Mobile number portability (MNP) has been started very recently throughout the country. Within a short period port out from BSNL is  76,234 where as port in to BSNL only  19672 . A loss of  56,562 . As per report. The worst process are in Punjab , Hariana , Maharastra , Odisha , westbengal and Kolkata .
Unless immediate remedial action is taken, the shifting will have serious repercussion. BSNL management has to act fast, workers also.
