Hindi translation of "Demands of the AUAB, regarding BSNL's launching of 4G service."

 

BSNL की 4G सेवाएं शुरू करने के संबंध में AUAB की मांगें.

AUAB की 05.12.2020 को सम्पन्न मीटिंग में BSNL की 4G सेवाएं शुरू करने के संबंध में कुछ मांगों को अंतिम रूप दिया गया है।, यह AUAB के परिपत्र क्र. 15 द्वारा प्रसारित की गई है। इस संबंध में हमारे साथियों द्वारा कुछ स्पष्टीकरण चाहे गए हैं। अतः, BSNL की 4G सेवाएं शुरू करने के संबंध में निम्न स्पष्टीकरण दिया जा रहा है। 

मांग क्र.1:
DoT ने निर्णय लिया है कि BSNL अपने कोर 4G इक्विपमेंट्स केवल भारतीय उत्पादकों से ही खरीदे। जैसा कि सभी जानते हैं, भारतीय उत्पादकों की 4G टेक्नोलॉजी अभी तक परखी नही गई है और अपने आपको साबित भी नही कर पाई है। अतः, AUAB द्वारा मांग की जा रही है कि सरकार BSNL को भी निजी दूरसंचार कंपनियों की तरह बहुराष्ट्रीय कंपनियों से उपकरण खरीदी की अनुमति प्रदान करे।  

मांग क्र.2:
BSNL  के पास 49,300, 2G और 3G BTS हैं, जिन्हें , 4G BTS में अपग्रेड किया जा सकता है। इनमें से, 13,300 BTS नोकिया से और  36,000  BTS  ZTE से खरीदे गए हैं।

सरकार द्वारा चीनी कंपनियों से उपकरण खरीदी प्रतिबंधित की जा चुकी है। लेकिन इसके साथ ही, ZTE जैसी चीनी कंपनी से खरीदे गए उपकरण अभी भी BSNL के नेटवर्क में काम कर रहे हैं और साथ ही निजी कंपनियों में भी। सरकार ने इन उपकरणों को हटाने का निर्णय भी नही लिया है। 

इन परिस्थितियों के चलते, AUAB ने यह मांग करने का निर्णय लिया है कि सरकार द्वारा,  BSNL को ZTE से खरीदे गए 36,000 2G और 3G BTS को 4G BTS में अपग्रेड करने की अनुमति दी जाए।

मांग क्र.3:
फेज 8.4 एक्सपांशन के लिए जारी किए गए टेंडर के जरिए BSNL द्वारा नोकिया से उपकरण खरीदे जा चुके हैं। उक्त टेंडर में नोकिया L1 बोलीदाता (bidder) था। टेंडर की शर्तों के अनुसार, BSNL इस टेंडर के माध्यम से अतिरिक्त उपकरण भी खरीद सकता है।

अब, AUAB का मानना है कि सरकार उपकरणों की अतिरिक्त आपूर्ति के लिए, नोकिया से "एड ऑन पर्चेसिंग ऑर्डर" हेतु अनुमति दें। इसके लिए BSNL को सरकार से अनुमति लेना जरूरी है, क्योंकि DoT द्वारा यह स्टैंड लिया जा चुका है कि BSNL द्वारा अपने 4G के लिए आवश्यक कोर इक्विपमेंट्स केवल भारतीय निर्माताओं से ही खरीदे जाए।

AUAB द्वारा प्रधानमंत्री और संचार मंत्री को पत्र प्रेषित किया जा रहा है। CHQ, सर्किल और डिस्ट्रिक्ट यूनियन्स से अनुरोध करता है कि हमारे साथियों को उपर्युक्त मांगों के बारे में समझाएं।

Airtel Chairman says 5G will become a norm in the next 2-3 years in India.

Speaking in the India Mobile Congress Sunil Mittal Bharti, Airtel Chairman, has contradicted the timeline stated by Mukesh Ambani, for 5G launching. Sunil Mittal has stated that 5G will become a norm in India in the next 2 to 3 years. While Mukesh Ambani stated that Jio’s 5G would be launched with Indian technology, Sunil Mittal has contradicted it, by saying that India will receive the standards and ecosystem developed by the world.

Demands of the AUAB, regarding BSNL's launching of 4G service.

In the AUAB meeting held on 05.12.2020, certain demands are finalised regarding BSNL’s 4G launching. The same is communicated through AUAB’s circular no.15. In this regard, certain clarifications have been sought by our comrades. Hence, the following clarification is given regarding BSNL’s 4G launching.


Demand No.1

The DoT has decided that BSNL should procure it’s core 4G equipments only from Indian manufacturers. As everybody knows, the 4G technology of Indian manufactures is still untested and unproven. Hence, the AUAB is demanding that, the government   should permit BSNL also to procure equipments from multinational companies, as is being done by private telecom companies.

 

Demand No.2

BSNL is having 49,300 2G and 3G BTSs, which can be upgraded to 4G BTSs. Out of these, 13,300 BTSs are purchased from Nokia and 36,000  BTSs are purchased from ZTE.

 

Government has already banned purchasing of equipments from Chinese companies. At the same time, the equipments already purchased from Chinese companies like ZTE, continue to function in the networks of BSNL and also in the networks of private companies. Government has not decided to remove those equipments.  

 

Under these circumstances, the AUAB has decided to demand that, government should permit BSNL to upgrade the 36,000 2G and 3G BTSs purchased from ZTE, into 4G BTSs.

 

Demand No.3

Through the tender floated for phase of equipments for the 8.4 expansion, BSNL has already procured equipments from Nokia. Nokia was the L1 bidder in that tender. As per the tender conditions, BSNL can purchase additional equipments also, through this tender.

 

Now, AUAB wants the government to permit BSNL to make additional procurement of equipments, by placing Ad on purchasing order with Nokia. For this, BSNL has to get the approval of the government, because the DoT has already taken a stand that BSNL should procure it's 4G core equipments only from Indian manufactures. 

 

CHQ requests the circle and district unions, to make our comrades understand about the above mentioned demands.

AUAB meeting held, in the midst of disturbing developments..

The launching of BSNL’s 4G service is getting further delayed, due to the complications being created by the government. As a result, BSNL has started sinking further. The BSNL Management and the Government have started operationalising the Subsidiary Tower Company. Due to the total mismanagement of the Company, like massive retrenchment of contract workers and mindless outsourcing of works, the landline and broadband services are menacingly affected. Under these circumstances, the AUAB held it’s meeting online on 05.12.2020. The discussions and the decisions taken in the meeting, are contained in the attached circular of the AUAB. Circle and district secretaries are requested to take this circular up to the grass-root level, by translating wherever it is necessary.

Modi government is handing over the keys to thieves.

It is a matter of great concern that Lakshmi Vilas Bank, a 94 year old Tamil Nadu based private sector bank, has collapsed. For 90 years, this bank had been making profits. However, in the last 4 years, it went into a big crisis. The reason is the big loans taken by corporates like Jet Airways, Reliance Housing Finance, Nirav Modi Group, Cox and Kings, Religare, etc. These loans were not repaid. The government also did not take steps to these sharks to repay the loans. As a result, the Lakshmi Vilas Bank collapsed. This is a clear case of corporates looting people’s money. When this being the case, the Modi government has taken a decision to allow the corporates themselves to start banks. This is nothing but handing over the keys to the thieves.

Caste-based names of localities will be changed – announces Maharashtra government.

The Maharashtra State Cabinet has taken the decision to change the caste-based names of localities in Maharashtra. Names of localities like Brahman-wada, Mahar-wada, Bouddh-wada, etc., will now be changed. This is really a progressive step, being taken by the Maharashtra government. BSNLEU welcomes the decision and appreciates the Maharashtra government.

Talks with government - kisans leaders refuse to accept tea, lunch offered by government..

The fourth round of talks between the agitating farmers’ representatives and three Union Ministers were held in the Vigyan Bhawan at New Delhi, yesterday. The representatives of the farmers refused to take even tea during the meeting. Further, when lunch break came, the farmers’ representatives refused to accept the lunch offered by the Ministers. Rather, they told that they had brought their own lunch and ate their rotis in meeting venue itself.  Certainly, the farmers representatives have set an example for all of us.
