General Secretary, BSNLEU, expresses his strong opposition to the proposed monetisation of BSNL’s towers and fibres.

In his discussion with the CMD BSNL yesterday, the 30.03.2021, Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, referred to the recent media reports, stating that the government is planning to raise Rs.40,000 crore, by monetising BSNL’s tower and optic fibre. The CMD BSNL replied that, the Management has no information about this. The General Secretary told the CMD BSNL that, any move by the government to sell BSNL’s tower and optic fibre, in the name of monetisation, would be opposed by the employees tooth and nail. The General Secretary also made it clear to the CMD BSNL that, monetisation of BSNL’s mobile towers means nothing, but privatisation of BSNL’s towers, which the employees will not allow.
