The Parliament March on 12th March called for by AIBDPA demanding Pension Revision for BSNL Pensioners w.e.f. 01-01-2017 has been deferred due to the tense and complicated situation in Delhi. AIBDPA calls upon all our units to organize massive demonstrations on the same date in front of the District / Circle authorities. Maximum participation is to be ensured. 

Those districts/circles that have not yet met the M.P.s in their area are requested to meet them urgently and present the memorandum as directed earlier and send the report and photo to CHQ so that the same can be posted in the website. 

K.G.Jayaraj,

General Secretary

It is informed that the March to Parliament on 12th March 2020 called by AIBDPA on the demand of Pension Revision for BSNL pensioners w.e.f.  01-01-2017 has been deferred due to the abnormal situation in Delhi and the country due to the Corona Virus attack.  The decision has been taken in consultation with available office bearers and circle secretaries. 

All the circles have taken great initiative to bring hundreds of comrades to Delhi and all arrangements have been made including reservation of accommodation etc. But since the situation is tense and complicated, the CHQ is compelled to defer the programme, for which comrades all over India have taken great pains to make it a success. Though the March is deferred for the present, all are requested to continue with other programmes like with meeting the M.P.s , signature campaign etc. 

Future programmes will be decided later.
