I met Shri R,K,Upadhyay, CMD, BSNL today and discussed about the progress in procuring equipments for the expansion and development,  providing new connections etc. I proposed that a very serious effort should be made by both the management and the workers for further improving the services. CMD completely agreed and intimated that already the advance purchasing order for telephone instruments and cables have  been issued and it is now for the CGMs to place the actual Purchase orders so that the cables, instruments are purchased and utilised for development and expansion. Regarding Broadband Modem, the tender is being finalised. In the case of mobile equipments the technical aspect is almost over and the financial tender will be taken up by next month.

On the one side the pressure on the management at alllevels should be intensified and on the otherside the workers have to aggressively work for better service. We have to change the present critical situation to a winning position.

I also spoke about the non-implementation of the statutory rules, oeders on wages, social security measures etc. to the casual/contract workers. He said that he will do the needful in the matter.
