Decision of the Forum meeting held on 10.12.2015.
Comrade,
A meeting of the Forum was held on 10.12.2015, in BSNL MS office. Com. Chandeswar Singh, President, Forum, presided over the meeting. Com. P. Abhimanyu, Convener, welcomed all and explained briefly on the agenda items. The following decisions are taken unanimously.
(1) The meeting paid homage to com. Deivasigamani, Telecom Mechanic, Chennai, and to all other victims killed in the unprecedented floods at Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu.
(2) The meeting whole heartedly appreciated the Management, officers and employees of Chennai Telephones, for maintaining the services during the floods. The service rendered by BSNL has drawn all round appreciation from the public. The meeting called upon the entire employees of Chennai to take all out efforts to rectify the faults that have been created by the floods, so that the good will created can be sustained.
(3) During the Chennai floods, only BSNL provided service to the public as well as for the relief and rescue operations. All the private operators shutdown their services. Even the Chennai airport was able to restore it’s operations only with the help of BSNL’s service. Under these circumstances, the meeting of the Forum decided to write to the Prime Minister, demanding that BSNL’s landline and mobile connections, leased and data circuits should be availed by all the Central and State Government departments and by the PSUs. Further, BSNL should also be allowed to install it’s BTSs in government office buildings, airports etc.
(4) The meeting decided to suggest to the BSNL Management to deduct from the salary of the willing employees, one day’s basic pay, towards relief to the flood affected employees of Chennai and some other parts of Tamil Nadu circle. However, the meeting strongly felt that the amount so deducted should be utilised by BSNL itself to give relief to the affected employees. This will be further discussed with the BSNL Management.
(5) The meeting decided to call on the Executives and Non-Executives of BSNL to observe a 100 days drive, which will be called “SERVICE WITH A SMILE”, starting from 1st January, 2016. The objectives of the 100 days programme will be as follows:-
a) Vigorous marketing of mobile, landline and broadband connections.
b) Ensure fault free service.
c) Reconnection of broadband and landline connections.
d) Special focus on Enterprise Business, Leased line, CUG and 3G customers.
e) Special focus on MNP
(6) The meeting expressed it’s extreme unhappiness over the inordinate delay in the settlement of 78.2% IDA merger to the BSNL retirees. The issue is lingering on for a very long time. Hence, the meeting decided to call on the employees to conduct a protest demonstration, by wearing black badges on 22.12.2015, demanding immediate settlement of the issue. The meeting also decided that letter should be written to the Prime Minister and Minister of Communications and IT, demanding to settle the issue immediately.
(7) The meeting also decided to write to the CMD BSNL, demanding that allowances should be immediately revised based on 78.2% IDA merger.
All the constituents of the Forum are requested to extend their fullest cooperation for the implementation of the decisions.
Thanking you
Yours fraternally
