VRS - No smoke without fire.

Rumours are spreading like wildfire, stating that the government and the BSNL Management are taking steps for implementing another round of VRS. Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, has approached the senior officers in the Corporate Office to know  the fact. However, all the officers are remaining tight-lipped. As we know, there will not be smoke without fire. BSNL is already reeling under acute shortage of manpower. After the last VRS, the Management had resorted to massive outsourcing of works. However, this has only resulted in the total disconnection of BSNL landline and broadband connections. Further, the BSNL’s FTTH connections are also facing massive surrendering. Under these circumstances, implementation of one more VRS will prove to be disastrous for the Company. May be, the government needs one more VRS for the privatisation of BSNL in the near future. All the employees and the Trade Union movement of BSNL should oppose tooth and nail, any attempt to implement one more VRS.
