The 7th meeting of the board of directors of Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) will be held today (Monday) to decide about several important issues including turning the company into a more efficient organisation.
The meeting will take place at city's Telejogajog Bhaban this afternoon.
According to reliable sources, besides confirming the minutes of the last meeting of the BTCL board of directors, today's meeting will also decide about some significant agenda to pave the way for running the state-run telecommunications entity more smoothly and progressively. The 6th meeting of the board of directors was held on November 13 this year.
The meeting has more than ten agenda to discuss.
Sources said, after turning the state-owned BTTB into a limited company, named Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Ltd (BTCL), on July 1 this year in order to make it pro-people, service-oriented and profitable national enterprise, various significant steps were taken during the last six months.
Today's meeting will also discuss different means with a view to enabling the BTCL to survive and flourish in the competitive telecommunications market, a senior company official told FE on Sunday.
The meeting is expected to take decisions related to ensuring transparency and accountability in different procurements of BTCL. Besides this, with the intention of making its purchasing system more transparent, the meeting is likely to approve the proposal for bringing the second amendment to the company procurement policy. In accordance with one of the agenda for today's meeting, the final draft of the policy will be produced at the meeting, he hinted.
The meeting is also expected to decide about maintaining the telephone lines of the 'Red Telephone Exchange' of the public telecommunications company.
A proposal for closing the BTCL-run 'Telegraph Workshops' is scheduled to be produced at the meeting and the board of BTCL directors are likely to approve the proposal.
The BTCL directors' board meeting will discuss about evacuating the illegal occupants in some of the company's property throughout the country.
