'MTNL not to be privatised'

NEW DELHI, MAY 26. The Government today announced that the telecom policy would be revamped soon to give better service to consumers and said no to privatisation of profit-making MTNL and BSNL even as the new Telecom and IT Minister, Dayanidhi Maran, outlined a 10-point agenda to make India a global IT power.

``No. MTNL is off, I repeat, off the privatisation list,'' Mr. Dayanidhi Maran said, adding that even BSNL would not be privatised.
