I have come to attend the Circle Conference of BSNLEU Kerala Circle at Kannur. It has always been a pleasure to participate in the Circle Conferences of Kerala, not only because it is my home circle but also the disciplined way in which it is organised. The confeence is being attended by more than 1000 comrades including delegates and visitors. There are only 11 SSAs ince the circle being a small one geographically.
The Conference was inaugurated by Com. A.K.Padmanabhan, President CITU on 12th October. In addition to the delegate session, there is a seminar on the relevance of BSNL in the present context, a Women’s convention, Open session, procession etc. In the open session and the seminar about 30 fraternal delegates from the various service organisations greeted the conference showing the close connection of BSNLEU with these organisations. The afiliates of JAC also addressed. All of them very much appreciated the role taken by the JAC. Com.P.Abhimanyu, General Secretary BSNLEU gave a clear picture of the organisational and general issues. I spoke about the tasks to restore BSNL to its past glory.
Kannur, the northern SSA of Kerala has shown by its increase in MNP as also the increased connection and development, that despite the wrong policy decisions of the government, improvement could be made if the workers and the management jointly make efforts. All appreciated Kannur SSA for the excellent development. My congratulations to Kannur Comrades!
The Conference will continue on 13th and 14. October.
