Indifferent attitude of BSNL Management towards staff issues – CHQ conveys strong resentment.

CHQ has expressed serious resentment over the continued indifferent attitude of the BSNL Management in settling long-pending staff issues. Despite repeated representations by circle managements and discussions by union leaders at the Corporate Office, several burning issues remain unresolved. On 16.01.2026, Com. Animesh Mitra, General Secretary, and Com. Ashwin Kumar, AGS, met Shri Rajiv Kumar Kaushik, PGM (SR) and highlighted key grievances, including extension of deputation period under Rule-9, promotion of sports personnel, EPF deduction from the date of appointment, Kashmir Valley Special Allowance, DA payment to casual labourers, budget curtailment and other pending issues. The General Secretary also expressed concern over the non-convening of the National Council meeting since January 2025. After hearing the grievances, the PGM (SR) assured that efforts would be made to convene the National Council or a Formal meeting at the earliest to resolve the pending issues.
