BSNL/MTNL: GoM led by Amit Shah to meet today to discuss revival

A Group of Ministers (GoM) meeting on Tuesday will discuss issues pertaining to revival of BSNL and MTNL.

Sources told BusinessLine that the recently constituted GoM is headed by Home Minister Amit Shah and has Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman among others as the members. The GoM will meet within the Parliament premises and discuss the possibilities of reviving both public sector telecom entities.

The Telecom Minister Prasad on his first day of taking office had said that the government will work on the revival of both the companies. But, in the meantime, the BSNL and MTNL employees will have to pull up their socks to compete with private players.
