27.03.2018: Successfully
organised "Lunch Hour demonstrations" today against operationalization of the Subsidiary Tower Company:
AIBSNLEA extend sincere gratitude and thanks all the
comrades who actively participated in the Lunch Hour
demonstrations through out the country and implemented it
successfully. During Lunch Hour the representatives of
Unions and Associations of BSNL along with their members
reached in front of Sanchar Bhawan, Ashoka Road, New Delhi
and organized very effective demonstration. Huge police and
Rapid Action Force personnel were enforced by DoT
Administration to contain the demonstrators. Delhi Police
locked the doors of BSNL Corporate Office and did not
allowed BSNL employees to come out from the Bharat Sanchar
Bhawan during lunch hours so that they do not participate in
lunch hour demonstration at Sanchar Bhawan. Police
threatened all the leaders to arrest in case they go at
Sanchar Bhawan and demonstrate since Section 144 of Cr PC
was imposed in the vicinity of Sanchar Bhawan.
Despite of all these threats the
leaders along with their members succeed in reaching to
Sanchar Bhawan and hold effective demonstration in the
presence of huge police and RAF personnel. After some time
police force took all the demonstrators in police custody
and detained them in Parliament Police Station for two
hours. After necessary police formalities against the
leaders i.e. Com. Prahlad Rai, Com. G.L. Jogi, Com. C. SIngh,
Com. Abhimanyu and Com. Suresh Kumar they released all the
demonstrators at about 14.30 hrs.
In this way a history has been created
by organizing demonstration in front of Sanchar Bhawan for
the first time after the formation of BSNL. We congratulate
all the participants. AIBSNLEA CHQ Office Bearers, Circle
Secretaries stationed at New Delhi along with their office
bearers and members very actively participated in the
demonstration at Sanchar Bhawan.
At 15.00 Hrs all the Central leaders of All Unions and
Associations of BSNL hold a meeting and congratulated the
BSNBL employees for their active participation in the
demonstration. Further, decisions were taken to continuously
protest against the arbitrary decision of Government for
formation of BSNL's Tower Subsidiary Company. Future course
of agitation programs are decided as under:
1.One day Dharana
on 12.04.2018 at BSNL Corporate Office, Circle and SSA Head
Quarters to protest against the Government decision in
making BSNL's Tower Subsidiary operational.

Indefinite Strike will be organized.
All the Circle / District Secretaries are requested to hold
joint meetings along with their counter parts to implement
the above agitational program in a successful manner.
AIBSNLEA consistent efforts yielded results in getting
released the result of DR JAOs Examination held on 5th
& 6th November 2017. AIBSNLEA congratulates all
the new entrants in BSNL family. It is important to mention
that some Associations vehemently opposed the recruitment of
JAOs in BSNL to weaken the strength of Finance Wing in BSNL.
The Merit List has been prepared on the basis of Circle-wise
merit position, as per the choice of Circle opted during
registration by the provisionally selected candidates and as
per the category-wise (OC, OBC, SC, ST & PWD) for the net

27.03.2018: GS
writes to:
Smt. Sujata Ray,
Director (HR), BSNL Board regarding
our concerns on the
Injustice and
discrimination towards AIBSNLEA members particularly of the
Finance Wing by the Circle administration of Maharashtra
Circle.
The All
Unions and Associations of BSNL has given call to conduct
lunch hour demonstrations tomorrow the 27.03.2018, against
the decision of the government to form BSNL's Subsidiary
Tower Company, and also against the decision of the DoT, to
appoint Shri Amit Yadav, IAS, as the CMD of the Subsidiary
Tower Company. Circle and district secretaries are requested
to make maximum mobilisations, in coordination with the
other constituents of AUAB, and make the programme
successful. Memorandum should also be submitted to the Chief
General Managers and the State Governors.
The All Unions and Associations of
BSNL is organising a powerful lunch hour demonstration in
front of the Sanchar Bhawan today.
As per the Cabinet decision,
Subsidiary Tower Company will come under the control of the
Board of Directors of BSNL. As such, the CMD of the
Subsidiary Tower Company should be appointed only by the
BSNL's Board of Directors. However, the DoT, in a
high-handed manner, has appointed an IAS officer as the CMD
of the Subsidiary Tower Company, without even informing the
Board of Directors of BSNL. This it self clearly shows that,
the Subsidiary Tower Company will not come under the control
of BSNL. The whole game plan of the government is, to snatch
the entire mobile towers of BSNL, in the guise of forming a
separate tower company. Hence, opposing the formation of the
Subsidiary Tower Company, and also opposing the high-handed
action of the DoT, of appointing an IAS officer as the CMD
of the Subsidiary Tower Company, the AUAB will be organising
a powerful lunch hour demonstration in front of the Sanchar
Bhawan today.

"the absorption of TES Group-B
