General Secretary writes to DDG (Estt.) DoT to issue clarificatory order for enhancing the minimum pension/family pension from Rs.3500/- to Rs.3880/-.
The proposal of DoT to levy one time auction determined price for all spectrum they currently hold, from the existing operators has been modified into a liberalized regime after stiff opposition from the finance ministry armed with the backing of Prime Minister along with the Planning Commission. As per the original non liberalized regime proposal, the operators would be able to offer only 2G service as they do now. But the modified liberalized regime ensures the operators to use the spectrum for any, service – 2G, 3G or 4G.

It was the Supreme Court that cancelled the licences of 122 telecom companies and directed the Central Government to follow the auction route for allocation of all the natural resources.
