BSNL Management along with the representatives of M/S KPMG Consultants gave a Presentation today on the ‘Project Unnati’, the proposal for monetising the the BSNL Towers by forming a subsidiary company for managing the ‘Tower business of BSNL. Shri Neeraj Varma, GM SR and Shri Bhandari GM explained the details. All the unions/associations were invited to the presentation.

The Unions’/Associations’ representatives strongly opposed to the proposal for forming the new Tower Company.  They stated that they were not considered before the BSNL Board took the decision on such an important issue which affects the BSNL and the BSNL workers. They opposed the formation since  it is nothing less than separating the tower business from BSNL and later privatising it. The future of the employees who will be deputed/absorbed in the new company will be disastrous.

The Unions/Associations stated their strong protest and asked the available officers to convey the same to the Management.

From the BSNLEU, Coms. V.A.N.Namboodiri, President, P.Abhimanyu, General Secretary, Animesh Mitra, Dy.GS and Swapan Chakraborty, AGS participated.
