No lay-offs or cut in retirement age: BSNL

New Delhi: Public sector telecom carrier BSNL has said there is no plan to effect any lay-offs in the company, as well as any move to reduce the retirement age although an attractive VRS is underway for “willing” employees. “Turnaround of BSNL being devised by DoT and BSNL includes allotment of 4G spectrum and offering lucrative VRS to willing staff.

Reduction of retirement age or laying off employees is not at all being considered.
