Telecom workers in Orissa Circle will be happy to know that at last BSNL Corporate Office has issued orders today renaming Orissa Telecom Circle as Odisha Telecom Circle.

The State Government and the Central Government had already decided the change of name 2 years back.

However, I am happy that at last the order has been issued. Better late than never!
