An Appeal to All General Secretaries

To,

The General Secretaries,
BSNL / MTNL Pensioners Associations.

Dear Comrades,

At the dawn of 2026, BSNL / MTNL pensioners faced the nefarious attack of linking payment of IDA / DR with the affordability of BSNL / MTNL, which was defeated by the united will of the pensioners.

The 12 All India Associations rose to the occasion and kicked back the foul play of the management.

The order issued by BSNL Corporate Office today curtailing our medical facilities is a new attack on our legitimate rights.

Discontinuation of the without-voucher payment of Rs. 1,000/- per month available to retired BSNL employees and their eligible dependent family members cannot be tolerated.

Further, it is reliably learnt that the management is contemplating stopping payment of indoor treatment bills also.

Hence, we request all All India Associations to converge to a common platform so that we can fight it out jointly as was done in the case of the attempt to freeze IDA / DR.

Expecting a positive response without lapse of time.

Fraternally yours,

R. Muraleedharan Nair
General Secretary, AIBDPA
