Corporate Office letter on abolition of landline connections and alternative arrangement to employees and pensioners.

BSNL Management has taken the policy decision to close down the copper cable based landline connections. BSNLEU is continuously insisting upon the Management that fibre based landline connections should be provided to the employees and the pensioners. BSNLEU has also opposed the Management’s proposal to provide mobile SIM Cards to the employees and pensioners alternatively. Under these circumstances, the Management has issued order for providing FTTH connections to the officials. (Rs.249/- for rural and Rs.299/- for urban). However, for the retired employees, Management has decided to issue SIM and Rs.2,000/- for purchasing Fixed Wireless Phone. BSNLEU will further take up the issue with Management in consultation with the CEC members.
