Association holds further discussions with Shri.Y.S.Bhave and Shri.R.N.Prabhakar. It was informed that the finalisation of the recommendations of the committee was making very good progress. It was also informed that the views of the Association would be sought before finalising the recommendations. This is a much awaited and welcome deviation from the previous practices of the BSNL Management which refused even to divulge the contents of the reports of several committees even before approval from the BSNL board. The new committee has thus ensured that the Association will be taken in to confidence before pushing through any of its recommendations. The proposed meeting for interaction with the Association and Committee is likely to take place in three or four days time. |

SNEA interacts with Shri.Y.S.Bhave and Shri.R.N.Prabhakar further on Time Bound Policy.

The arguments of the Association have been well received by the Committee as sound and reasonable. As assured by the Chairman Telecom Commission during the AIC we expect positive developments on the policy in the near future. |
