*इसलिए जिन सर्किलों को 21, 22 और 23 अगस्त को भागीदारी का कोटा आवंटित किया गया था, उन्हें बदलकर पुनः आवंटन किया गया है। तदनुसार, आवंटन निम्नानुसार किया जाता है :

CCA OFFICE, NEW DELHI.
The second phase of the agiational program called by the Joint Forum of BSNL-MTNL Pensioners Associations, Mass Dharna at CCA offices and districts, has been responded massively in all the Circles. The unprecedented and enthusiastic mass participation reflects the anger and anguish against the apathy of the authorities on their legitimate demand of pension revision. They also exhibited their determination to continue the fight to greater level until the genuine demand is acheived.
This time the agitation was organised in Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand despite so many limitations. CHQ heartily congratulate and salute all the leaders of constituent oragainstions, especially AIBDPA, and the participants for making the Mass Dharna on 31-07-2023 a resounding success
