It is reported that DOT has appointed a Committee to examine the Merger issue of BSNL and MTNL. Unions in BSNL and MTNL have been asked to intimate their opinions within 3 days.
This is a very complex issue and requires discussion by the unions internally and jointly by the unions and hence sufficient time is required.
The Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations will be meeting immediately after Com. V.A.N.Namboodiri, Convener, returns to Delhi after attending the International Conference of Pensioners and Retirees being held at Barcelona, Spain. In the meantime the CEC Meeting of the BSNLEU is taking place at Rajkot on 7-9 February.
