MUMBAI (Dow Jones)--Arun Sarin, the former chief executive of Vodafone Plc (VOD.LN), may be approached to head the state-run telecommunication firm Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL.YY), the Business Line reported Saturday, citing unnamed government sources. The firm is in discussions with various candidates, including Arun Sarin and a final decision is yet to be taken, the report said.
