BPL Ltd has informed the Bombay Stock Exchange that M Sasi has been appointed as director (finance & corporate planning) of the company (without any remuneration) for a period of two years, with immediate effect.

BPL had submitted that since its establishment had been closed, the workmen, after having accepted compensation, are not entitled to reinstatement or wages.
