BSNL is in financial difficulty to purchase equipment for providing new connections, for which requests are coming in large numbers all over the country after the scheme for free night calls has been announced by BSNL. But the connections could not be given due to shortage of equipment like cable, drop wires etc.
It is the time for the government to assist BSNL. The refund of spectrum charges for the spectrum surrendered coming to more than Rs. 4,700 crores ( it is stated by the DOT that Rs.2000 crore out of Rs. 6,700 crores have been adjusted in the licence fee to be paid by BSNL) should be paid to BSNL without any adjustment. In the same way Rs. 1,250 crore allotted from USO Fund for 2012-13 should also be immediately paid so that BSNL can buy necessary equipment. Any adjustment can be made later, but not now, when BSNL is in urgent requirement of funds.
The Communications Minister Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad and the Government are continuously declaring that BSNL will not be allowed to die and that it will be strengthened. This is the time for the same.
The Forum of BSNL unions/associations should unitedly make the government to pay the above dues immediately, which the DOT has agreed to pay in the strike discussions on 1st May 2015.

The people are working on “make the best of a bad job”/ All the schemes are in paper. But diluted to come to lower level. implementation is zero. no accountability. and hence no ability
