    BSNL Chairman and Managing Director PK Purwar had said that the government has taken a policy decision that BBNL is going to be merged with BSNL. This means that all the work of BBNL at all India level is going to be given to BSNL. Purwar said that a provision of about Rs 45,000 crore has been made for BSNL in the budget. Earlier it was Rs 24,000 crore. Earlier there was provision for spectrum only.
