Provide financial assistance to BSNL, for restoring mobile and other networks in Delhi and Mumbai..

The BSNL Corporate Office has issued notice for holding a meeting tomorrow, regarding “transfer of MTNL operations to BSNL”. In this meeting, the Director (HR) will discuss the issue with the Recognised Unions and Associations. MTNL has reached the stage of getting closed down. Hence, the mobile, landline and other operations of MTNL is likely to be handed over to BSNL. This will place a huge financial burden on BSNL. This is because, BSNL has to spend a huge amount to restore the mobile, landline and fibre network. Undoubtedly, providing mobile and other services in Mumbai and Delhi will be advantageous to BSNL. At the same time, it is the responsibility of the government to provide financial assistance to BSNL, for the restoration of the networks in Mumbai and Delhi. General Secretary, BSNLEU, will raise this issue in tomorrow’s meeting.
