About 150 comrades have already arrived and others will reach by tomorrow, 22nd February and a few on 23rd. Despite strict instruction for limiting the number of delegates alloted by CHQ, some of the circles, out of over enthusiasm, have taken the liberty to send more delegates even without prior consent of the Reception Committee. This has put the Reception Committee to difficulties and they are trying their level best to arrange comfortable accommodation to all.

So let us maintain discipline, discuss the issues seriously , take appropriate decisions and make the 3rd Triennial Conference a great success

Cabinet approves release of an additional instalment of DA to Central Government employees and DR to Pensioners, due from 1.1.2019

Posted On: 19 FEB 2019 9:22PM by PIB Delhi

The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given its approval to the release of an additional instalment of Dearness Allowance (DA) to Central Government employees, and Dearness Relief (DR) to pensioners w.e.f. 1.1.2019 representing an increase of 3% over the existing rate of 9% of the Basic Pay/Pension, to compensate for price rise.

This increase is in accordance with the accepted formula, which is based on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC). The combined impact on the exchequer on account of both DA and DR would be Rs. 9168.12 crore per annum and Rs. 10696.14 crore in the FY 2019-20 (for a period of 14 months from January 2019 to February, 2020).This will benefit about 48.41 lakh Central Government employees and 62.03 lakh pensioners.

Veteran leader of the P&T Trade Union movement of Karnataka, Com. P.Harishchandra Rao has passed away on 18-02-2019 at Mangalore. He has served the movement in many capacities and lastly held the post of District Secretary, AIBDPA, Mangalore.

AIBDPA pays respectful homage to the departed leader and conveys heartfelt  condolences to the bereaved family.

The three days strike against the arrogance of DOT and the government continued more powerfully and vigorously on the second day all over the country.  The workers have shown their determination to fight against the injustice meted out to them and the sinister move of the government to eliminate BSNL. AIBDPA members joined the striking workers and sat on Dharna and demonstrations. The strike will continue for the 3rd day, on 20-02-2019.

The three day strike called by AUAB against violation of assurances given by the Communications Minister on pension revision, wage revision, 4 G spectrum to BSNL and pension contribution on actual pay started today. Reports say the strike is complete in almost all circles except J&K which was exempted. The BSNL workers have given a fitting rebuff to the arrogant attitude of DoT and government and has showed exemplary courage and determination against invoking ESMA to defeat the strike.

AIBDPA, as per the call of CHQ is extending all support to the striking workers and organized solidarity Dharna in many places. A few photos received are given under;
