Assam workers strike over the sell-off of cell phone towers

Assam workers strike over the sell-off of cell phone towers. “Garga Talukdar of the Joint Council of Trade Unions said the employees and officers of BSNL will not be a party in the 'nefarious' design to kill BSNL. (…) 'Now disinvestment of BSNL is in the pipeline. Formation of a subsidiary tower company is nothing but a backdoor method to privatize BSNL,’ the employees said.” [Assam Tribune, 15 December 2016]
