Petrol and Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has stated in Parliament on 31-07-2017 that the subsidy for the cooking gas will be completely eliminated by March, 2018. Accordingly the subsidy will be reduced by Rs. 4 every month, till the entire subsidy is eliminated. LPG subsidy has already been reduced. This will seriously and adversely affect the common people and increase the profit of the oil companies, especially Reliance.
Of course, government is for the corporates!

One third of BSNL’s lands valued at Rs.65,000 crore.
The book value of BSNL’s landed properties are pegged at Rs.975 crore. However, the recent valuation of BSNL’s landed properties reveal that, the value of one third of BSNL’s landed properties alone come to Rs.65,000 crore. These one third landed properties are located in the major cities of the country. The land at New Delhi in which the Corporate Office is located alone is valued at Rs.2,500 crore. This valuation was done as per the new “Indian Accounting Standard”, for which the consultant KPMG was engaged by BSNL. This information was disclosed to the PTI by shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL.

Privatisation of PSUs means handing over these large tracts of land of the PSUs to the private corporates for real estate purposes. According to the government, the entire BSNL’s assets are worth only Rs. 975 crores and the selling price will be with this calculation. The corporates will reap huge profit. And this is the way of allowing the corporates to loot the PSUs, the wealth of the country.
But one thing. The united force of the BSNL workers will fight to the last against any privatisation of BSNL! The government could not implement disinvestment in BSNL so far, they could not implement VRS and unbundling of copper cables. If the workers stand united, it will be not easy for the government to implement their anti-national designs.
AT LAST THE SOLDIERS ALSO COMPELLED TO CONDEMN THE ATTACK ON DALITS AND MUSLIMS.
Military veterans write to the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, condemning attacks on Muslims and Dalits.
More than 100 officers, who had retired from the Army, Air-force and Navy have written a letter to Narendra Modi, Prime Minister, condemning the attacks on Dalits and Muslims, in the name of protecting cows. In the letter they have stated that, they were witness to unprecedented attacks on society at large by the relentless vigilantism of self appointed protectors of Hinduism. Muslims and Dalits have been the worst hit by cow vigilantism, they have stated. The letter has also expressed concern over the climate of fear and suppression of dissent. It is very significant that more than 100 retired officers of the armed forces, who may be belonging to different religions, have raised their voice against the killings that are taking place in the name of “cow vigilantism”.

Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions
Department of Personnel & Training
North Block, New DelhiDated 27th July, 2017
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Availability of option for fixation of pay on promotion from the Date of NextIncrement (DNI) in the lower post and method of fixation of pay from DNI, ifopted for, in context of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016-regarding.
Prior to implementation of 6th CPC Report, the pay fixation on promotion was governed by provisions of FR 22(I)(a)(1). In 6th CPC context, the first part of FR 22(I)(a)(1) was replaced by Rule 13 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008. Similarly, consequent upon implementation of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 in 7th CPC context, the pay fixation on promotion is regulated by the provisions of Rule 13 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016. This rule regulates pay fixation on promotion if the same is opted by the employee from the date of promotion itself. The issue of relevancy of provisions of FR 22(I)(a)(1) as well as the methodology of fixation of pay on promotion to a post carrying duties and responsibilities of greater importance, of a Government Servant in case he opts for pay fixation from the Date of Next Increment (DNI) has been considered in this Department.
2. In this context, proviso under FR 22(I)(a)(1) inter-alia provides that the Government Servant (other than those appointed on deputation basis to ex-cadre post or on ad-hoc basis or on direct recruitment basis) shall have the option, to be exercised within one month from the date of promotion, to have the pay fixed under this rule from the date of such promotion or to have the pay fixed from the date of accrual of next increment in the scale of the pay in lower grade.
3. After due consideration in this matter, the President is pleased to decide as follows:
(i) FR 22(I)(a)(1) holds good with regard to availability of option clause for pay fixation, to a Government Servant holding a post, other than a tenure post, in a substantive or temporary or officiating capacity, who is promoted or appointed in a substantive, temporary or officiating capacity, as the case may be, subject to the fulfilment of the eligibility conditions as prescribed in the relevant Recruitment Rules,to another post carrying duties or responsibilities of greater importance than those attaching to the post held by him/her. Such Government Servant may opt to have his/her pay fixed from the Date of his/her Next Increment (either 1st July or 1st January, as the case may be) accruing in the Level of the post from which he/she is promoted, except in cases of appointment on deputation basis to an ex-cadre post or on direct recruitment basis or appointment/promotion on ad-hoc basis.
(ii) In case, consequent upon his/her promotion, the Government Servant opts to his/her pay fixed from the date of his/her next increment (either 1st July or 1st January, as the case may be) in the Level of the post from which Government Servant is promoted, then, from the date of promotion till his/her DNI, the Government Servant shall be placed at the next higher cell in the level of the post to which he/she is promoted.
(iii) Subsequently, on DNI in the level of the post to which Government Servant is promoted, his//her Pay will be re-fixed and two increments (one accrued on accoun tof annual increment and the second accrued on account of promotion) may be granted in the Level from which the Government Servant is promoted and he/she shall be placed, at a Cell equal to the figure so arrived, in the Level of the post to which he/she is promoted; and if no such Cell is available in the Level to which he/she is promoted, he/she shall be placed at the next higher Cell in that Level.
(iv) In such cases where Government Servant opts to have his/her pay fixed from the date of his/her next increment in the Level of the post from which he/she is promoted, the next increment as well as Date of Next Increment (DNI) will be regulated accordingly.
4. It is further reiterated that in order to enable the officials to exercise the option within the time limit prescribed, the option clause for pay fixation on promotion with effect from date of promotion/DNI shall invariably be incorporated in the promotion/appointment order so that there are no cases of delay in exercising the options due to administrative lapse.
5. In so far as their application to the employees belonging to the Indian Audit and Accounts Department is concerned, these orders issue in consultation with the Comptroller &Auditor General of India.

ONE DAY STRIKE ON 27-07-2017 A RESOUNDING SUCCESS- AIBDPA STAGES POWERFUL DEMONSTRATIONS IN SOLIDARITY.
The one day strike called by unions and associations is a resounding success all over the country. The strike became imperative due to the negative approach of the Department of Telecom and the central government in waiving the affordability condition of the 3rd PRC in respect of BSNL to ensure the pay revision. The executives and non executives whole heartily responded to the strike call, even though, some of the unions dis-associated with the strike. The success of the strike is clear warning to the government and the DoT for early action in the matter and avoid further stronger agitations.
AS PER THE CALL OF AIBDPA CHQ, PENSIONERS JOINED THE STRIKING WORKERS IN LARGE NUMBERS AND HELD POWERFUL DEMONSTRATIONS IN ALMOST ALL PLACES IN COMPLETE SUPPORT OF THE STRIKE. CHQ HEARTILY CONGRATULATES ALL THE EXECUTIVES AND NON- EXECUTIVES FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE HISTORICAL STRIKE &THE PENSIONERS FOR THE SOLIDARITY ACTION.
The Press Release issued by the Unions and Associations in BSNL is reproduced below;
UNIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS OF BSNL
Press release 27th July, 2017
Successful one day strike in BSNL. The one day strike today, called on by the unions and associations of BSNL, is near total. The officers and workers of BSNL have massively responded to the strike call. The strike is taking place, demanding wage revision from 01.01.2017, pension revision, superannuation benefits to the Directly Recruited employees and to stop the attacks on trade union rights in BSNL. The success of the strike is beyond expectations in almost all circles. The photos received from various circles show that, most of the customer care centres, administrative offices, and telephone exchanges wear a deserted look. The officers and workers have also conducted huge demonstrations throughout the country, highlighting their demands. In all places, the strike is peaceful, without any untoward incident. However, the Trinamool goons have attacked the union leaders in Kolkata. Nearly 400 striking employees, have been taken in to custody by the police in Guwahati. The unions and associations severely condemn these incidents. They heartily congratulate the officers and workers for making today’s strike a grand success. The government and the BSNL Management are demanded to immediately to discuss the issues with the unions and associations, and to resolve them without delay. It is also warned that, any reluctance on the part of the government and the BSNL Management in this regard, will only force the unions and associations to give call for more serious forms of struggles, including indefinite strike
