Corporates Office allots funds to the circles, for the payment of medical bills of retired employees.

BSNLEU has continuously been pressing on the Management to allot funds for the payment of the medical bills of the retired employees. BSNLEU has written many letters on this issue. The Coordination Committee (CoC) has organised many agitations on this issue. Finally, in the meeting held between BSNLEU and the CMD BSNL on 24.12.2021, non-payment of the medical bills of the retired employees was discussed seriously. In that meeting, the CMD BSNL assured that funds would be allotted in the first week of January. Accordingly, the circles have been allotted with funds for the payment of the medical bills of the retired employees. However, this amount is insufficient, since bills are pending from March 2019 onwards. BSNLEU will continue to press on the Management to clear the entire backlog at the earliest.
