'Many others have displayed their discipline and dedication in their duty consistently at this time of transformation,' he says.
The reward of BD 100, announced by the Executive Vice Presidents of the department concerned as a token of appreciation, recognising the individual's commitment and involvement. The honoured employees included people from several departments _ operations, network, marketing and sales, finance and administration.
