The intense pressure put  on the BSNL management for the last two years by BSNLEU/JAC  for procurement of equipments has started bearing fruits. The first instalments of  Clip instruments have already been supplied to the circles. It is the same case with the cables. Purchase order has been issued by the Corporate Office for Broadband Modems. it is the same with the GSM lines. Drop wires are available in the BSNL Telecom Factories as also the Towers. It can be ordered directly by the Circles/SSAs. All these may not be sufficient in full to the requirement, but is a starting point, where there was no supply at all.

This opportunity has to be utilised at the maximum by the workers and the Unions/Associations should give the lead in the matter. First ensure that the Circle/SSA head take delivery of the supply of equipment at the earliest without any delay. If the supply is at circle level, pressure should be put on the SSA management to bring it quickly without any delay. The Work Committee should meet immediately and how the equipments should be utilised  and development should take place on priority should be discussed with the executives and non-executives of the SSA. Motivation to be given to the workers. Maximum co-operation between management and workers. Every week, the progress report should be discussed and any difficulty to be removed. Maximum publicity to tb given in the media/press in this connection.

In all these, the union leaders should take a pivotal role. Any difficulty may be informed to the higher bodies. It is one opportunity to the BSNL to bring back the organisation to its past glory.

The JAC/All India Unions have to continue its pressure on continued supply of the equipments according to the requirement.
