Wow..Its a good news to have an award coming to our country.In the days when there are always news of corruption blinking, PTCL is getting to success path consistently.I reckon that PTCL would soon become number one organization across the nation.Keep it up PTCL.
I would appreciate PTCL performance at all levels from employee to customer satisfaction.By all possible endeavors from employee care to public concern, PTCL has done its job tremendously and now winning award by SAFA is really impressive.In future, it is hoped to see more initiatives by PTCL.
By winning distinction with South Asian Federation of Accountants, PTCL has proved to be a best organization which knows very well to serve with high standards.International recognition attained by PTCL will indeed boost whole organizational structure.
