BSNLEU and the AUAB have demanded 5G technology for BSNL - struggle is organised on this demand - ignore mischievous propaganda.

In the budget submitted in the Parliament on 01.02.2022, the Finance Minister announced that 5G service will be launched in the country, in this year, by the private telecom companies. Once again BSNL is discriminated and it is going to lag behind in the 5G technology also. In this backdrop, some miscreants have started propagating that, BSNLEU and the AUAB did not demand that, BSNL should be provided with 5G technology. This is totally a mischievous propaganda. The demand of BSNLEU and the AUAB is that, BSNL should immediately launch 4G service and it should be ensured timely launching of 5G service. All are aware that the AUAB organised a massive 3 day dharna at Jantar Mantar on 21^st, 22^nd and 23^rd September, 2021. The first and foremost demand in this struggle is as follows:-

(1)  Immediate launching of BSNL’s 4G service, by way of upgradation of the BTSs and also steps for moving towards the launching of 5G service. 

The notice issued to the Secretary, Telecom and the CMD BSNL, for organizing this 3 day dharna is enclosed herewith. Hence, the propaganda that BSNLEU and the AUAB did not demand 5G technology is totally false and mischievous. It is being made with the ulterior motive of weakening the trade union movement and it’s struggles.
