Creation of a single Telecom Factory Circle – BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL.

The BSNL Management has merged the telecom factories with their respective Territorial Circles. This step has been taken, with the ulterior motive of closing down the telecom factories ultimately and selling away the vast stretches of lands that the factories are having.  We cannot allow the telecom Factories to be closed down. Even in the present day situation, telecom factories could be better utilised, to manufacture many of the equipments and materials, required by BSNL and thereby can cut down the expenditure. The Central Executive Committee meeting of BSNLEU has demanded that all the telecom factories of Mumbai, Kolkata and Jabalpur should be merged together and a single Telecom Factory Circle should be created. BSNLEU has written to the CMD BSNL, raising this demand.
