All the three private telecom companies have raised their tariffs drastically. While Airtel and Vodafone Idea have raised their tariffs by 20 to 25 per cent, Reliance Jio has raised it’s tariffs by 21 per cent.

Similarly, a tariff plan with 2GB data per day, with validity of 365 days, will increase from Rs.2,599/- to Rs.2,879/-. The Reliance Jio, with it’s predatory pricing, has closed down all other private telecom companies, except Airtel and Vodafone Idea.

जीएमटीडी, लुधियाना-GMTD, Ludhiyana महिला कर्मचारियों की मर्यादा का उल्लंघन कर रहा है - enraging modesty of Women Employees. : कॉर्पोरेट प्रबंधन-Corporate Management मूकदर्शक के रूप में बना हुआ है । सीएचक्यू-CHQ ने सर्कल और जिला यूनियनों -Circle and District Unions को शॉर्ट नोटिस-Short Notice पर आंदोलन-agitation के लिए तैयार रहने के लिए कहा है ।

बीएसएनएल प्रबंधन-BSNL Management का कर्तव्य है कि वह हमारी सम्मानित कंपनी-esteemed Company में कार्यरत प्रत्येक महिला कर्मचारी के सम्मान की रक्षा करे। हालांकि जीएमटीडी लुधियाना लगातार महिला कर्मचारियों की मर्यादा का उल्लंघन करने की गतिविधियों में शामिल हो रहा है। उनकी "कार्यप्रणाली-modus operandi” महिला कर्मचारियों को उनके मौजूदा कार्य स्थानों से कुछ अन्य स्थानों पर स्थानांतरित-transfer करना है। इसके बाद वह महिला कर्मचारियों को अलग से अपने कक्ष में एक बार नहीं बल्कि कई बार बुलाता है और उन्हें प्रभावित करने की कोशिश करता है। इस तरह कई महिला कर्मचारियों को कुछ महीनों के भीतर निशाना बनाया गया है । खासकर वह युवा महिला कर्मचारियों को निशाना बना रहे हैं और उन्हें मानसिक प्रताड़ना-mental torture दे रहे हैं। बीएसएनएलयू-BSNLEU के सीएचक्यू-CHQ को महिला कर्मचारियों की शिकायतें पहले ही मिल गई थीं कि जीएमटीडी लुधियाना-GMTD, Ludhiyana उन्हें परेशान कर रहा है। बीएसएनएलईयू ने उचित कार्रवाई की मांग करते हुए निदेशक (एचआर)-Director(HR) के साथ इस मुद्दे को पहले ही उठा लिया था । हालांकि निगम कार्यालय-Corporate Office मूकदर्शक बनकर रह गया है। निगम कार्यालय गहरी नींद में है। इससे जीएमटीडी लुधियाना का हौसला बढ़ा है और इस तरह वह अपना खेल खेलते रहते हैं। कुछ दिन पहले लुधियाना जिले की प्रभावित महिला कर्मचारियों में से एक ने लुधियाना स्थित यौन उत्पीड़न कमेटी-Sexual Harassment Committee at Ludhiyana को शिकायत दी है। महिला कर्मचारी ने जीएमटीडी लुधियाना के खिलाफ विशेष शिकायत दी है। इसके आधार पर बीएसएनएलईयू ने एक बार फिर निदेशक (एचआर) को पत्र लिखकर तत्काल हस्तक्षेप की मांग की है। बीएसएनएलयू ने निगम प्रबंधन से कहा है कि, यूनियन ने जीएमटीडी, लुधियाना के खिलाफ जल्द कार्रवाई नहीं की गई तो वह आंदोलनात्मक कार्यक्रम आयोजित करने को मजबूर होंगे। बीएसएनएलईयू-BSNLEU महिला कर्मचारियों के सम्मान की रक्षा के लिए हमेशा आगे खड़ा रहा है । अब सीएचक्यू ने देशभर के सभी सर्कल और जिला यूनियनों से आह्वान किया है कि वे शॉर्ट नोटिस पर आंदोलन पर जाने के लिए तैयार रहें, जिससे जीएमटीडी, लुधियाना द्वारा किए जा रहे परेशानियों को रोका जा शके ।

It is the duty of the BSNL Management, to protect the dignity of every woman employee working in our esteemed Company. However, the GMTD, Ludhiana, is continuously involving in activities of outraging the modesty of women employees. His "modus operandi" is to transfer women employees from their existing work places to some other places. Thereafter, he calls the women employees separately to his chamber, not once but many times, and tries to influence them. Many women employees have been thus targeted within a few months. Especially, he is targeting young women employees and is giving mental torture to them. The CHQ of BSNLEU had already received complaints from women employees that the GMTD, Ludhiana, is harassing them. BSNLEU had already taken up this issue with the Director (HR), demanding appropriate action. However, the Corporate Office is remaining as a mute spectator. The Corporate Office is in a deep slumber. This has emboldened the GMTD, Ludhiana and thus, he continues to play his game. A few days ago, one of the affected women employees of Ludhiana district, has given a complaint to the Sexual Harassment Committee at Ludhiana. The woman employee has levelled specific complaint against the GMTD, Ludhiana. Based on this, BSNLEU has once again written to the Director (HR), demanding immediate intervention. BSNLEU has told the Corporate Management that, the Union would be forced to organise agitational programmes, if speedy action is not taken against the GMTD, Ludhiana. BSNLEU has always stood in the forefront to safeguard the dignity of women employees. Now, the CHQ calls upon all the circle and district unions throughout the country, to be ready to go on agitation at short notice, to stop the harassments of the GMTD, Ludhiana.
