I guess the entire nation has been talking much on terror and even major police officers are busy doing their talks.
As for Idea, are they out for publicity?
Will the fund thus collected go for the purchase of safety gears or will the public be left in the lurch as usual?
If their main site shows the following:
*The campaign is an initiative of mobile operator, IDEA Cellular, which has a subscriber base of over 53 million across the country. The campaign will be supported across print, television, digital and outdoor media space. The funds accumulated from calls initiated from the network during the 'Talk for India Hour' will be donated to the Government.
Their terms and conditions shows thus..
