It is shocking to note that, The National Land Monetisation Corporation Ltd. has called for tenders for selling out 52,178 sq. metres of land and buildings of the Alipore Telecom Factory in West Bengal circle. It is a billion dollar question to whom the money from the sale of this property will go to. The employees of BSNL are the important stakeholders of the Company. However, the unions and associations are kept in the dark. The Alipore Telecom Factory is still operational and is manufacturing important components for BSNL’s networks. BSNLEU has written letter to the CMD BSNL, today, with copies to Shri Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, Hon’ble Minister of Communications and Dr. Neeraj Mittal, Secretary, Telecom. In it’s letter, BSNLEU has demanded that, the Telecom Factory at Alipore should not be sold out and it should continue to manufacture telecom equipments. BSNLEU has also stated that, the land lying idle could be sold out, but the money of this sale should come to BSNL and it should not be usurped by the government. BSNLEU has also demanded that, the entire matter should be discussed with the unions and associations.
