Weak mobile signals in major Lahore markets are affecting businesses badly, therefore, cellular companies and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) need to look into the matter urgently as it is hampering business activities, say businessmen.
Talking to delegations of various trade associations, Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Mian Tariq Misbah, Senior Vice President Nasir Hameed Khan and Vice President Tahir Manzoor Chaudhry promised them that the LCCI would take up the issue at the highest level and would ensure its early resolution. They said the problem of poor mobile signals had increased and cellular companies were not paying attention to the complaints.
The delegations pointed out that earlier the Lahore High Court had issued directives to officials of all cellular companies and the PTA director Lahore to resolve the issue and take immediate steps for improving the network coverage.
However, they said the issue had not been resolved yet and market associations were now planning to take the matter to consumer courts. The LCCI office-bearers were of the view that going to courts was the last resort and the Lahore Chamber wanted an out-of-court settlement.
