Over three lakh BSNL employees will go on an indefinite nation-wide strike from Tuesday against the Centre's proposal to sell stake in the state-owned telecom firm and plans to offer voluntary retirement to employees.
"The strike began at 6 am this morning at all centres except Delhi where it started at 10 am," convenor of the Joint Action Committee of BSNL Associations and Unions VAN Namboodiri said
Meanwhile, BSNL is working working on a contingency plan with over 10,000 senior staff, who are not participating in the strike, besides senior ITS cadre employees, to ensure services are not affected, its Chairman and Managing Director Kuldeep Goyal said.
