📖 The Petition

To the Government of India and the Department of Telecommunications (DoT),

We, the working executives, non-executives, retired staff, families, and well-wishers of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited ( BSNL ), are submitting this national petition to demand an immediate end to systemic administrative injustice and the preservation of our workforce dignity.

While BSNL’s dedicated workforce continues to perform under immense pressure to execute the nation’s prestigious, home-grown 4G and 5G rollouts, their basic financial rights, promotions, and social security have been entirely frozen. This petition stands as a unified ultimatum against the complete neglect of the people who form the backbone of India’s digital sovereignty.
