The Optic Fibre Cable has been laid down and the Acceptance and Testing has also been completed. Thus, high speed broadband and mobile data connectivity between Andaman & Nicobar Island and the main land of India will become a reality soon.

Due to the mismanagement of the Donald Trump administration, the United States is seriously affected by the Corona Virus infection. So far, 8.26 lakh people are infected with the Corona Virus in that country and 45,300 people are already dead. Further, the US has already lost 2.25 crore jobs. In short, the United States has become the biggest victim of the Corona Virus Disease. However, to hide his mismanagement and inefficiency, Donald Trump is trying to mislead the people of the US and the world. Last week, Trump tried to make the world believe that the Corona Virus was produced in a Chinese laboratory. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) has categorically stated that, all available evidence suggests that the novel corona virus originated in animals in China  and was not manipulated or produced in a laboratory. Trump is very unhappy with the WHO, because it is speaking the truth. He has already stopped all financial assistance to the WHO. The Director General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has become a special target for attack, including racial abuses, by  Donald Trump's camp.

कोरोना वायरस की उत्पत्ति जानवर से हुई है और लैब में नही बना है- कहना है WHO का...

डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प प्रशासन के कुप्रबंध की वजह से यूनाइटेड स्टेट्स कोरोना वायरस संक्रमण से बुरी तरह से प्रभावित है। अभी तक उस देश मे  8.26 लाख लोग कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण से प्रभावित हो चुके हैं और  45,300 लोगों की मृत्यु भी हो चुकी है। साथ ही, US में 2.25 करोड़ नौकरियां भी खत्म हो चुकी है। संक्षेप में यह कि, यूनाइटेड स्टेट्स कोरोना वायरस की बीमारी से बुरी तरह से ग्रसित हो चुका है। किन्तु, डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प अपनी अक्षमता और कुप्रबंधन पर पर्दा डालने के लिए US की जनता और पूरी दुनिया को गुमराह करने के प्रयास में है। विगत सप्ताह, ट्रम्प ने दुनिया को यह विश्वास दिलाने की कोशिश की, कि कोरोना वायरस चीन की लेबोरेटरी में निर्मित किया गया था। किन्तु विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (WHO) ने  दृढ़ता के साथ स्पष्ट किया है कि सभी उपलब्ध प्रमाण दर्शाते हैं कि नावेल कोरोना वायरस की उत्पत्ति चीन में जानवरों से हुई थी और लेबोरेटरी में न तो इसके साथ छेड़छाड़ की गई थी और न ही बनाया गया था। ट्रम्प WHO से बेहद नाराज है, क्योंकि वह सच बोल रहा है। ट्रम्प द्वारा WHO के सभी वित्तीय सहयोग पर रोक लगा दी जा चुकी है। WHO के डायरेक्टर जनरल, टेडरॉस एधानोम घेब्रेइसस (Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus) डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प समर्थकों के खास निशाने पर है, जिसमें नस्लीय हमले भी शामिल हैं।

BSNLEU ने सभी BSNL कर्मियों के लिए एक दिन का वेतन स्वीकृत करने की मांग की...

दूरसंचार एक आवश्यक सेवा होने की वजह से BSNL के कर्मचारी राष्ट्रव्यापी लॉकडाउन लागू किए जाने के बावजूद लोगों को संचार सेवाएं उपलब्ध करा रहे हैं। कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण से अपने बचाव को सुनिश्चित करने के लिए BSNL कर्मचारियों को प्रतिदिन मास्क्स, ग्लव्स, सेनिटाइजर, लिक्विड सोप आदि का उपयोग करना पड़ रहा है। इस हेतु वें अपनी जेब से पैसा खर्च कर रहे हैं। BSNLEU ने उपर्युक्त आइटम्स खरीदने के लिए व्यय की जा रही राशि की पूर्ति हेतु सभी कर्मचारियों को एक दिन का वेतन (Basic Pay +DA) तत्काल स्वीकृत किए जाने की मैनेजमेंट से मांग की है। BSNLEU ने मैनेजमेंट को सूचित किया है कि अन्य पब्लिक सेक्टर उपक्रमों, जैसे भारतीय जीवन बीमा निगम, स्टेट बैंक ऑफ इंडिया और यूनियन बैंक ऑफ इंडिया इस तरह की एकमुश्त ग्रांट स्वीकृत कर चुके हैं।

BSNLEU and BSNL CCWF are continuously pressing the CMD BSNL hard, for releasing funds for the payment of wages of the contract workers. Com. P. Abhimanyu, GS, discussed this matter with Shri P.C. Bhatt, Sr.GM(CBB), Corporate Office, today. The Sr.GM(CBB) informed that the Corporate Office has released funds to the circles today, for the payment of approximately one month’s wages of the contract workers. This fund is allotted to all the circles.

The Narendra Modi government has frozen the DA of the Central Government employees and pensioners for a period of 1 ½ years, under the pretext of managing the crisis that has been created by the Corona Virus. The government will say that, this money will be utilised to help the common man. But, the question is, why the government should grab the money from the pockets of Central Government employees and pensioners? In August, 2019, the Modi government transferred Rs.1.6 lakh crore from the Reserve Bank. Next month itself, out of this money, the government gave concessions to the big corporates to the tune of Rs.1.45 lakh crore, by cutting down the corporate tax. Not only this! From April, 2014 onwards, the Modi government has waived bad loans, to be paid by the big corporates, to the tune of Rs.5.55 lakh crore. This is how the Modi government has facilitated the big corporates to loot Rs.5.55 lakh crore of people’s money. So, when the  government wants to help the big corporates, it will have unlimited resources. But, when the question of helping the common man arises, the government will not have any source and it will grab money from workers' pockets. This is a classic example for the economic policy of Narendra Modi.

CHQ has given call for the collection of donations to the “Contract Workers Relief Fund”. Many circle unions have done a good job in collecting the donations. Collection of these donations is intended to extend immediate relief to the contract workers, who are suffering immensely due to the lock-down, as well as due to the non-payment of wages for many months. Hence, CHQ has already directed all the circle unions to immediately rush food materials to the contract workers, out of the donations collected. All the circle unions which have collected the donations are requested to urgently carry out this task. Report and photos may be sent to the CHQ.
