BSNL is a big company,  10th in the list of the companies having maximum assets. Its service area covers all nooks and corners of the country. It has got more than 30,000 offices and exchanges.  But the posts of three Directors are vacant for the past many months, in some case years. Even the important posts of Director (Finance) and Director (HR) are unfilled. For both these two posts, selection is already made months back by the Select Committees, but appointment orders are not issued. It is not understood why the posts are not filled up.

The demand of the Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations is that all these posts of Directors be immediately filled up so that the management will be able to function effectively.
