Debt-laden Reliance Communications (RCom) Friday said Punit Garg has ceased to be executive director of the company but will continue on the board as non-executive director. "We wish to inform you that Shri Punit Garg...has ceased to be the Executive Director of the Company with effect from April 5, 2019. (He) will continue on the Board of the Company as Non-Executive Director...," RCom said in a regulatory filing.
