12.10.2017 Update on BSNL Board meeting held on 12.10.2017

BSNL Board Meeting held today as per the schedule wherein the implementation of 3^rd PRC report in BSNL was one of the agenda item. It is understood that 3^rd PRC report was discussed for one hour. Addl. Secretary (T), DoT, the Govt. nominee in the Board however, did not agree to discuss the agenda since sufficient time is not given to study the agenda.

So the matter is postponed to be discussed in the next Board meeting scheduled to be held after Diwali tentatively 23^rd or 24^th October 2017. It seems that Addl. Secretary (T), DoT, the Govt. nominee in the Board is not in the favour of implementation of 3^rd PRC report in BSNL.

In view of that all the BSNL Unions and Associations should mobilize the organization action programs to impress upon the Govt. for 3^rd PRC implementation in BSNL. All the Circle Secretaries / District Secretaries are requested to ensure 100% participation in the proposed agitation programmes of All Union & Associations of BSNL.
