"For the benefit of the subscribers a cash collection centre was established by the BSNL authorities opposite to Head Post office in the old REajouri town, but mostly it remain closed either due to defunct machinery or due to casual approach of the concerned officials and the employees deputed at this centre" said Yogesh Sharma, a political leader & social activist
