14 BSNL properties in Karnataka up for sale or lease: MoS replies to BJP MP’s query

The central government’s Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), a Public Sector Unit, has identified 14 unutilised or underutilised immovable properties in Karnataka which can be monetised, minister of state for telecom and communication Devusinh Chauhan Wednesday said in a reply to a question raised by BJP’s Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya.

The response read, “The Government intends to monetize such properties by leasing of vacant space in buildings or outright sale of land parcels as deemed appropriate in the best interest of BSNL. As per Government’s policy, BSNL is empowered to lease out lands and/or buildings to Central Government ministries/departments,
