PK Purwar has been given back the additional charge of Chairman and Managing Director of MTNl after Narendra Kumar Yadav reliquished the top post on completion of his tenure.
Purwar, the Director (Finance) of MTNl, had earlier held the additional charge between June 2014 and June 2015.
“Narendra Kumar Yadav has relinquished the charge of CMD of the company w.E.F. June 8, 2016. P K Purwar, Director (Finance), MTNl, has been entrusted with the additional charge of the post of CMD,” MTNl said in a filing to the BSE.
Yadav, a Member (Services) Department of Telecom, had been given the additional charge of CMD on June 8, 2015.
The telecom PSU has been without a full-time CMD since May 30, 2014 when A K Garg retired from the post. Purwar was given additional charge after Garg's retirement.
