Financial assistance to the families of the Covid victims - Circle Secretaries to kindly note..

In the meeting held on 06.05.2021, between the Unions & Associations and the BSNL Management, decision was taken to provide a financial assistance of Rs.ten lakh, to the families of the BSNL employees who died due to COVID-19. It is reliably learnt that, the Corporate Office is likely to issue order for this, within a day or two. As per our information, around 160 employees have died so far, due to COVID-19. Everyday, nearly 10 BSNL employees are passing away due to COVID-19. Hence, the CHQ requests all the circle secretaries to kindly ensure that, the details of the employees who died due to COVID-19 are immediately passed over to the Corporate Office, by the CGM Office. This will enable the families of the deceased employees to immediately get the financial assistance. BSNLEU highly appreciates Shri P.K Purwar, CMD BSNL, Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, Director(HR), Shri R.K.Goyal, PGM(Pers), Shri A.M.Gupta, Sr.GM(Admn.) and other officers of BSNL Management, for taking action on a 'war-foot' basis, to provide financial help to the families of the Covid victims.
