It was a memorable meeting at Goa organised in the evening today, 19th October, under the auspices of the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations. I was on my way to Belgaum to attend the Circle Conference of the BSNL Casual and Contract Workers Federation to be held on 21st October. The meeting was well attended with about 300-350 comrades participating. Coms. M.S.Kaushal, Convener, Forum, A.S.Aga, Dt. Secretary SNEA, Vijay Balgaonkar, Dt.Secretary, BSNLEU and other leaders addressed. I was given a warm welcome by Forum, BSNLEU, BSNLCCWF, BTEU, SNEA and other organisations.
In my speech I touched upon the present financial position of BSNL, the urgent need to improve the situation, the agitation for the finalisation of ITS repatriation, the agitation in this connection and other matters. After the meeting I had some discussions with the DR TTAs, Casual and Contract Workers, Officiating JTOs and other comrades.
It was a hectic day and I fully utilised and enjoyed the same.
