The discontinuation of Sanchar Aadhaar support from 01.12.2025 has seriously affected BSNL’s revenue across all circles. Due to the non-availability of essential services such as SIM sales, MNP and new activations, many customers are shifting to other operators, creating a situation of grave concern. Today, BSNLEU CHQ has written a letter to the CMD BSNL, urging the Management to take immediate and effective action to restore the Sanchar Aadhaar system without further delay.

मंगलुरु में सीईसी मीटिंग होगी – सीईसी सदस्यों से यात्रा का इंतज़ाम शुरू करने की विनती की गई। 

जैसा कि पिछली ऑनलाइन सीईसी मीटिंग में तय हुआ था, जनवरी 2026 के आखिर में सीईसी मीटिंग बुलाई जाएगी। यह तारीफ़ के काबिल है कि कर्नाटक सर्कल यूनियन ने मंगलुरु में मीटिंग आयोजित करने की ज़िम्मेदारी लेने पर सहमति जताई है। सर्कल यूनियन ने सीएचक्यू को बताया है कि सीईसी मीटिंग 31 जनवरी, 2026 और 01 फरवरी 2026 को मंगलुरु में होगी। सभी सीईसी सदस्यों से विनती है कि वे अपनी यात्रा के लिए ज़रूरी इंतज़ाम उसी हिसाब से करें। अगले हफ़्ते एक अधिसूचना जारी की जाएगी । सीएचक्यू मंगलुरु डिस्ट्रिक्ट यूनियन और कर्नाटक सर्कल यूनियन के साथियों को सीईसी मीटिंग आयोजित करने की ज़िम्मेदारी लेने के लिए दिल से बधाई देता है।

It is unfortunate that BSNL services are being severely affected due to the non-functioning of the Sanchar Aadhaar system, which is essential for issuing new SIM cards as well as replacement SIMs. The system has remained out of order since 01-12-2025. It has been reported that the contract period of the company authorised to operate the Sanchar Aadhaar service has expired and BSNL has not yet renewed the contract. Consequently, the company has withdrawn its services. CHQ has received complaints from various field units, especially from Customer Service Centres in offices and exchanges, that they are presently unable to issue new connections or duplicate SIMs. It is highly regrettable that even after 48 hours, the issue remains unresolved, resulting in revenue loss for the organisation. BSNLEU will take up the matter with the management for immediate intervention.

As decided in the last online CEC meeting, a physical CEC meeting will be convened at the end of January 2026. It is commendable that the Karnataka Circle Union has agreed to take responsibility for hosting the meeting at Mangaluru. The circle union has informed the CHQ that the CEC meeting will be conducted at Mangaluru on 31^st January, 2026 and 01^st February 2026. All CEC members are requested to make the necessary arrangements for their travel accordingly. A formal notification will be issued next week. CHQ extends its warm greetings to the comrades of the Mangaluru district union and the Karnataka Circle union for taking up the responsibility of organising the CEC meeting.
