BSNLCCWF has given a call to observe the Call Attention Day on 25th March 2026 to highlight the burning issues faced by casual and contract labourers in BSNL. This programme was announced at the National Convention held in New Delhi on 7th March 2026. A pamphlet has been published for wide circulation among casual and contract labourers in all BAs across the country. All CEC members of BSNLEU are requested to take appropriate action to mobilise our members to actively participate in the Call Attention Day programme organised by BSNLCCWF. Copy of the pamphlet enclosed herewith.

The BSNLEU has expressed strong resentment over the delay in implementing the revised IDA, and has written to the CMD of BSNL demanding immediate payment in the March 2026 salary. The Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) issued the IDA order on 27.02.2026, with effect from 01.01.2026. Subsequently, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) recommended its implementation to BSNL. However, instead of taking prompt action, the Corporate Office unnecessarily referred the file for further clarification, causing widespread dissatisfaction among employees. On 23.03.2026, Com.M. Vijayakumar, President, and Com.Animesh Mitra, General Secretary, met Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director (HR) BSNL and conveyed the strong resentment of the staff side, submitting a letter to the management. During subsequent discussions with PGM (Estt.) and PGM (SR), the management informed that the required clarification has now been received from DoT and will be placed before the higher authorities for necessary action.

On 22^nd March, 2026, the Silver Jubilee Celebration of BSNL Employees Union (BSNLEU) was held with great enthusiasm and pride at the historic Dada Ghosh Bhawan, the CHQ Union Office. The occasion turned into a memorable and historic gathering, witnessing massive participation of comrades from various circles including NTR, UP West, Haryana, Corporate Office, UP East and others.

In his address, he narrated the inspiring journey of BSNLEU since its formation in Visakhapatnam in March 2001, highlighting the struggles, sacrifices and achievements of the organisation over the past 25 years. Com. Animesh Mitra, General Secretary, welcomed the gathering and reflected on the determined and consistent efforts of BSNLEU in safeguarding BSNL and championing the rights and demands of employees. A seminar on the theme “Role of PSUs in the Indian Economy” was a key highlight of the celebration. Senior leader of telecom movement, Com. C. Singh, General Secretary, NFTE BSNL, emphasised the present challenges faced by BSNL and underlined the urgent necessity for united struggles. Com. Animesh Mitra, GS, BSNLEU and Com. Ashwini Kumar, AGS, BSNLEU, delivered insightful speeches on the policies impacting Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).

The speakers highlighted the vital contributions of PSUs such as ONGC, BHEL, State Bank of India and Life Insurance Corporation of India in nation-building and economic growth. They strongly stressed the need to strengthen PSUs, including BSNL, to protect the interests of the country and its people. In the concluding session, union leaders felicitated the office staff, Com.T.A.
