BSNL to Merge Circles for Improved Efficiency

The new update comes from Deccan Herald, which has reported that a highly placed source in the company said, “There are certain circles which are not benefiting the company. The board has approved the merger of circles in a bid to increase efficiency.” It is worth noting that the company boasts of having 24 circles and three training institutes, but as per the sources, the board has said that these circles are no longer useful for the company. The source said, “There are around 12 such circles.” As per this new report, the circles which will be merged after this new decision include – Punjab and Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh and Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, among others.

As per the sources, the responsibility of dealing with redundant staff will be given to the human resources department of the company since there are going to surplus employees after the merger of these circles. Regarding this, a source has said that mostly these employees will be parked inside the company only.
