DoT behaves like ‘Land Mafia’ - once again captures ALTTC from BSNL - BSNLEU vehemently opposes this high-handed action of the DoT..

At the time of the formation of BSNL, the Cabinet decided that the assets will also be transferred to BSNL. However, in violation of this decision of the Government, the DoT has taken over many assets of BSNL in the last 23 years. “Land Mafia” captures public lands. There is no difference between this “Land Mafia” and the DoT. Last year, the DoT took over the ALTTC campus. ALTTC includes 81 acres of land and many buildings. It’s worth is thousands of crores of rupees. The AUAB unitedly protested against this ‘land-capturing’ by the DoT. As a result, the DoT was forced to keep it’s decision under abeyance. But, the DoT has again issued order on 10-11-2023, and has taken over the ALTTC. This action of the DoT is not only arbitary but also high handed. BSNLEU vehemently opposes this action of the DoT. ALTTC is the premier and prestigious training centre of BSNL. The unions and associations of BSNL should not allow the DoT to usurp this asset from BSNL.
