DoT finalising revival proposal, no shutdown: BSNL

New Delhi

“Department of Telecom is in the process of finalising a proposal for revival of BSNL to be considered by the Digital Communications Commission (DCC) very soon. DoT would like to see a robust BSNL, duly strengthened and financially viable, dedicated to servicing the nation and playing an important role in the telecom sector”, the PSU said in a statement. The state carrier was responding to a media report on its closure pressurised by the mounting losses.  At present there is no proposal under consideration with the government for closure of BSNL.
