An important development has taken place regarding the Wage Agreement for Non-Executive employees. Yesterday (12.02.2026), Com. Animesh Mitra, General Secretary, BSNLEU, spoke with Shri Rajeev Kaushik, PGM (SR), who officially confirmed that the BSNL Board has approved the Wage Agreement of the Non-Executive Unions. This marks a positive step forward in our long and determined struggle. However, this is not the final stage. The next step is to obtain approval from the DoT and the Government. Only after their concurrence will the agreement be formally implemented. Now, we need to intensify our efforts and continue our united struggle to ensure early approval by the Government. Our unity, determination and sustained pressure alone will secure justice for BSNL employees. This matter will be discussed in detail in the upcoming AUAB meeting, where the future course of action will be decided.
