BTEU backed out from the hunger strike in the last minute.

BTEU was one of the signatories for the hunger strike organised today. Representatives of BTEU also participated in the discussion held with the Director (HR) on 22.11.2019. At the end of that meeting, the participant unions came to the conclusion that the talks held with the Director (HR) was unproductive and hence decided to go ahead with the hunger strike. However, late yesterday (Sunday), BTEU wrote to the CMD BSNL, expressing it’s satisfaction over the steps taken by the BSNL Management, and withdrawing from the hunger strike. Com.R.C.Pandey, GS, BTEU, told Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, that BTEU had withdrawn from the hunger strike, because of the direction given by the “higher-ups”.
