Corporates such as Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communications, Vodafone and taxi operator Olacabs have come out to provide relief to thousands of people stranded across Chennai because of heavy flooding in India's fourth largest city. Even state-run BSNL is chipping in.
Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said state-run BSNL would not charge anything for a week. If monthly bills are not paid, there won't be disconnection until further orders, he said.
To help people reach officials and their loved ones, mobile major Bharti Airtel announced auto credit of upto Rs 30 talk time, free of cost credit of 10 minutes of Airtel-to-Airtel calling and free of cost credit of 50MB mobile data for its prepaid customers.
Postpaid customers will get more time to make payments and will experience uninterrupted services, the company said. Bharti added that it is "relentlessly" working with local authorities to enable smooth mobile communication for Airtel customers across the city.
Reliance Communications is also offering customers 10 minutes free talk time to any network across the country, along with free 50MB mobile data for prepaid customers. RCom is also offering free recharge of Rs 10.
Vodafone is also doing its part and has a similar offering along with free 100MB mobila data.
Olacabs said it is working closely with the fire department to help people stuck in rains.
