Communications ministry decentralises powers

NEW DELHI, Jan 14 (pti) department of telecommunications today decided to decentralise power in a phased manner by delegating authority to circles in procuring 20 items which were earlier procured centrally.

A ministry notification was issued to this effect covering a range of articles including power plants, batteries of small capacities and some line and wire items.
