ISLAMABAD: Major telephone subscribers including big business firms and companies have protested against the indifferent attitude of the PTC for not sending their monthly bills in time and force them to collect the same themselves.

They complained that they have to pay accumulated bills sometimes spanning eight months which cause drain on their financial resources besides causing them mental agony.

The business community with their offices situated on the fringes of Rawalpindi and Islamabad have also criticised the functioning of postal department for making delay in delivering their mail, due to which they added, sometimes their important documents are lost. They said such documents often contain contract documents with foreign firms which results in heavy financial losses both to the firms and the country.

They have demanded of the postal authorities to take notice of the situation and order remedial measures so that the business community is relieved of their problems.-PPI
