MTNL, BSNL executives seek Governor’s help

CHENNAI: The United Forum of Executives of MTNL and BSNL, Chennai, on Wednesday submitted a memorandum to Governor S.S. Barnala seeking his intervention in the implementation of the demand for repatriation to the Department of Telecommunications.

The memorandum stated that the decision to seek repatriation, which is also an issue over which telecom officers have been on the warpath recently, was “taken after extensive deliberations over the dual policy of the government on the issue of absorption, which has shaken the very foundation of viability of BSNL and MTNL.”

The memorandum urged the Governor to expedite a solution that would avert further precipitation of the issue.
