BSNL unions allege govt creating roadblocks in company’s 4G service, call for strike on November 26

Eight employee unions at BSNL have called for a general strike on November 26 mainly to protest against alleged obstacles being created by the government in the launch of 4G service by the state-run telecom firm.

BSNL cancelled its 4G tender floated in March following allegations that it was inclined towards foreign vendors and not in line with government’s vision to promote indigenous companies.
