ReplyDeleteThe essential items required for maintenance such as cable, wire etc. are unavailable in BSNL offices. Customers are requested to purchase them. The top management is insensitive to the ground realities as they are not part of BSNL, they are on indefinite deputation from DOT. Even if BSNL sinks they are safe.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to see the demise of BSNL, having been an irreplaceable part of an Indian household for decades. This is a classic example that demonstrates the consequences of reluctance to change with the times. BSNL has the most comprehensive network in India with almost unlimited resources, yet they failed to capitalize on it. Now they face extinction, such a shame. If only we had someone dedicated and honest to run the telecom sector.
