Uninor / Telenor — Not accepting Passport for New connection

Address:

Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, 226005

Hello,
Today I visited one of your store at Lucknow for new connection. My father is cancer patient and I plan to be here to take care of him and needed a new connection.

But to my surprise, Telenor refused to give me the application form as I happen to be with my Passport copy and I was told that Telenor company management and board of directors have gave directives to store to NOT TO ACCEPT PASSPORT as ID proof.

I urgently needed this connection and I was shocked with insensitiveness of Telenor. Also, it strange that Telenor working in India does not consider Indian Passport as valid proof.

I am also writing to External Affairs ministry and Respectable Sushma Swaraj to look into this matter and check how can Telenor call Indian Passport invalid on Indian Land.

Really pathetic.

Regards,
Proud Indian holding Indian Passport
