BSNL pensiopners are suffering a lot due to non-payment of medical allowance and reimbursement of medical bills for years together. AIBDPA has conducted several agitations by itself and jointly with NCCPA, Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers and Coordination Committee of BSNLEU, AIBDPA and BSNLCCWF. CHQ continuously pursued with the BSNL management and recently Rs.60 cr was allotted by Corporate Office to the circles. However, CGM office West Bengal failed to make payment to any pensioner and when asked by the AIBDPA Circle Secretary, they even refused to divulge any information on the fund allocation to the Circle and the details of its distribution. So the Circle Branch rightly called for Protest Dharna at District level on 05-05-2022 and was carried out with good participation.
