BSNL towers erection.stand off.-13 06 12

Union home minister P. Chidambaram and telecom minister Kapil Sibal are likely to team up to push a department of telecom proposal to set up over 2,000 mobile towers in Naxalite-hit states that was struck down by the finance ministry.
Pranab Mukherjee’s finance ministry has objected to the contract being given to state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and is insisting that a tender be floated in accordance with government rules.
In a draft cabinet note moved this April, the DoT proposed BSNL’s name for commissioning and maintaining 2,199 mobile towers in nine Naxalite-affected states for five years. The note, termed “premature” by the finance ministry, was circulated to the Planning Commission and the home and rural development ministries.
