Mysuru: The State Government has cracked the whip on misuse of free mobile connections by Corporators and selected officers of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC). Already many free connections offered under Corporate User Group (CUG) of BSNL have been disconnected and all the connections are expected to be disconnected by tomorrow.
Over 200 free post-paid mobile connections were provided to all the 70 Corporators including the nominated ones and some officers for better coordination and availability. The connections were provided in 2007 by the then Deputy Commissioner P. Manivannan, who was also holding charge as MCC Commissioner. However, it was found that certain Corporators and Officers used the mobile and internet connection often for personal use than official purposes, causing severe losses to the State exchequer.
