The undue delay in settlement of the pre-2007 pension revision cases is unacceptable. It was after sustained struggle and that too with two strikes in April and December 2000 by the BSNL workers as per the call of the JAC that the long pending issues could be settled. The government issued the orders in March 2011. It was mentioned in the order itself that all the payments should be cleared by September at the latest. But still only about 50% of the cases are settled in most of the circles. In some circles, even it is not settled. This undue delay is inhuman as the senior comrades are waiting endlessly for getting the payment.
The Management and the DOT has got the responsiblity to ensure that all payments are made urgently, failing which another struggle will start.
