The RGM TTC is a reputed and huge Training Centre of Tamil Nadu circle, located at Chennai. It is unfortunate that, the BSNL Management has decided to lease out this huge Training Centre to the IIT, Chennai. The unions and associations of Tamil Nadu circle have demanded that, at least some portions of the RGM TTC should be retained by BSNL and the remaining parts could be let out on lease. The CHQ of BSNLEU had already written a letter on this to the CMD BSNL. Yesterday, the President and General Secretary of BSNLEU met CMD BSNL and insisted upon this demand. However, the CMD BSNL replied that, the process of leasing out the RGM TTC to the IIT, Chennai, is in an advanced stage and hence the demand of the unions could not be accepted.
