The salary for the month of April 2020 for the 70,000 and odd BSNL employees has not been paid even after almost two weeks have passed since the due date. This is gross injustice to the workers, who are completely on duty even in the midst of corona virus, endangering themselves for the sake of connecting India.

It is to be mentioned that when offering VRS for 80 thousand workers, it was stated that the savings due to less amount of total wage bill after VRS will ensure salary payment in time. Three months are over after the implementation of VRS and the saving will come to about Rs. 1000 crore.

BSNL should ensure that the salary of employees are paid update as also the medical reimbursement and allowance to the pensioners as also wages to the contract labour with arrears.
