As unprecedented rains and floods in Chennai have disrupted normal life and restricted people’s movement from homes, the country's largest telecom operator, Bharti Airtel, on Wednesday said it is facilitating some measures for customers.
Some of the offers include auto approval of ‘Talk Time’ credit up to Rs 30 for all Airtel pre-paid mobile customers, free-of-cost credit of 10 minutes of Airtel-to-Airtel calling for pre-paid mobile customers with a validity of two days and free-of-cost credit of 50MB mobile data for Airtel pre-paid mobile customers with a validity of two days.
Airtel post-paid and fixed line customers, whose bills are due to be paid immediately, will also get an extended time to make the payment and will experience uninterrupted services, the company said.
"The uninterrupted rains have also resulted in excessive water logging and disruption of essential services in Chennai, thus causing power failures and impacting our services in some regions. We at Airtel are relentlessly working with the local authorities to enable smooth mobile communication for Airtel customers across the city," it said.
