PM refers BSNL tender issue to Pitroda committee
PRESS TRUST OF INDIA
New Delhi, Feb 7: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has asked the Department of Telecom to refer the controversial BSNL tender issue to the Sam Pitroda committee for urgent consideration.
Singh had constituted a committee under Pitroda last month to look into the functioning of two telecom PSUs-- BSNL and MTNL. Noted banker Deepak Parikh and the Telecom Secretary are members of this panel.
Singh's directive comes in the wake of Telecom Minister A Raja seeking his intervention for early resolution of BSNL's tender controversy. The minister had said that the corporate rivalry was affecting the decision making process in BSNL.
BSNL had invited bids for GSM equipment for an estimated investment of over Rs 36,000 crore but the PSU could not place the orders even after 20 months of tender due to various issues, including legal battles.
