CHQ writes to PGM (Pers) regarding Long stay list of Executives working in BSNL CO:

'While the situation is so, it is really surprising that the letter cited under reference proposes to reduce the staff strength of executives working in BSNL CO by 25%. We are afraid that the proposal is not based on a detailed study on the nature and working of BSNL Corporate Office and the consequences of shortage above 25%. This will result in far reaching consequences at a time when BSNL CO has been playing a major role in coordinating with the Circles regarding development activities in all verticals ensuring revival of financial health of BSNL.'   Read More
