Circular No.3/2013 24th June, 2013
To All CHQ Office bearers,Circle Secretaries,Affiliates and District Secretaries.
Dear Comrade,
As you may be aware I have joined CHQ on 14th June, 2013 and shall continue here upto 5th July.
78.2% IDA fixation.
In the wake of the proposed indefinite strike by Forum of BSNL Unions / Associations from 12.06.2013, the DOT issued the Presidential order on 10th June, 2013 granting 78.2% IDA fixation and subsequently BSNL has also issued the order on the same date. It is a great achievement and victory for the unity of all the unions and the determination to fight.
Regarding the pensioners, the order issued covers the post 2007 pensioners and still some clarifications would be necessary. For the pre 2007 pensioners separate order has to be issued. Immediately after reaching New Delhi, General Secretary Com. K.G. Jayaraj and Com. V.A.N. Namboodiri, Advisor had a meeting with the Member (Finance) and Member (Services) of the DOT on 14.06.2013 and have urged them to issue the orders for the pensioners. Both have agreed to do the needful. We have brought to their notice, the acute shortage of staff in all the offices of the CCAs. General Secretary has also written a detailed letter to the Secretary, DOT covering the above issues. BSNLEU and the Forum are also pursuing the issue.
Tele Pensioner.
The printing of Tele Pensioner, April – June issue is delayed due to some unforeseen reasons and hope to dispatch by end of this month.
Agitational Programme.
CHQ congratulates all the units for effectively implementing the decision of the All India Conference held at Kannur on 6th & 7th February, 2013, by submitting Charter of Demands to CGMT/CCA and PGMT/GMT at the respective level and organizing mass demonstration on 15.05.2013. However despite repeated requests, only a few circles and districts have sent the reports.
Organise Dharna on 29.08.2013.
The third phase of agitational programme decided by the AIC on the Charter of Demands is Dharna in August 2013, date of which was decided to be later. Now CHQ has decided to conduct the Dharna at Circle and District levels on 29th August, 2013. All the units are requested to conduct the Dharna successfully mobilizing maximum pensioners and send the reports to CHQ promptly.
Donate Liberally to Uttarakhand Relief Fund.
Torrential rains and flash floods have put the state of Uttarakhand in a most devastating position. Many people lost their lives and so many rendered homeless. Apart from the people of Uttarakhand thousands of pilgrims are also affected. Nearly 800 are dead, 70000 missing and 60000 stranded. The causality may be more considering the slow process of relief operations mainly due to lack of disaster management and bad weather. The relief activities by the government alone will not be sufficient to meet the grim situation. So it is the bounden duty of every citizen to contribute their mite in this hour of distress. CHQ is of the opinion that we being the senior citizens have more responsibility to respond positively to this noble cause and appeal to all to donate liberally, not less than Rs.100/- to the Uttarakhand relief fund. Circle and District Secretaries are requested to make the collection immediately and rush to CHQ by remittance in SBI SB A/c No.31211446886 with prompt intimation of the details for issuing the receipts. The amount received will be handed over to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund or some special Relief Fund that may be constituted for this purpose.
Membership Campaign.
The AIC held at Kannur had taken a decision to organize membership campaign in all the districts and the Circle units to decide suitable period for the same according to local conditions. Tele Pensioner subscription drive was also to be undertaken simultaneously. Circle Secretaries are requested to send a report to CHQ, on the progress made in this regard.
Thanking you,
Yours fraternally,
K G Jayaraj
General Secretary
