Severe damage to human lives has been caused in the hilly states of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir and West Bengal, since the starting of monsoon rains in June, 2025. 28 people have been killed in North West Bengal due to heavy rains and landslides two days ago. Yesterday, 18 people were killed in Himachal Pradesh, when a bus got trapped in landslide. Similarly, many people have died in the states of Uttarakhand, J&K, Assam, etc. BSNLEU conveys it’s heartfelt condolences for the death of innocent lives, caused due to the natural calamity.

The enthusiastic lunch hour demonstration program organised by AUAB across the country on October 6, 2025, has compelled the BSNL Management to call a negotiation meeting at Corporate Office. The protest was in solidarity with Chennai and Tamil Nadu circles, where the administration's actions were contested. Despite AUAB's efforts to resolve the issue amicably since July 2025, the Management showed indifference. However, the united stance of Executives and Non-Executives during the demonstration forced the Corporate Office to arrange a meeting with AUAB leadership. The meeting, chaired by Director (HR) Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, resulted in the Management assuring needful action on the issues raised. A written commitment was also provided to the leadership, who warned that any violation would lead to intensified struggle. The AUAB's collective action has achieved a significant outcome, demonstrating the power of unity in advocating for employees' rights.

The Recognition period of both BSNLEU and NFTE are expiring on 16.10.2025. Hence, thousands of Non-Executives, who are suffering from the acute problem of stagnation, are expecting for an early settlement of the Wage Revision. The Wage Revision Agreement could have been signed in the meeting held on 17.09.2025 or on 26.09.2025. However, BSNLEU’s two JE nominees in the Wage Revision Committee, played negative role and hence agreement could not be signed. In the name of modifying NE-9 pay scale, they refused to sign the agreement. Finally, they requested to arrange a meeting with the CMD BSNL before the next meeting to be held on 08.10.2025. But, before the meeting with the CMD BSNL could be held, Com.Suresh Kumar, GS, SNATTA, circulated a WhatsApp message on 28.09.2025. In that message he has raised objection not only on the NE-9 pay scale, but on the entire Wage Revision Agreement. Hence, BSNLEU gave a letter to him, requesting to clarify whether the JE comrades in the Wage Revision Committee would sign the Wage Revision Agreement at least in the next meeting to be held on 08.10.2025. But, Com.Suresh Kumar, GS, SNATTA, did not give a positive reply. If the Wage Revision Agreement is not signed on 08.10.2025, the entire Non-Executive employees would face an irreparable loss. Hence, BSNLEU was compelled to replace it’s two JE nominees in the Wage Revision Committee. Had Com.Suresh Kumar, GS, SNATTA, given a positive reply, BSNLEU would not have been compelled to replace the JE comrades from the Wage Revision Committee. Only the irresponsibility and immaturity of the two JE comrades have led to such an undesirable situation. However, now, the SNATTA leadership has started maligning BSNLEU as anti-JE cadre. Hence, it has become the duty of BSNLEU to explain to all the employees what has happened in the Wage Revision Committee. A note on this issue, issued by BSNLEU, is enclosed for the information of all the comrades.
