1.8 crore customers left BSNL in one year - BSNLEU once again writes to the Hon'ble Minister of Communications demanding immediate intervention.

The commissioning of BSNL's 4G network is getting horribly delayed. As a result of this, customers are leaving BSNL massively. BSNLEU is continuously writing letters to the Hon'ble Minister of Communications and to the BSNL Management, highlighting the massive exodus of customers from BSNL, due to the non-availability of 4G / 5G service. BSNLEU had already requested the government to permit BSNL to utilise Vodafone Idea's network temporarily, for providing 4G service to it's customers. However, it is unfortunate that, the government has not taken any action. On 16-04-2024, BSNLEU has organised nationwide demonstrations, demanding government's immediate intervention on this matter. The New Indian Express dated 04-05-2024 has reported that, totally 1.8 crore customers have left BSNL in the financial year ended March, 2024. The newspaper report also says that, 23 lakh customers have left BSNL in the month of March, 2024 alone. Under this circumstance, BSNLEU has once again written letter to Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon'ble Minister of Communications today, demanding the prompt intervention of the government, to enable BSNL to immediately provide 4G service to it's customers. Copy of the letter is enclosed for the information of our comrades.
