Allotment of funds to West Bengal circle for payment of contract workers' wages – BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL.

13 months’ wages remain pending, to be paid to the contract workers of West Bengal circle. Out of this, the West Bengal circle administration has demanded Rs,6.20 crore, for payment of only 3 months’ wages to the contract workers in view of the Puja festival. However, the Corporate Office has allotted only Rs.2.38 crore, which is not even 50% of the demanded amount. Hence, BSNLEU has written to the CMD BSNL and the Director (Finance), demanding to allot the full amount, to enable the contract workers to celebrate the Puja festival.
