| MTNL                        | (2971)    | (3398)    | (3811)    |

(c) The  Government  approved  a  revival  plan  for  BSNL  on  23.10.2019.    The  revival  plan, inter-alia includes reduction in employee costs through a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) for the employees of age 50 years and above, administrative allotment of spectrum for 4G services with  funding  through  budgetary  allocation,  debt  restructuring  by  raising  of  sovereign  guarantee bonds,  monetisation  of  assets  to  generate  resources  for  retiring  Debt,  CAPEX  and  other requirements and in-principle approval for merger of BSNL  and MTNL.

These attempts were invariably met with an appropriate response from us.

To address the issues arising from such attempts, the two sides have been   engaged   in   discussions   through   the   established   military   and diplomatic channels. The Senior Commanders from both sides have held nine meetings on 6 June 2020, 22 June 2020, 30 June 2020, 14 July 2020, 2 August 2020, 21 September 2020, 12 October 2020, 6 November 2020 and 24 January 2021.

Both Ministers had a frank and constructive discussion   on   the   developments   in   the   India-China   border   areas  and reached a five point agreement to address the ongoing issues along the LAC.  The two Foreign Ministers agreed that the current situation in the border areas is not in the interest of either side.  They agreed therefore

that the border troops of both sides should continue their dialogue, quickly disengage, maintain proper distance and ease tensions.

## ANSWER

MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, COMMERCE & INDUSTRY AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD & PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

(SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL)

(a)  to  (c)  With  a  view  to  contain  the  spread  of  COVID-19  pandemic, Indian  Railways  discontinued  the  regular  passenger  train  services w.e.f. 23.03.2020 and presently only special trains are being operated keeping in view the concerns and suggestions of State Governments. Owing  to  operational  and  resource  constraints,  introduction  of  train services  on  Thiruvarur-Karaikkudi  sector  is  not  feasible,  at  present. However,  introduction  of  trains  is  an  ongoing  process  on  Indian Railways subject to operational feasibility, traffic pattern, availability of resources, etc.
