest landline telephone bill for details on obtaining a copy of the new directory. Subscribers of the Chengalpattu secondary switching area have already been issued a directory supplementary issue in August, 2007.
