Let us not believe such words and instead put all our energies into making BSNL more vibrant.

Some of the unions of Non executives in BSNL are pleading with the management to give them minimum trade union facilities.

Why this tamasha at this time. The next verification is just another year away.  The management should not give unnecssary advantage to the unrecognised unions. Let them earn recognition by winning the confidence of the workers and not by back door.
