CHQ has written a letter to Shri.J.S.Deepak, Secretary, Department of Telecom demanding alternate arrangement for pension disbursement to the BSNL and DoT pensioners as the banks and post offices continue to be crowded with unending long queues consequent on the demonetisation of currency notes of Rs.1000 and 500. General Secretary, Com.K.G.jayaraj tried to meet the Secretary, DoT on 18-11-2016 but was not available and his Private Secretary received the letter and promised to hand over to the Secretary on 21-11-2016.

Thereafter General Secretary met Shri. Prahlad Singh, Member (Finance) and discussed the issue after handing over the copy of the letter. He was sympathetic and agreed to the ordeal and distress the pensioners have to face to draw their pension from both banks and post offices in the present situation. He stated that he would explore the possibility of some alternate arrangements to mitigate the hardships of the pensioners. <<view letter>>
