Comrade Mihir Dasgupta, former Asst. General Secretary and President Kolkatta Telephone Circle of BSNLEU retired from service today, 31st May 2011, on superannuation from BSNL. He was one of the top leaders of the BSNLEU and had served at the HQ many times. A good writer and speaker, Com.

Swastika who is also a leader of BSNLEU and District Secretary of one of the big divisions in Kolkatta retired some time back. Comrade Dasgupta belonged to a family committed to Left.
I convey my Greetings and Best Wishes on his retirement. I hope that he will continue to be active in BSNLEU and working class movement.

I convey my heartfelt gratitude to Com. VAN Namboodiri for his rich ovation to me on my retirement. I assure him and all comrades that I shall continue to work for BSNL and its employees, BSNLEU and the working class as a whole in coming days also. Through this, I convey my greetings to all comrades also.
– Mihir Dasgupta
Name of Com Mihir Das Gupta needs no introduction. As a silent worker, but with unique style of analytic quality to show the present position of BSNL and Ups and Downs of Telecomunication Services in the entire country and the impending dangers posing to BSNL, I have no doubt that he has been able to attract the attention of all Tele-crusador Readers. Every month, we therefore await eagerly to receive one copy of Tele-crusador, containing a snippet , contributed by Com Mihir Das Gupta, which used to become a referential information by our activists in their respective public speeches. His last moment gesture to donate Rs 25000.00 for BSNLEU’s building Fund during his retirement, is an unique one, which will inspire lots of BSNL activists through out the country for which I convey him my red salute once. I am aware that his deep love for the union, cannot be measured, with the money that he has donated, though the same amount is definitely a substantial one, which a retiree cannot spare, unless he/she has a deep commitment for advancing the working class movement, for emancipation of mankind from exploitation of men by men. With a hope that Com Mihir Das Gupta will continue to maintain his unique skill of writing to inspire lots of Trade Union Workers, through out the country, I convey my red salute to him once again.
