PREPARE FOR SACRIFICE-FIGHT AGAINST THE INJUSTICE TOWARDS PENSIONERS

Protest Demonstration on 16.04.2026 in front of CCA /BSNL offices

Mass Dharna on 30.04.2026 in front of CCA/BSNL Offices

Comrades,

The protest demonstrations in front of CCA/BSNL offices on 16th April is the trumpet blow of a storming campaign and struggles to ensure the very existence of pensioners.

Almost all the BSNL/MTNL Pensioners’ Associations had come together to kick back the dirty games of the Union Government.

The latest attack on Pensioners is the tricky game of freezing DA/DR.

Payment of DA/DR on increased rates as and when Consumer Price Index increases, is the hard earned right of the employees/ pensioners.

The order of DPE on 27th February 2026, regarding payment of IDA/DR, linking the payment with the profit/loss of the PSU was not surprising. It is part of the roadmap of the Union Government by the enactment of Validation Act 2025 & anti-pensioner TOR of 8th CPC.

The revision of Pension w.e.f 01/01/2017 is denied on flimsy grounds.

The meeting of 12 All India BSNL/MTNL Associations of pensioners held on 03/04/2026, after serious consideration of the situation, decided the following:

Protest Demonstration on 16.04.2026 in front of CCA /BSNL offices.

Mass Dharna on 30.04.2026 in front of CCA/BSNL Offices.

All CHQ office bearers, Circle Secretaries and District Secretaries are requested to meet each and every pensioner, apprise the alarming situation and make the agitations a resounding success.

AIBDPA functionaries may please take immediate initiative to convene the meeting of pensioners’ associations at the Circle/District level wherever it is not done.

Comradely Yours

R Muraleedharan Nair, General Secretary
