Com.Anand Narayan Singh, JTO, is the District Secretary, BSNLEU, Vadodara District. He is also the All India Vice-President of BSNLEU. He has been vindictively  transferred from Vadodara district to Amreli district, by the Gujarat circle administration. This is in total violation of the Corporate Office orders on immunity from transfers, granted to the District Secretary of the Recognised Union. Undoubtedly, this order was issued only to harass Com. Anand Narayan Singh.  CHQ took up the issue seriously with the Corporate Management. As a result of this, the transfer order of Com.Anand Narayan Singh, has now been cancelled. We heartily thank Shri A.M. Gupta, Sr.GM(SR), Corporate Office, for taking prompt action on this matter.

The newly laid sub-marine Optic Fibre Cable, between Chennai and Port Blair, will be inaugurated by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, on 10^th August, 2020. This cable will provide high speed broadband facility between the Indian main land and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. 

The 2,300 km sub-marine Optic Fibre Cable has been laid at a cost of Rs.1,224 crore. It is funded from the USO Fund. Laying of this sub-marine Optic Fibre Cable is entrusted to BSNL, which has executed the project on time.

This sub-marine Optic Fibre Cable will provide 2 x 200 Gigabits bandwidth between Chennai and Port Blair. It will provide 2 x 100 Gigabits bandwidth within the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.      

Presently, satellite bandwidth is being used to connect the Indian main land and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. This satellite bandwidth is costly. Moreover, the connectivity was poor and frequent disruptions were also there. 

Based on the request of BSNLEU, Andaman & Nicobar circle union, the CHQ of BSNLEU, first raised in the National Council a few years ago, that a sub-marine Optic Fibre Cable should be laid between the Indian mainland and Port Blair. BSNLEU also took up this demand with the Secretary, Telecom. BSNLEU has been consistently pressing the BSNL Management and the DoT on this matter. Now, the longstanding demand of the people Andaman & Nicobar is fulfilled. BSNLEU feels proud that, it has also played a small role in fulfilling this demand. 

Dear Comrades, 

This is an appeal to all the employees of BSNL, to massively participate in and support AUAB's Twitter Campaign, for the immediate launching of BSNL's 4G service and also for BSNL's Revival. 

As per the Revival plan approved by the Union Cabinet, BSNL's 4G service should have been launched by this time. But, unfortunately, due to various reasons best known to BSNL Management and the DoT, BSNL's 4G Launching is getting terribly delayed. The  sufferers due to this delay, are the citizens of India, especially the people in the rural areas, where still the internet services have not reached. 

Furthermore, the delay is adversely affecting the revenue generation of the BSNL. As the employees of the BSNL, this is our bread and butter issue. Hence, we  appeal to you all to massively participate in the Twitter Campaign on 10.08.2020, between 11:00 hrs and 13:00 hrs and to make it a big success.
