The revised cabinet note sent to the Minister for Communications on 2nd June, 2015 by the DOT has been approved by the Minister and returned to the DOT . As we had reported in this website on 25th May, 2015 the cabinet note was finalised and sent to the Minister. Actually, things started moving with the desired pace only after the meeting Com. V. A. N. Namboodiri, Advisor, AIBDPA  had with the Communications Minister on 13th May, 2015  which was supplemented by our agitational programs as decided by the Jamnagar Central Executive Committee Meeting. The first phase of the agitation, the postcard campaign was a spectacular success and about 40,000 post cards were sent to the Prime Minister and we whole heartedly congratulate all the pensioners for their participation. It was only after the historic Sanchar Bhawan March on 20th November, 2014, the DOT started preparation of the cabinet note.

Today, the 9th June,2015 Com. V. A. N. Namboodiri has met Ms. Annie Moreas, Member (Finance) DOT who confirmed that the cabinet note has been received back from the Communications Minister with necessary approval. Now on further persual of  Com.V.A. N. Namboodiri the Member(Finanace) immediately forwarded the file to the Member(Services) for sending it to the 4 nodal departments simaltaneously. After this process is completed, on getting the nod from the nodal departments, the file will go to the cabinet for final approval.

Com.K.G.Jayaraj, General Secretary also had a detailed talk with Shri. Prachish Khanna, Director (Establishment), DOT on 9th June, 2015 who narrated the developments and promised further early action at his level.

So comrades, with the sustained struggles by AIBDPA, Forum and BSNLEU and timely interventions at every stage, the battle is half won. Let us not rest until the order is issued and there should not be any complacency in organising the two days hunger strike on 21-22, July, 2015.
