WFTU - TUI Transports & Communications raises it's voice against US aggressions in Venezuela.

It is a well known fact that the US imperialism is taking all out efforts to overthrow the elected government in Venezuela. The US imperialism has already imposed sanctions on Venezuela, to cripple it’s economy. The US has ordered that no country should import oil from Venezuela. Billions of dollars are being pumped into Venezuela, by the US imperialism, to oust Maduro, who is the democratically elected president of Venezuela. The whole game plan of the US imperialism is to topple the elected government of Venezuela, and to install it’s puppet government in that country, so as to loot the huge oil reserves that Venezuela is having. The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) and the Trade Union International (TUI Transports & Communications) have raised their voices against the blatant aggression of the US imperialism on Venezuela. The leaders of the TUI Transports & Communications, belonging to France, Britain, Russia, Turkey, etc., have gone to Venezuela now, to express their solidarity to the people of Venezuela, and against the aggression of US imperialism in that country. BSNLEU heartily congratulates all the leaders of the TUI Transports & Communications, who are participating in this programme and shares their spirit of solidarity with Venezuela.

Long live the elected government of Venezuela !

Down with aggressions of US imperialism !!

Hindi translation of "Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad once again takes over as the Minister of Communications."

 

श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद एक बार पुनः संचार मंत्री बने...
श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद, एक प्रतिष्ठित अधिवक्ता और मंजे हुए राजनेता, ने एक बार पुनः माननीय संचार मंत्री के रूप में पदभार ग्रहण किया है। श्री मनोज सिन्हा के पदभार ग्रहण करने तक, 2014 से संचार का यह पद उनके पास पूर्व में भी था। श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद, कॉल ड्राप के मुद्दे पर निजी कंपनियों को आड़े हाथों लेने का साहस प्रदर्शित करने वाले प्रथम संचार मंत्री थे। सत्ताधारी बीजेपी के वरिष्ठ लीडर होने के नाते श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद, अपने निर्णयों का निर्भीकता पूर्वक क्रियान्वयन करने के लिए जाने जाते हैं। हमें उम्मीद है कि माननीय मंत्री महोदय बीएसएनएल के रिवाइवल के प्रकरण में DoT में बैठे नौकरशाहों द्वारा निर्मित अवरोधों को दूर करने में सफल होंगे। BSNLEU, श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद का अभिनंदन करते हुए आश्वासित करती है कि बीएसएनएल के रिवाइवल हेतु वह पूर्णरूपेण सहयोग करेगी।

Hindi translation of "Meeting between the AUAB and the Additional Secretary, Telecom."

AUAB के प्रतिनिधियों और एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी, टेलीकॉम के बीच मीटिंग सम्पन्न...

AUAB के प्रतिनिधियों ने श्री अंशु प्रकाश, एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी से मिल कर समयबद्ध वार्तालाप हेतु गठित कमिटी जिस तरीके से सम्पन्न हुई, उसकी कड़े शब्दों में शिकायत की। साथ ही उन्होंने 03.12.2018 को सम्पन्न मीटिंग में माननीय संचार राज्य मंत्री द्वारा दिए गए आश्वासनों के क्रियान्वयन में किए जा रहे विलंब की भी कड़े लहजे में शिकायत की। तत्पश्चात, AUAB की  एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी के साथ विस्तार से चर्चा हुई। एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी द्वारा दिए गए जवाब निम्नानुसार है।

 

(1) 3rd पे रिवीजन:

कैबिनेट और संबंधित मंत्रालय 15% फिटमेंट के साथ देना स्वीकार नही करेंगे क्योंकि बीएसएनएल की वित्तीय स्थिति इतनी अधिक सैलरी भुगतान की अनुमति नही देती है।  AUAB और बीएसएनएल मैनेजमेंट को स्वीकार्य योग्य प्रस्ताव देना चाहिए। अगले सप्ताह पुनः एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी से मीटिंग होगी।

 

(2) बीएसएनएल के लिए 4G स्पेक्ट्रम:

नीति आयोग और डिपार्टमेंट ऑफ एक्सपेंडिचर (DoE) के बीएसएनएल को 4G स्पेक्ट्रम के आवंटन के संबंध में अपने अलग विचार हैं। फिर भी, बीएसएनएल को 4G स्पेक्ट्रम के आवंटन हेतु फरवरी 2019 के प्रथम सप्ताह में संभावित टेलीकॉम कमीशन की मीटिंग में आवश्यक अनुमति प्राप्त करने के लिए DoT द्वारा पूर्ण प्रयास किए जाएंगे।  


(3) वास्तविक मूल वेतन पर पेंशन कॉन्ट्रिब्यूशन का भुगतान:

डिपार्टमेंट ऑफ एक्सपेंडिचर ने कुछ स्पष्टीकरण चाहें हैं जिसका जवाब बीएसएनएल को प्रस्तुत करना है । बीएसएनएल द्वारा 1-2 दिन में स्पष्टीकरण प्रेषित करने का आश्वासन दिया गया है।  


(4) पेंशन रिवीजन:

इस मुद्दे पर बेहद उपयोगी वार्ता हुई। एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी ने  बीएसएनएल के गठन के समय बीएसएनएल कर्मियों को पेंशन भुगतान से संबंधित जारी किए गए डाक्यूमेंट्स की कॉपीज मांगी है। बीएसएनएल मैनेजमेंट उन्हें डाक्यूमेंट्स शीघ्र उपलब्ध कराएगा।

अगले सप्ताह AUAB और एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी के बीच पुनः मीटिंग होगी।
