Darjeeling, June 13: The stage has been set for Prashant Tamang as he gears up for the next episode of Indian Idol.

As emotions ran high, the Darjeeling police today took the initiative for an amicable solution by bringing together cellular service providers and members of the public.
The “public hearing” organised at Darjeeling Planter’s Club started on a heated note with the residents of the town seeking an explanation for the alleged poor services during the last voting round and the lack of enough recharge vouchers. for Reliance customers.
“Why were there no vouchers available on that day (last Friday). We went running from shop to shop but to no avail,” said Manikala Tamang, a resident of the town.
Reliance distributor for Darjeeling Samden Lama clarified that vouchers had fallen short because such a huge upsurge in sales had not been anticipated. The distributors of all the companies assured that voting in the next round would go without a hitch.
Rajesh Dassani, the deputy general manager (sales), Reliance, said: “We already have 13 people across north Bengal constantly checking services with 2525 (Sony server). We are also taking into account the time needed for the delivery report to be sent across to the customer.”
