Com.Jagat Ram Sharma was the former Organising Secretary of the CHQ. During the Covid-19 pandemic period, he suffered from pancreatitis and became critically ill. He was taken to a hospital in Mohali,  Chandigarh in an unconscious condition and was kept in the ICU for 16 days. Due intimation about his hospitalisation has been given to the Management. After treatment, Com.Jagat Ram Sharma submitted a medical claim of Rs.7,62,430/-. However, even after 4 years, the medical claim of Com.Jagat Ram Sharma is not settled by the Himachal Pradesh circle administration. The CHQ of BSNLEU has written a letter to the Director (Finance) today, demanding early settlement of this medical claim. The General Secretary tried to meet the Director (Finance), but he was in the meeting with the CMD BSNL. The CHQ will try it’s best to settle this genuine case at the earliest. 

साथी  जगत राम शर्मा सीएचक्यू के पूर्व संगठन सचिव थे। कोविड-19 महामारी के दौरान वे पेंक्रियाटाइटिस से पीड़ित हो गए और गंभीर रूप से बीमार हो गए। उन्हें बेहोशी की हालत में मोहाली, चंडीगढ़ के एक अस्पताल में ले जाया गया और 16 दिनों तक आईसीयू में रखा गया। उनके अस्पताल में भर्ती होने की सूचना प्रबंधन को दे दी गई है। इलाज के बाद साथी  जगत राम शर्मा ने 7,62,430/- रुपये का मेडिकल क्लेम पेश किया। हालांकि, 4 साल बाद भी हिमाचल प्रदेश सर्कल प्रशासन द्वारा साथी जगत राम शर्मा के मेडिकल क्लेम का निपटारा नहीं किया गया है। BSNLEU के सीएचक्यू ने आज निदेशक (वित्त) को एक पत्र लिखकर इस मेडिकल क्लेम के जल्द निपटारे की मांग की है। महासचिव ने निदेशक (वित्त) से मिलने की कोशिश की, लेकिन वे सीएमडी बीएसएनएल के साथ बैठक में थे। सीएचक्यू इस वास्तविक मामले को जल्द से जल्द निपटाने की पूरी कोशिश करेगा। 

The Guwahati All India Conference of BSNLEU unanimously decided to collect donation for the All India Agricultural Workers Union. This is to strengthen the class unity of the industrial workers and agricultural workers. This unity alone can protect the interests of the working class, from the onslaughts of the anti-worker policies of the government. In accordance with the decision of the Guwahati All India Conference, various circle unions collected donations from the grass-root level employees and sent it to the CHQ. The amount so collected came to Rs.2,18,767/-. A cheque for this amount is handed today over to Com.B.Venkat, General Secretary, AIAWU, at New Delhi by Com.P.Abhimanyu, General Secretary. Com.T.A. Biju, Office Secretary, accompanied the General Secretary. 

It is going to be three years since the last membership verification was conducted. However, still circle councils are not reconstituted in certain circles. This is a setback for the grievance redressal mechanism for BSNL employees. Com.P.Abhimanyu, General Secretary, raised this issue seriously with Ms. Anita Johri, PGM(SR) today. He demanded that, the Corporate Office should take immediate action to reconstitute the circle councils in whichever circle it is not reconstituted. In view of this, circle secretaries are requested to immediately inform the CHQ as to which are the circles where circle council is still not reconstituted.
