He further mentioned that Launching of 4G is badly delayed due to non-consideration of BSNL Global Tender towards the purchase of 57000 4G equipments by the Empowered Technology Group (ETG) in the name of ‘Atamnirbhar Bharat’. The demand of AUAB to upgrade the 49,300 existing 2G & 3G BTSs by spending around Rs.1500 crore has been partially approved by the Management Committee of  the BSNL Board i.e Upgradtion 18, 000 BTS of ZTE.

The Indigenous 4G Tender (EoI) on PoC basis as recommended by the ETG has also been opened on 20.6.2021 and instructions issued to the Field Units in this regard on 30.6.2021. So the vison of BSNL for earning more revenue through launching of 4G Services is further delayed.

In the name of Restructuring/ Manpower Plan and pending SLP at Hon’ble Superem Court tagged with Jarnail Singh Case, all the Promotions are strucked up. AIBSNLEA strongly opposed the undue delay in Restructuring Process and Promotions and continuous looking-after arrangement instead of  Regular Promotions to maintain the Services.
