Once, India was the world champion in men's hockey. It has won gold medal 8 times in the Olympics. But, for the last 41 years, India has not won any medal in the Olympics. It was in 1980, that India won gold medal last time in hockey. But, this time, Indian hockey team has put in excellent performance in the Tokyo Olympics. Yesterday, India defeated the powerful German team and won the Bronze medal. This is a great come back for the Indian Hockey team. Let us hope that, India will regain it's past glory in the next Olympics.
Recently, the Deutsche Bank has suggested that, the Vodafone Idea should be merged with BSNL. Following this, more voices have started coming, in favour of the merger of Vodafone Idea with BSNL. It is important to note that, Vodafone Idea is having a huge debt of $30 billion (Rs.2,25,000 crore). In the January to April Quarter of 2021, Vodafone Idea’s loss is Rs.3,022 crore. Above all, customers are leaving Vodafone Idea massively. In two months alone, i.e., November & December, 2019, 4 core customers left Vodafone Idea. This trend is continuing and lakhs of customers are leaving Vodafone Idea every month. Today, Kumarmangalam Birla has resigned from the Chairman post of Vodafone Idea. Under these circumstances the merger of Vodafone Idea with BSNL will be suicidal for BSNL.

डीपीई-DPE ने 01-10-2020 से बढ़ी हुई आईडीए-IDA दरों को सूचित किया ।
भारत सरकार द्वारा सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र के उपक्रमों के अधिकारियों और कर्मियों पर लगाए गए आईडीए का स्थगन समाप्त हो गया है। इसलिए आईडीए-IDA की बढ़ी हुई दरों का भुगतान सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र के कर्मचारियों को 01.07.2021 से किया जाना चाहिए। हालांकि, डीपीई-DPE ने आईडीए-IDA की दरों को 01.10.2020 से सूचित नहीं किया था । बीएसएनएलईयू-BSNLEU ने 31.07.2021 को डीपीई के सचिव-Secretary, DPE को पत्र लिखकर आईडीए-IDA की बढ़ी हुई दरों को तत्काल अधिसूचित करने की मांग की थी। इन परिस्थितियों में कल डीपीई-DPE ने आईडीए-IDA की बढ़ी हुई दरों को अधिसूचित कर दिया है। इसके अनुसार 01.10.2020 से 5.5 प्रतिशत की वृद्धि हुई है । और 01.01.2021 से 6.3 प्रतिशत और आईडीए-IDA बढ़ा है। हालांकि 01.04.2021 से आईडीए-IDA में 1.2 प्रतिशत की कटौती हुई है । इसके अलावा डीपीई ने 01.07.2021 से देय आईडीए के दर - IDA RATES की घोषणा नही की है ।
बीएसएनएलईयू-BSNLEU ने बीएसएनएल-BSNL के नॉन-एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव-Non-Executive कर्मचारियों को आईडीए-IDA के बकाया भुगतान के लिए कदम उठाने के लिए सीएमडी, बीएसएनएल-CMD, BSNL को पत्र लिखा।
लंबे इंतजार के बाद डीपीई-DPE ने सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र के कर्मचारियों के लिए आईडीए वृद्धि के लिए पत्र जारी किया है, जो 01.10.2020 से बढ़ा है । सभी जानते हैं कि बीएसएनएलयू की ओर से दायर रिट याचिका में माननीय केरल उच्च न्यायालय ने आदेश दिया है कि आईडीए स्थगन बीएसएनएल के नॉन-एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव - Non-Executive कर्मचारियों पर लागू नहीं है। बीएसएनएलईयू द्वारा प्राप्त इस न्यायालय के आदेश के परिणाम स्वरूप बीएसएनएल के नॉन-एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव - Non-Executive कर्मचारियों को आईडीए का बकाया (arrears ) दिनांक 01.10.2020 से मिलेगा। तदनुसार, 5.5% आईडीए वृद्धि के लिए बकाया 01.10.2020 से भुगतान किया जाएगा। 01.01.2021 से आईडीए में 6.3% की बढ़ोतरी हुई है। इस तरह 11.8 प्रतिशत आईडीए के बकाया(arrears) का भुगतान 01.01.2021 से किया जाएगा। चूंकि आईडीए का 01.04.2021 से 1.2% की कमी आई है, आईडीए का 10.6% का भुगतान 01.04.2021 से किया जाएगा। आईडीए के बकाया ( arrears ) का यह भुगतान बीएसएनएलयू की बड़ी उपलब्धि है। आज बीएसएनएलईयू-BSNLEU ने सीएमडी, बीएसएनएल-CMD, BSNL को पत्र लिखकर आईडीए के बकाया भुगतान ( payment of arrears ) के लिए बिना किसी देरी के कदम उठाने का अनुरोध किया है। BSNLEU का सीएचक्यू ( Central Head Quarter ) सभी नॉन-एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव- Non-Executive कर्मचारियों को दिल से बधाई देता है जो बीएसएनएलईयू-BSNLEU के प्रयासों के कारण लाभान्वित होने जा रहे हैं ।
Com.S.Sivakumar,General Secretary of AIBSNLEA, retired on superannuation, after completing 38 years of exemplary and unblemished service. He retired as DGM- Finance in the BSNL Corporate Office. Com.S.Sivakumar has played a key role in strengthening the unity of the AUAB. BSNLEU wishes a very happy, healthy and peaceful retired life to Com.S.Sivakumar.
At the same time, it is disturbing to note that, the BSNL Management has not settled Com.S.Sivakumar's pension. He has been given only provisional pension. This action has been taken by the Management, under the pretext that, a show cause notice has been issued to Com.Sivakumar nearly 3 years ago, for his participation in the three day strike, that has taken place in February, 2019. This vindictive action of the BSNL Management is unwarranted and is highly deplorable. BSNLEU demands that, the Management should take necessary remedial action immediately and should settle the pension of Com.S.Sivakumar, GS, BSNLEU. We are hopeful that the AUAB will take necessary action to vacate this victimisation imposed on Com.S.Sivakumar.
*500 कार्यकर्ता, लेखक, वकील आदि भारत के मुख्य न्यायाधीश को लिखते हैं - पेगासस मुद्दे पर कार्रवाई की मांग की हैं।
पेगासस स्पायवेयर का इस्तेमाल कर कई महत्वपूर्ण राजनेताओं, कार्यकर्ताओं आदि के फोन हैक कर जासूसी की गई है। ज्ञात सूत्रों का कहना है कि पेगासस स्पाइवेयर का इस्तेमाल करते हुए एक फोन को हैक करने का खर्च 1.5 करोड़ रुपये आता है। फिर यह सवाल स्वाभाविक रूप से उठता है कि बड़ी संख्या में व्यक्तियों के फोन पर जासूसी करने के लिए इतना बड़ा धन किसने खर्च किया है। विपक्ष ने सरकार पर पेगासस स्पाइवेयर का इस्तेमाल करके जासूसी करने का आरोप लगाया है, सरकार इस मामले में चुप्पी साधे हुए है। सरकार ने न तो स्वीकार किया है और न ही इनकार किया है, कि उसने पेगासस स्पाइवेयर का इस्तेमाल जासूसी फोन के लिए किया था या नहीं। इन परिस्थितियों में 500 प्रख्यात कार्यकर्ताओं, लेखकों, वकीलों आदि ने भारत के मुख्य न्यायाधीश को पत्र लिखकर पेगासस मुद्दे पर कार्रवाई की मांग की है।
The phones of many important political leaders, activists, etc., have been hacked and spied using the Pegasus spyware. Known sources say that, the cost for hacking one phone, using the Pegasus spyware, comes to Rs.1.5 crore. Then, a question arises naturally, who has spent such a huge money to snoop on the phones of a large number of persons. The opposition has accused the government for the spying, using the Pegasus spyware. On the other hand, the government maintains a silence. It has neither admitted nor denied, that it used the Pegasus spyware to snoop phones. Under these circumstances, 500 eminent activists, writers, lawyers, etc., have written to the Chief Justice of India and have demanded action on the Pegasus issue.

उन्होंने आगे कहा कि आउटसोर्सिंग प्रणाली की कमियों को दूर करने के लिए कदम उठाए जाएंगे। नेताओं ने सीएमडी बीएसएनएल द्वारा दिए गए आंकड़ों को नोट कर बताया है कि उसका सत्यापन किया जाएगा और उसके बाद जवाब दिया जाएगा।
Our intention of making this website updating is not to give any reply to a person, who is mentally sick and who finds sadistic pleasure in spitting even on the faces of the leaders of his own union. Our intention is only to raise certain questions about the role of the Chennai Circle Administration.
(1) In all the Circle and Local councils throughout the country, including in the National Council, it is only the Staff Side Secretary who can submit agenda items for discussion in the Council meetings. This is the Rule. Whether this Rule has become invalid in Chennai Circle?
(2) In Chennai Circle, the NFTE Circle Secretary, due to his ego problem, does not want to submit items to the Staff Side Secretary. Does the Chennai Circle Administration approves his action?
(3) Since the NFTE Circle Secretary did not submit any item to the Staff Side Secretary, the items of BSNLEU alone were sent to the Circle Administration. What is wrong in this?
(4) Without submitting his agenda items to the Staff Side Secretary, what right does the NFTE Circle Secretary have, to demand the holding of the Staff Side meeting? How the Chennai Circle Administration validates this demand?
(5) The agenda items of BSNLEU, submitted by the Staff Side Secretary, have been rejected by the Administration, stating that they did not have the consensus of the Staff Side. We want to know, under which Rule the Chennai Circle Administration has taken such a step?
On 15.05.2021, BSNLEU wrote to the Management, demanding to implement a Medical Insurance Scheme for the willing employees. BSNLEU discussed the matter with the Director (HR) who accepted the demand. Thereafter, Management took quick action and today, the Corporate Office has issued letter, for the implementation of Medical Insurance Scheme for the BSNL employees. The following are the salient features:-
BSNLEU heartily thanks Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, Director (HR) and Shri A.M.Gupta, Sr.GM(Admn.) and other senior officers, for taking quick action on this matter.
Com.Animesh Mitra, President and Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, met shri P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL, on 28.07.2021, and discussed about the problems of the contract workers. Com.Animesh Mitra, who is also the Secretary General of the BSNL CCWF (BSNL Casual Contract Workers Federation), submitted a memorandum on the problems of the contract workers. The views expressed by the President and the GS are also follows:-
The CMD BSNL responded to the views of the leaders by stating that, the various parameters show that the efficiency of landline and broadband services have greatly improved after the outsourcing.
He further stated that, steps would be taken to improve the deficiencies in the outsourcing system. The leaders have noted down the figures given by the CMD BSNL and told that, the same would be verified and thereafter the response of the Union would be given.
