Take early steps for the revival of BSNL - The Hindu Business Line article demands.

The Hindu Business Line has published an article today, demanding the government to take immediate steps for the revival of BSNL. One or two points raised in this article are not agreeable to us. However, the article has demanded that BSNL should remain as a strong PSU, to counter the tariff manipulations by the private operators. The write-up has criticised many decisions taken by the government, which have weakened BSNL. It has demanded that BSNL should be freed from the tendering process, for effectively competing with the private companies. The article has also underscored the need for a strong BSNL, which is very much required to cater the needs of the rural and far-flung areas. Further, it has also emphasised the need for BSNL to remain as a strong government owned Company, at a time when cyber crimes and data espionage are feared. Will the Narendra Modi government open it’s eyes ?
