@annaisaac @Nadika heard a heart wrenching story a couple of weeks ago. BSNL permanent staff are getting (delayed) payments. BSNL contract employees aren't in many cases. The permanent employees are sharing some of their salary with their contract employee colleagues to help cope. Everyone is struggling to make ends meet.
