BSNL should undertake the activities of provisioning and maintenance of FTTH connections – TIPs should be disengaged – BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL..

The CEC meeting of BSNLEU, held at Kolkata on 25^th & 26^th September, 2024, expressed it’s serious concern over the massive disconnection of BSNL’s FTTH connections, that is taking place every month. This is due to the drastic deterioration in the quality of service of BSNL’s FTTH connections. The TIPs are not deploying qualified personnel for the maintenance of BSNL’s FTTH connections. Further, reports are received from many circles that the TIPs, who are also the partners of Jio and Airtel, are diverting BSNL’s FTTH connections to the private companies. Under these circumstances, the CEC meeting of BSNLEU has resolved to demand that,

1. BSNL should disengage the TIPs and that the Company itself should undertake the activities of provisioning and maintenance of BSNL’s FTTH connections.
2. The 50% revenue of FTTH, being given to the TIPs, should be utilised for procuring equipments for the provisioning of FTTH connections.
3. The ATTs and TTs should be immediately redeployed in the FTTH segment, since Management has taken the decision to abolish landline and broadband connections.

BSNLEU has written a detailed letter to the CMD BSNL today, communicating the above decisions of the CEC meeting of BSNLEU.
