Further CMD BSNL emphasized upon the need for increasing the revenue, specially he expressed his concern on the declining trend of FTTH connections.He sought the support of employees in increasing the revenue. We emphasized that whatever plan which management makes for the betterment of BSNL, employees are supporting wholeheartedly but employees are disheartened because of non resolution of the HR issues pertaining to Pay, Promotion and Pension and hence management must proactively resolve these issues now. we expressed our firm support in achieving the gain in revenue and also increasing the connections. We gave the feedback received from field units on issues faced in 4G roll out and other crucial network issues.
