Taking over of MTNL's services at Mumbai and Delhi by BSNL- Director (HR) holds meeting with the recognised unions and associations of BSNL..

BSNLEU has already informed that, Shri Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director (HR), will be holding a meeting with the Recognised Unions and Associations today, regarding taking over of the services of MTNL by BSNL. Accordingly, the meeting took place today. Ms.Anita Johri, PGM(SR) was also present. Representatives of all the recognised unions and associations participated. Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, participated in the meeting. Now, it seems that, the government has decided to direct BSNL to provide telecom services in Mumbai and Delhi, since MTNL is likely to be closed down. MTNL's networks are in shambles. At the same time, BSNL's financial condition is also not good. Under such a situation, BSNL should not be forced to bear the expenditure for restoring mobile and other networks in Mumbai and Delhi. This point was strongly raised in today's meeting by Com.P.Abhimanyu. However, in today’s meeting, the Director (HR) did not give complete details on this issue. He was only consulting the Unions and Associations, regarding deploying 255 MTNL Executives in BSNL. GS, BSNLEU clearly told that, the consultation with the Unions and Associations should not be a formality. He demanded that, the Management should provide complete details regarding the episode of BSNL’s taking over MTNL’s services. The Director (HR) agreed to this and assured that, a meeting would be held with complete details.
