MTNL staff protest over non-payment of salary

Distressed employees of MTNL on Monday protested in front of Sanchar Bhawan, which houses the department of telecommunications, and also tried to meet Communications minister Ravi Shankar Prasad. However, they failed to meet the minister as he was busy in Parliament.

MTNL employees have not got salaries for the past two months. Sources in the telco said that the company was trying to arrange the salaries through collection of dues but it won’t suffice the salary of its 22,000 staff for two months.
