The letter criticizes for creating instability in the company with the absence of Managing director. The MD position of Nepal Telecom (Ntc) is vacant from long time after Government sacked Mrs. Kamini Rajbhandari.

Ntc has already moved ahead with the criteria and TOR for the appointment of MD whereas there is no progress now for the MD appointment process so far. So, the union has asked to free the company from any political interference.
