It has been brought to the notice of BSNLEU that, the Director (HR) has issued letter to the CGM, Tamil Nadu circle, for the handing over of the RGM Training Centre at Chennai to the IIT, Chennai, on Long Term Lease basis. All the unions and associations of Tamil Nadu circle have opposed this. They have also demanded that, instead of handing over the entire training centre to the IIT, Chennai, certain buildings should be retained by BSNL. Based on this demand, BSNLEU has written letter to the CMD BSNL today, requesting to consider the demands of the unions and associations of Tamil Nadu circle.

संयुक्त मंच के निर्णय अनुसार *दिनांक 01.06.2023 को सभी जनपदों में मानव श्रृंखला कार्यक्रम* आयोजित कर वेतन पुन:निरीक्षण, 4G/5G एवं नवीन पदोन्नति नीति के निराकरण की मांग की जा रही है। BSNLEU के सभी सर्कल और जिला यूनियनों से अनुरोध है कि वे संयुक्त मंच के अन्य घटकों के साथ समन्वय करें और मानव श्रृंखला कार्यक्रम को सफलतापूर्वक आयोजित करें। इस कार्यक्रम में पेंशनभोगियों को भी लामबंद किया जा सकता है, क्योंकि अधिकांश पेंशनभोगी संघों ने अपना समर्थन दिया है। इस कार्यक्रम के लिए प्लेकार्ड और फ्लेक्स बैनर की व्यवस्था की जा सकती है। यह ध्यान रखा जाना चाहिए कि यह मानव श्रृंखला कार्यक्रम ऐसे स्थानों पर आयोजित किया जाए जहां आम जनता अधिक संख्या में एकत्रित हो।

As per the decision of the Joint Forum, Human Chain programme is to be organised in all districts on 01.06.2023, demanding settlement of Wage Revision, 4G / 5G and New Promotion Policy. All the circle and district unions of BSNLEU are requested to coordinate with the other constituents of the Joint Forum and to organise the Human Chain programme successfully. Pensioners may also be mobilised in this programme, since most of the Pensioners Associations have extended their support. Placards and flex banners may be arranged for this programme. It must be kept in mind that this Human Chain programme should be organised in places where the general public gather in large numbers.

On 03.03.2023, the Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare has issued a letter, wherein it is stated that all Central Government employees who were declared successful for recruitment before the implementation of the New Pension Scheme, are eligible for old pension. (The DoT has endorsed this letter on 17.04.2023.)

On the same analogy, there are employees in BSNL, who are selected for recruitment against the post / vacancies advertised / notified for recruitment, prior to the formation of BSNL. However, these employees are not issued with Presidential Orders and they are deprived of pension under CCS Pension Rules 1972 (now 2021).

Com.Ashok Kumar, Driver, Saharanpur, UP (West) circle, has approved the CHQ with all related documents to prove that he is recruited against post advertised / notified prior to the formation of BSNL. BSNLEU has written letter to the Secretary, Telecom, today, demanding that this official should be issued with Presidential Order and also made eligible for pension under CCS Pension Rules 1972 (now 2021).

The BSNL & DoT Pensioners Association (India) has extended it’s support to the programmes. In his letter, written to the CMD BSNL, Com.D.D. Mistry, General Secretary, has justified the demands of the Joint Forum and has urged early settlement of the same.
