Department of Posts & Telegraphs was appreciated in the foregone days as one of the best, functioning effectively and without having the smear of corruption. P&T was bifurcated and DoP and DoT was formed in 1985.
After the neo-liberal policy was initiated by the Government and private companies started functioning in Telecom Services, the situation changed. MNCs, big business, politicians, bureaucrats made the telecom sector their fiefdom. Corruption started raising its ugly head in the award of licences, charges to be levied for licences, allotment of spectrum, purchase of equipment and so on. From the days of Communications Minister Sukh Ram, there have been series of corruptions, which is of course, a bye-product of the neo-liberalisation, privatisation policy.
The formation of BSNL has also resulted in serious corruption charges against top management personnel and even to the lower levels. It is reported in the papers that BSNL/Telecom has out-passed Income Tax, Central Excise etc. in the number of corruption cases.
Another corruption is the huge exploitation of the casual and contract labour for pecuniary benefits. As a Member of Parliament alleged in the Lok Sabha, the corruption by exploitation of the unorganised workers in the country will be hundred times more the 1.76 lakh crore 2G scam. BSNL has its share with about one lakh casual/contract workers, mostly exploited.
These corruptions have eroded the excellent name achieved through decades of sincere and committed work by the DoP&T. Can’t we restore our good name through a complete change of habits and fighting corruption with determination and making BSNL corruption-free? It is not impossible. Sustained, collective and determined effort can make things better for BSNL and the nation.
Let us move towards a corruption-free BSNL.
