Only incoming in Land line swept the market and achieved record target of more than 70 K customer base. Over whelming response in Garuda Mobile segment too.
 
  Congratulations !!! Keep it up !!! DOT is of the view that MTNL Executives’ promotion policy should be in the same lines with that of BSNL. It is also learnt that BSNL Executives’ promotion policy is in the final stage of formulation. TEAM opposes the move as the terms and conditions of absorption in BSNL and MTNL are entirely different.  We members cannot forgo the services rendered in MTNL. While the Officers absorbed in VSNL along with MTNL enjoyed all benefits, Why officers of DoT absorbed in MTNL had to suffer or give up all those benefits which are loyally due for ? TEAM submits its view point on this issue and is determined to go to any length for getting justified dues for the past services rendered in the corporation. click here for Copies of Letter Submitted to DOT and MTNL in this regard.

TEAM WISHES ALL THE EMPLOYEES OF MTNL A HAPPY PROSPEROUS AND SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR’2006 

To achieve these objectives it is most imperative that TEAM is strengthened with enrolling more and more members and involving the youngsters. Rightly decided in the last HQ working Committee Meeting all the branches in Delhi and Mumbai should be formed by 31/01/2006. Therefore I appeal to all the HQ and Circle office bearers to take initiative to form the branches in those buildings where they are yet to be formed. In the existing branches where the office bearers have been transferred, hold the branch meetings and fill up all the posts of branch office bearers by co-option.
