BSNLEU wrote to the Director (HR) yesterday, demanding the sanctioning of emergency medical advance to the employees for COVID-19 treatment. 

The government has already issued instruction, for the extension of payment of special concessions to the employees of Central Government / PSUs posted in the Kashmir Valley. However, BSNL did not implement this. BSNLEU has repeatedly written letters and took up the issue with the BSNL Management. As a result, the Corporate Office has issued letter today, approving the payment.  

The MoU signed between BSNL Management and LIC Management, for the implementation of Group Term Insurance (GTI) for the Non-Executives is attached herewith. Comrades are requested to go through the MoU to get the full details of the GTI scheme.
