Kanpur, August 24: Call it a co-incidence or inadvertent error, the phone line of the police control room here was today connected with local PTI office.
Then followed a flurry of phone calls in the PTI office asking for police personnel and requesting the staffer to play songs from ‘Pakiza’ film, “Inhin logon ne…”.
Even a person called up the office asking the police to tell a shopkeeper to recharge his phone.
The situation continued for nearly two hours until the telephone connection was corrected.
Meanwhile, SDO (telephone) said that the problem occurred due to digging of a sever as the lines were exchanged.
The distance between the PTI office and police control room is about 100 metres.
