It is a matter of great pride for all of us that, BSNL has completed 25 years of glorious service to the nation. It has served the marginalised sections of the people and also to those living in the far-flung regions.  Whenever natural calamities like cyclone and flood ravaged the country, it was only BSNL which provided communication facilities for carrying out relief and rescue operations. BSNL has played the role of the market regulator and has protected the consumers from the merciless lootings of the private operators. It is only because of the existence of the BSNL, that the private operators were not able to raise the tariffs indiscriminately. The anti- BSNL policies of the government have greatly weekend BSNL. But the united struggles consistently organised by the unions and associations, have stopped the government from handing over BSNL to the corporates, through privatisation. BSNLEU has played a pivotal role in this. Till today, BSNL remains as a 100% government company. This is a great achievement of the BSNL trade union movement.  On this occasion of silver jubilee of BSNL, we heartily congratulate all the comrades. Let us all take the pledge to strengthen BSNL for providing good quality service do the people.

The Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India, issued an order for Dearness Allowance revision effective January 1, 2025, in June 2025. Despite this, the Corporate Office has yet to release DA arrears for approximately 3,000 casual labourers, who are eligible for the benefit based on 6th CPC pay scales. The General Secretary of BSNLEU has written to the Director (HR) requesting immediate action to disburse DA arrears with the September 2025 salary. Unfortunately, the Corporate Office Management has consistently shown indifference towards timely DA payments to casual labourers. Prompt action is awaited to address this long-overdue.
