In order to resolve the issue, meetings were held at the level of CMD BSNL, Secretary, Department of Telecom and the Minister of Communications & IT. The Unions were assured that they will be taken into confidence before arriving at a final policy decision regarding disinvestments, VRS etc. Assurances on all other issues were also given by the Minister with definite time frame.

Even now the Government is having an open mind to resolve the issues.
All efforts are being made to ensure that the services are not disrupted and no inconvenience is caused to our esteemed customers.
