There have been large participation every where in the country in the Lunch Hour Demonstration on 21-08-2019, called by AUAB,  in protest against move to approve the proposal for reductin of retirement age from 60 to 58, by the BSNL Board meeting held on 21-08-2019. Though the decision was taken only on 20-08-2019 the workers responded spontaneously and made the programme a grand success.

AIBDPA units also joined in almost all places, though the call was issued late in the night of 20-08-2019 and CHQ congratulates all the comrades for  rising to the occasion.
