Today is January, the beginning of a new year—2026. As we step into this new year, we remember 2025 with all its memories, struggles, and important incidents that shaped our journey. The New Year gives us renewed hope and determination to achieve new goals in our lives, and especially for BSNL. In the coming year, we shall intensify our struggles to strengthen BSNL and firmly protect the interests of BSNL employees. Let us further strengthen the united struggles of the working class against the anti–working-class and pro-corporate policies of the central government. Unity, solidarity, and collective action will remain our strength. With confidence and commitment, let us move forward together. Happy New Year 2026!

Against the indifferent attitude of the BSNL Management towards obtaining Board approval for the Wage Agreement and settlement of Chennai & Tamil Nadu Circle issues, the General Secretaries of the unions and associations have issued a notification to the Management announcing a countrywide agitational programme. It is more than three months since the Wage Agreement has been awaiting approval, but the BSNL Board has not accorded its approval till date. Despite several rounds of discussions held by the unions and associations with the Management, no concrete progress has been made. Further, no action has been initiated to resolve the long-pending issues of the Tamil Nadu and Chennai Circles. In view of this continued inaction, the General Secretaries and representatives of the unions and associations, in their meeting held on 18th December, 2025, unanimously decided to organise an agitational programme on 08th January, 2026. On that day, lunch hour demonstration programmes will be organised by the unions and associations, covering both Executive and Non-Executive cadres, in all Circles and Districts across the country. All Circle and District Secretaries are requested to discuss this matter with the leaders of other unions and associations at their respective levels and ensure maximum mobilisation of members to make the lunch hour demonstration on 08th January, 2026 a grand success.
