Can I believe that action will be taken if i register. No hope. This is india “Every thing is OK Sob Cheltha HI” Having a cell is buying hell and burning in hell. Neither Govt nor any authority takes action so no use of giving complaint.
I and my wife registered with DND.
Both me and my wife made hundreds of complain only to receive one BIG complain number.We made internet complain to web of Airtel.
As usual in India there seems no administration (we are frustrated)and continuously receiving unsolicited SMS- daily at least 10-15 each.
Now we have stopped registering complain.
God alone knows if by complaining we ourselve shall become victim!!!
We have seen occations,when in this land messengers/ whishel blowers are shot.
God save us !!!
Good efforts.
