Unlocking BSNL's Gold Mine - General Secretary and Deputy General Secretary meet the Chief General Manager (BW)..

The DoT, as well as the Hon’ble Minister of State for Communications, are telling that BSNL is running in huge loss, and it will not be able to pay salaries to the employees, in the revised pay scales, with 15% fitment. We have to understand that the DoT cites the poor financial condition of BSNL, only to deny 3rd Pay Revision to the employees. Honestly speaking, the government is not willing to take any step, for the improvement of BSNL’s financial position, as well as it’s revival. A clear example is that the government does not want to allot 4G spectrum to BSNL, which will play a major role in improving BSNL’s financial condition. Not only that. The Government is not also allowing BSNL to utilise, what is called as BSNL’s Gold Mine. Yes, BSNL is having vast areas of lands in the prime parts of all the cities and towns. The value of these lands comes to Rs.1 lakh crores. BSNL can easily earn at least Rs.10,000 crore revenue per year, if these lands are monetised. However, the DoT is not approving this monetisation. BSNL has already written to the Secretary, Telecom, on 29.10.2018, seeking approval for it’s Land Management Policy. If this policy is approved, BSNL can generate huge revenues from it’s landed properties. But so far, the DoT has not given it’s approval for BSNL’s Land Management Policy. Com.P. Abhimanyu, GS and Com.Swapan Chakraborty, Dy.GS, met Shri Abhai Kumar, CGM(BW) and Shri D.K. Singal, GM(LD) today and discussed at length about this issue. BSNLEU’s representatives assured them that all out efforts will be taken to unlock BSNL’s Gold Mine.

"The country is in danger. Divisive politics is dangerous for the country", says Saamana.

An editorial in Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The Shiv Sena on Tuesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging that such “brutal politics” was never seen before in the country.
      An editorial in Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ further alleged that the BJP wanted to see “Hindu-Muslim riots” over the Citizenship Amendment Act, but that did not happen. Since the BJP has been cornered over the issue of CAA, several things are happening out of “revenge”, it said. Comparing the attack on Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students to the 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes, the Shiv Sena said “divisive politics” was dangerous for the country.
     “The fallout of JNU attack is being seen elsewhere in the country...what Modi and Shah want is happening. The country is in danger. Divisive politics is dangerous for the country,” the Uddhav Thackeray-led party said.
      “Allowing blood stains in universities, colleges and beating up of students and indulging in politics over the burning situation...such brutal politics was never seen before,” the Marathi publication said while terming the attack on JNU students as a “blot” on the law and order situation.

Criminal Adesh Kumar Gupta, ITS, arrested by CBI.

The CBI has arrested the notorious and corrupt ITS officer Adesh Kumar Gupta, along with two other officers in a bribery case. Adesh Kumar Gupta, who is working as the PGM, Faridabad, Haryana, has been arrested with two other officers, Kamal Mewani, AGM and Shankar Verma, JTO. It may be recollected that Adesh Kumar Gupta is the person, who was involved in the murder of Com. Sukendar Pal Singh, the former BSNLEU district secretary of Ghaziabad. In the present case, the CBI has registered a case under section 120-B of IPC and Section 7 of PC Act, 1988, on a complaint received from a contractor. It was alleged that the contractor was awarded work related to provisioning of new broadband connections/maintenance of broadband services by the Office of the PGM, BSNL, Faridabad. On completion of the work, the contractor has submitted 32 bills, totalling Rs. 7,99,877 for the said work during the period November, 2017 to January, 2018. Adesh Kumar Gupta has demanded Rs 51,000 through the AGM, for passing the bills. It is noteworthy that on an earlier occasion also, Adesh Kumar Gupta, was arrested on corruption charges, when he was GM, Noida. However, he managed to become the the PGM of nearby Faridabad. This only shows the influence he enjoys with the “ higher-ups”.

DoT virtually rejects the key demands - now there is no other option, but to go on strike.

In the meeting held between the AUAB and the Secretary, Telecom, on 02.11.2018, it was informed that, the DoT would raise certain queries from BSNL. Further it was also assured that the DoT would finalise the Cabinet Note on the 3rd pay revision issue, on receipt of reply from BSNL. Now it is learnt that the DoT has written letter to BSNL, raising certain queries. It is also learnt that, in that letter, the DoT has virtually rejected the demands for 3rd pay revision, allotment of 4G spectrum to BSNL and payment of pension contribution on actual basic pay.

 

The DoT has not taken any action for the last 8 months, to implement the assurances given by the Hon’ble MoS(C). Now, they have virtually rejected all the important demands. Hence, CHQ would like to inform the circle and district unions that now we are left with no other option, but to go on strike, including an indefinite one. Circle and district unions are requested to give vide publicity to the employees on this development, and take all out efforts to mobilise the employees for strike action.

Why BSNLEU opposes VRS.

The IIM-Ahmedabad has recommended VRS and rolling back of the retirement age from 60 to 58, as a measure for the financial revival of BSNL. BSNLEU opposes VRS and has informed the Management that VRS will not bring the desired result of revival of BSNL. However, some organisations welcome VRS. Especially, the Directly Recruited Employees believe that, VRS will help to turn BSNL into a financially healthy organisation. We have written an article in the April issue of the Tele Crusader, explaining why we oppose VRS..

Deepika Padukone expresses solidarity with the affected JNU students.

 

Deepika Padukone visited the JNU at around 7. 30 pm yesterday and expressed her solidarity with the students and teachers who were brutally attacked by the masked goons last Sunday. She stood with the students for around 15 minutes, to express her solidarity, though she did not address the gathering. The fact that, Deepika Padukone, one of India's topmost actors, has visited JNU and has expressed her silent protest against the barbaric attack on the students, has sent the right message to the nation.
