श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद एक बार पुनः संचार मंत्री बने...
श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद, एक प्रतिष्ठित अधिवक्ता और मंजे हुए राजनेता, ने एक बार पुनः माननीय संचार मंत्री के रूप में पदभार ग्रहण किया है। श्री मनोज सिन्हा के पदभार ग्रहण करने तक, 2014 से संचार का यह पद उनके पास पूर्व में भी था। श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद, कॉल ड्राप के मुद्दे पर निजी कंपनियों को आड़े हाथों लेने का साहस प्रदर्शित करने वाले प्रथम संचार मंत्री थे। सत्ताधारी बीजेपी के वरिष्ठ लीडर होने के नाते श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद, अपने निर्णयों का निर्भीकता पूर्वक क्रियान्वयन करने के लिए जाने जाते हैं। हमें उम्मीद है कि माननीय मंत्री महोदय बीएसएनएल के रिवाइवल के प्रकरण में DoT में बैठे नौकरशाहों द्वारा निर्मित अवरोधों को दूर करने में सफल होंगे। BSNLEU, श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद का अभिनंदन करते हुए आश्वासित करती है कि बीएसएनएल के रिवाइवल हेतु वह पूर्णरूपेण सहयोग करेगी।

AUAB के प्रतिनिधियों और एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी, टेलीकॉम के बीच मीटिंग सम्पन्न...

AUAB के प्रतिनिधियों ने श्री अंशु प्रकाश, एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी से मिल कर समयबद्ध वार्तालाप हेतु गठित कमिटी जिस तरीके से सम्पन्न हुई, उसकी कड़े शब्दों में शिकायत की। साथ ही उन्होंने 03.12.2018 को सम्पन्न मीटिंग में माननीय संचार राज्य मंत्री द्वारा दिए गए आश्वासनों के क्रियान्वयन में किए जा रहे विलंब की भी कड़े लहजे में शिकायत की। तत्पश्चात, AUAB की  एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी के साथ विस्तार से चर्चा हुई। एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी द्वारा दिए गए जवाब निम्नानुसार है।

(1) 3rd पे रिवीजन:

कैबिनेट और संबंधित मंत्रालय 15% फिटमेंट के साथ देना स्वीकार नही करेंगे क्योंकि बीएसएनएल की वित्तीय स्थिति इतनी अधिक सैलरी भुगतान की अनुमति नही देती है।  AUAB और बीएसएनएल मैनेजमेंट को स्वीकार्य योग्य प्रस्ताव देना चाहिए। अगले सप्ताह पुनः एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी से मीटिंग होगी।

(2) बीएसएनएल के लिए 4G स्पेक्ट्रम:

नीति आयोग और डिपार्टमेंट ऑफ एक्सपेंडिचर (DoE) के बीएसएनएल को 4G स्पेक्ट्रम के आवंटन के संबंध में अपने अलग विचार हैं। फिर भी, बीएसएनएल को 4G स्पेक्ट्रम के आवंटन हेतु फरवरी 2019 के प्रथम सप्ताह में संभावित टेलीकॉम कमीशन की मीटिंग में आवश्यक अनुमति प्राप्त करने के लिए DoT द्वारा पूर्ण प्रयास किए जाएंगे।  

(3) वास्तविक मूल वेतन पर पेंशन कॉन्ट्रिब्यूशन का भुगतान:

डिपार्टमेंट ऑफ एक्सपेंडिचर ने कुछ स्पष्टीकरण चाहें हैं जिसका जवाब बीएसएनएल को प्रस्तुत करना है । बीएसएनएल द्वारा 1-2 दिन में स्पष्टीकरण प्रेषित करने का आश्वासन दिया गया है।  

(4) पेंशन रिवीजन:

इस मुद्दे पर बेहद उपयोगी वार्ता हुई। एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी ने  बीएसएनएल के गठन के समय बीएसएनएल कर्मियों को पेंशन भुगतान से संबंधित जारी किए गए डाक्यूमेंट्स की कॉपीज मांगी है। बीएसएनएल मैनेजमेंट उन्हें डाक्यूमेंट्स शीघ्र उपलब्ध कराएगा।

अगले सप्ताह AUAB और एडिशनल सेक्रेटरी के बीच पुनः मीटिंग होगी।

आउटडोर ट्रीटमेंट हेतु  वेतन सीलिंग 23 दिन से कम कर 15 दिन किए जाना... मुख्य श्रम आयुक्त (CLC) द्वारा BSNLEU के पत्र का संज्ञान लिया गया और CMD BSNL को उचित कार्यवाही की सलाह दी गई...
आउटडोर ट्रीटमेंट हेतु  वेतन सीलिंग 23 दिन से कम कर 15 दिन करने हेतु कॉर्पोरेट ऑफिस द्वारा 08.05.2020 को एक पत्र जारी किया गया था। BSNLEU द्वारा त्वरित कार्यवाही करते हुए CMD BSNL को 23 दिन सीलिंग की पुनर्बहाली की मांग करते हुए कड़ा पत्र लिखा गया। इस पत्र की प्रति CLC को भी दी गई थी। इस पर कार्यवाही करते हुए, CLC ने CMD BSNL को ई मेल प्रेषित कर  BSNLEU के पत्र पर यथोचित कार्यवाही करने की सलाह दी है। जाहिर है, आउटडोर ट्रीटमेंट के लिए वेतन सीलिंग कम करने हेतु BSNL मैनेजमेंट द्वारा की गई कार्यवाही CLC को भी उचित नही लगी, विशेष रूप से तब, जब देश कोरोना वायरस से उत्पन्न बीमारी के संकट का सामना कर रहा है।

As per the decision of the All Unions and Associations of BSNL, 5 day Satyagraha and Work According to Rule struggles are to be organised from 30-01-2018, at all levels. Pandals have to be erected for the Satyagraha, and each and employee should be made to participate in the Satyagraha. Comrades should understand that this is not a normal situation.
