Do not believe dramas.

On 06.11.2018, the DoT has written a letter to the CMD BSNL, wherein virtually the important demands of BSNL employees, viz., 3rd Pay Revision, allotment of 4G spectrum and payment of pension contribution on actual basic pay, have been rejected. The AUAB leaders took this to the notice of the Director (HR) in the meeting held on 13.11.2018, and expressed their severe protest. Consequent to this, the issue was taken to the notice of the Secretary, Telecom, by the Director (HR). It is reported that, on the next day, the Secretary, Telecom, summoned the concerned officer under whose signature this letter was issued, and questioned him how such a letter was issued without the knowledge of the Secretary, Telecom. So far as we are concerned, these are all drama, and we are not prepared to believe these stories. It is the same Secretary, Telecom, who kept sitting on the assurances given by the Hon’ble MoS(C) for eight long months, without taking any action to implement those assurances. Hence, hereafter we are not prepared to believe stories. We want only action. Only indefinite strike of the entire 1.85 lakh BSNL employees is going to make the people sitting in the Sanchar Bhawan to take meaningful action. Hence, do not believe stories and make fullest preparation to make the indefinite strike successful.
