In keeping with the Tower and Infrastructure Suppliers Affiliation (TAIPA) — which represents firms like Indus Towers, ATC and Sterlite Technologies — there are about 45,000 frontline employees within the phase who’ve performed an important position throughout the pandemic in supporting round the clock digital connectivity throughout the nation.
In a letter to Telecom Secretary Anshu Prakash, TAIPA Director Normal T R Dua mentioned that the frontline workforce of telecom infrastructure suppliers continues to offer companies regularly regardless of grave dangers posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Therefore, it’s important that they’re categorised below the frontline employees class in order that they’re given precedence for administering the COVID-19 prevention vaccine,” Dua mentioned within the letter.
