The JAC was informed several times that Advance Purchase Orders have been issued for telephone instruments, cables, broadband modems, GSM lines etc. and they are on the supply pipeline. But wherever we go on tour, it is the same complaint from our comrades that nothing of these have reached the SSAs. Promises and assurances are for being kept and not for records only. The management should explain what is the delay in supplying the same. This is a crucial time for the BSNL and even a delay of one day in supply of these equipments and instruments will be very costly for the future of the company.

It seems that most of the managements at All India, Circle and SSA levels are not seriously interested in procuring the same. Whenever our field level workers and unions approach the officers demanding for the above, the casual reply is that nothing has been received. When we approach the top-level corporate management, the reply is that every thing has already been done for procurement.

Is it can be called a management which can not even procure the equipments and instruments that is vitally required for the company ? Is it a management which can not ensure implementation of its own decisions? Or is it that the BSNL management is going the disastrous route taken by the Air India management?

But the workers and their unions can not sit idle. Continuous pressure and struggles are required to make the management to work in the interest of the company. Of Course, the major struggle is to change the anti-worker policy of the government which is crippling BSNL.
