Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant has accused the central government of delaying MTNL and BSNL from launching 4G and 5G services, causing major customer losses.

Sawant published a letter dated 21 May 2024 from Neeraj Mittal, Secretary of the Ministry of Communications, to the secretaries of all central government ministries as well as the chief secretaries of all states and union territories on X. The letter proposes monetising MTNL and BSNL`s surplus land and building assets, reported PTI.
