Kharagpur Telecom Factory was proposed to be closed and handed over to Tata, which has got a factory nearby. Due to local struggle and intervention from BSNLEU CHQ, the factory was not closed and manufacturing of towers was started there. Some other Telecom Factories like Jabalpur, Richai etc. are also manufacturing towers. There is much demand for towers. There are more than hundred towers manufactured and stored in the TFs, but no order from the Circles/SSAs. Orders are being given to private companies. Despite clear instructions from Corporate Office that towers should be purchased from Telecom Factories, why subordinate offices are purchasing from outside. This has to be stopped. Please check whether your circle is ordering from outside and if so ensure that it is stopped and orders are issued to Telecom Factory only.
