It is reported in the newspapers, that the government is proposing to make mandatory provisions for the government departments and PSUs to take only BSNL/MTNL telephone services.At present, many govt. offices and PSUs are using private telecom services. This is intended to help BSNL/MTNL as such an order was issued making it mandatory for all government officers to travel by Air India only.
This is one of the demand placed by the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations to the Group of Ministers headed by Finance minister for revival of BSNL/MTNL. The Forum has also written to the Prime Minister and all Chief Ministers demanding that the Central/State governments and their PSUs be mandated to have BSNL/MTNL service only.
The government should immediately take this correct decision and implement the same without further delay.
