Bangalore: Under the banner of Joint Forum of BSNL Associations and Unions of Executives and Non-Executives, the BSNL staff has staged a protestation in the city for their various demands.

The associates stated that the promises made by the Communication Minister, when BSNL workers have resorted to a countrywide strike on July 11, were not followed up completely.

In spite of repeated supplications by the BSNL’s staff, share in GSM mobile connections has not improved, while private players have been offering megs of connections each month.

The workers told that the cut in access deficit charges and universal service obligation fund payable to BSNL over the years has endangered the firm’s financial capability.
