Com. V. A. N. Namboodiri, Advisor has met Ms. Annie Moreas, Member (Finance), DOT on today, the 8th July, 2015 and discussed the issue of 78.2% IDA merger to BSNL pensioners. The Member (Finance) has stated that the Cabinet Note sent to the four nodal departments, viz , Expenditure, Law, Pension and Public Enterprises is not received back after which only it could be presented to the cabinet for final approval.

It is almost one month that the cabinet note was sent to the nodal departments and it is imperative to pursue with these departments too for early clearance. CHQ is closely watching the developments and will be contacting the nodal departments as the time for normal procedural delay is already over.

This clearly vindicates our decision to go ahead with the two days hunger fast before the CCA offices across the country on 21-22, July, 2015.
