In case the deputationist ITS are not relieved from BSNL by that time, the Forum has decided to go on indefinite strike immediately. The agitation programmes will continue till the time deputationist ITS' are relieved from BSNL. MTNL Unions/Associations will also be contacted shortly to organize joint struggles..

Forum representatives expressed their serious anguish against BSNL Management's comment that on relieving of 1000 ITS, BSNL will collapse/locked out denouncing the very existence of 2.7 lakhs BSNL employees. Hence, Forum decided that now CMD BSNL has to decide that whether he will run BSNL with the presence of 1000 deputationist ITS or 2.7 lakhs BSNL employees. More details will be given shortly.
