CHQ is saddened to report the sad demise of Smt.Devi, wife of late Com.N.P.Padmanabhan, veteran leader of the P&T Trade union movement and former Secretary of NFPTE at early morning on 12-05-2018 at Ernakulam. She is survived by two daughters and one son.
AIBDPA conveys heartfelt condolences to the family and the comrades.
The DoT has issued a letter on 27th April, 2018, to the CMD BSNL, on the wage revision of Non-Executives of BSNL. The crux of this letter is that, BSNL Management could take steps for wage settlement of the Non-Executives in BSNL, through negotiations. Certainly, this is a welcome development. At the same time, we wish to state that all hurdles for wage revision are not removed. For instance, the DPE, even in it’s recent letter dated 18th April, 2018, has categorically mentioned that BSNL does not fall under the category of PSUs which are eligible for wage revision. It is also stated in that letter that, Cabinet approval is required for BSNL’s wage revision. In the talks held between the AUAB and the Hon’ble Minister of State for Communications on 24.02.2018, it has been agreed by the Hon’ble Minister that the issue of BSNL’s wage revision would be taken for the approval of the Cabinet. Presently, the DoT is taking steps for the implementation of the Hon’ble Minister’s assurance. Under these circumstances, the DoT has issued clearance to the BSNL to start negotiations for the wage revision of the Non-Executives. BSNLEU will utilise this letter for the commencement of negotiations for wage revision between the Recognised Unions and Management.

As per the data released by the TRAI, BSNL is far ahead of Airtel, Vodafone and Idea, as far as the customer growth rate is concerned. In 2017, Airtel has added 24.26 million new mobile customers, and it’s growth rate is 9.13%. Vodafone has added 7.84 million new customers and it’s growth rate is 3.83%. Idea cellular has added 5.98 million new customers and it’s growth rate is 3.14%. Whereas, BSNL has added 11.13 million new customers and it’s growth rate is 11.50%. Reliance Jio has added 87.93 million new customers and it’s growth rate is a stunning 121.86%. It is a matter of pride for all of us that BSNL’s growth rate is far ahead of Airtel, Vodafone and Idea cellular. When all the private telecom companies are wilting under the pressure of Jio, it is only BSNL, which is putting up stiff challenge to it. Let us put in our entire energy to bring BSNL out of loss and make it India’s number one telecom company. CHQ requests all our functionaries to give maximum publicity to this news among the public, through our ongoing Street Corner Meetings.
