Serious complaints are coming regarding the style of the functioning of the Sports Cell of the BSNL Corporate Office. Fair play is being denied and there is total lack of transparency in the functioning of the Sports Cell. For example, applications were called for, for the selection of coaches one year back. But, the eligible list is not announced yet. In the meanwhile, persons handpicked by the Sports Cell are being deputed as coaches, by passing the NIS accredited coaches. BSNLEU has written a letter to the PGM( Admin), BSNL CO on this matter today. We hope that, necessary action would be taken.

BSNLEU is repeatedly knocking the doors of the BSNL Corporate Office in the matter of formation of Local Councils at the OA level. Certain circles continue to violate the Corporate Office instructions on the matter. Recently, it has been brought to the notice of the CHQ that, Local Councils are not formed at all in Maharashtra and Gujarat circles. Hence, BSNLEU has once again written letter to the PGM(SR) today, requesting to ensure early formation of the Local Councils in these circles. 

As per the call of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) the International Action Day is observed by BSNLEU, throughout the country, yesterday the 3^rd October, 2024. This is the Foundation Day of the WFTU also. Even though, the CHQ has given call to organise International Action Day programme only in 8 cities, the programme has been observed in more number of places. The CHQ heartily congratulates all the circle and district unions which have organised the programme.

The CHQ is saddened to know that, Shri R.Chakkaraiappan, father of Com.S. Chellappa, AGS, has passed away at Coimbatore, today morning. He was 92 years old and has been under treatment in a hospital. The CHQ conveys it’s heartfelt condolences to Com.S. Chellappa, AGS and his family members.
