Cooper pointed to an old electricity junction box at the entrance of the building with wires hanging out. "I do not know which one belongs to my line. I am tired of complaining. I used to go to the telephone exchange to complain. Then I wrote letters. Now, I call to complain. I have also tweeted. When is this going to end?" he asked.
A flat owner next to Cooper's office, A Rathod, said "Most of the occupants have mobile phones," he said. But personnel in an apparel store on the ground floor claimed both their landlines were working. Byculla MTNL exchange officials said they had received a complaint from Cooper on February 11 and had started the telephone on February 12.
