PMO may go ahead with BSNL, MTNL revival

[Mr.Bhat]

The Cabinet is soon expected to consider a formal proposal for the revival of cash-strapped state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL), with an approval expected by month end, according to a person aware of the matter.

The decision was taken after a high-level meeting at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Tuesday, despite the finance ministry reiterating its opposition on the revival package, citing additional financial burden on the state exchequer.

How many revivals will it take to compete with Jio and Airtel for them? They should just privatise their telecom sector. Their employees won't serve the purpose whatever they do.

What's the point of infusing money in a PSU whose employees are not ready to work, they suggest people to go with other Isp/telecoms.

Off-topic: In which circles is BSNL 4G available? If BSNL were even a little competent, I wouldn't be asking this question. (It would be available pan-India.)

V v bad. Waste of public money. Shame.
First throw 90% employees out. Then put money.
No use. They are sucking public money. 140 crore pay taxes (gst, it,etc), for 1 lakh ppl enjoying salary and no work. Throw 1 lakh ppl out. They will not vote for bjp. It does not matter. If ppl get good service, they will vote. They did good by not putting money in jet airways. Now they should also sell air india. Wasting money.
