Call to transform BTTB into public sector body

leaders of Bangladesh T & T Board Sramik Karmachari Federal Union yesterday called upon the government to transform Bangladesh Telephone and Telegraph Board (BTTB) into a full-fledged public sector organisation with the inclusion of the mobile telephone operator company Teletalk and the submarine cable network under its jurisdiction by repealing the BTTB ordinance-2008.

Speaking at the general meeting of central and regional leaders of the Federal Union at Dhaka Telephone Region (DTR-West) at Sher-e-Banglanagar in the city, the Federal Union leaders also urged the government to break monopoly business of all the private sector operators for the sake of revitalising the BTTB.

They also appealed to the T&T minister to remove those corrupt high officials who were appointed in the board during the regime of the previous BNP-led alliance government and were hatching conspiracy to jeopardise the vision of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for presenting a digital Bangladesh.

Presided over by DTR-West unit president of the Federal Union Sufi Mohammad Sharif, the meeting was also addressed by its central committee leaders Md Nurul Azad and secretary general SMA Mukit (Hiru) and other central and regional leaders.
