BSNL, Odisha, Relief work, Utharakahand

The government of Odisha, through its Chief Secretary, has conveyed its appreciation and thanks for the excellent service of BSNL during the Cyclone Phailin and also during the period of rehabilitation. BSNL service helped very much in keeping the government connected with the relief operations.
In the same way, the Utharakhand government had also thanked the BSNL for its excellent service during the massive landslide and floods which took away the lives of hundreds of people.

While the private companies close their services during such natural calamities to avoid loss of towers, equipments etc. BSNL, the government PSU is on the job of maintaining its services for the safety of the people at great risk. We are happy that it is being appreciated by the people and the government.
My Hearty congratulations to the BSNL workers and management!

Govt. hands profitable Airports to private

21 Monday Oct 2013

AAI, airports, PPP

The government is openly coming out without any shame or cover to hand over the profitable airports to the private operators. The Civil Aviation Department has called for bids from private to run eight profitable airports which are now under the Airport Authority of India. These include Kolkata, Chennai, Lucknow, Ahmedabad etc. which are profitable. Further, recently all these airports have been modernised by the AAI with its own funds. Now, they are going to be handed over to private under the PPP scheme.
The most profitable airports, Mumbai and Delhi have already been privatised. The other airports with AAI are mainly small ones and mostly on loss. AAI was maintaining its operations with the profit of the major airports. Now, what will happen to AAI is to be seen.
The employees of AAI have opposed the transfer, but the government is moving fast to complete the deal before the General elections.
Shame on the government for its anti-people and anti-PSU decisions.

Women, the maximum sufferers of Mamata Rule – Brinda Karat.

Attack on women, Brinda Karat, W.B.

The 26th Bengal state conference of the All Indian Democratic Women’s Federation(AIDWA) was held in Krishnanagar, Nadia,rechristened ‘Laxmi Sehgal Nagar’. The town, awash in red, turned out in thousands to attend the public event of the conference. The conference was inaugurated by All India Secretary, Sudha Sundararaman.
Addressing the eager gathering, national women leader & Polit Bureau member, Brinda Karat hailed the heroic resistance of the women of Bengal & Nadia in particular. She was unequivocal in her criticism of the Mamata government’s tyranny & the rise in crime on women. ‘When the state leads the nation in the ‘murder’ of democracy, women bear the brunt. In the massive violence unleashed during the Panchayat elections by the ruling party, women were most affected, be it a candidate, a voter or a political worker. When the whole nation is pushed towards extreme financial distress with rising inflation & growing unemployment on account of anti-people neo-liberal policies pursued by the UPA-2 government, it’s the women who bear the distress & lead the struggle’.
(Courtsey: Ganashakti)

Scathing in her criticism of the growing disclosure of large scale fraud with both the Central & Bengal state governments, she put Modi in perspective. Recalling the ghastly 2002 riots, she reminded the people that thousands of minority women were exposed to organized violence, multiple cases that the Supreme Court is handling now. She exposed the secular duplicity of the CM, Mamata Banerjee who has & continues to hobnob with the BJP. It was PM Vajpayee then, who was hosted by Mamata at her residence, she recalled & stated that it could well be Modi tomorrow.

The double-speak of Corporates

20 Sunday Oct 2013

CBI enquiry, corporates, double speak

The corporates have no mercy on their employees or associates, if the latter cheats or do any minor mistake which results loss or bad name to the company. They are immediately dealt with harshly with no quarters given.
But these same corporates make a loud protest and noise, when they themselves are caught cheating the government and booked. Their claim seems to be that they have got a right to cheat the government, bribe government officials for illegal benefits and that neither the people nor the government law enforcing agencies have a right to expose them or punish them. Such actions are termed as anti-industry and against the interest of business atmosphere.
The government is also acting on the same line. Many ministers have criticised the CBI action against the big corporates. Now where is their oft-repeated slogan that ” Law will take its own course?”. Is it not applicable to the corporates who cheat and violate the law of the country? Stop this double standard!

34 lakh, BSNL, Fancy Number

It is a fantastic news! In Chennai, a cab operator has bid for a fancy telephone number 2000 2000 and paid Rs. 33.93 lakhs for getting it.
BSNL Chennai circle has offered the No. 2000 2000 to the highest bidder through e-auction. There was cut-throat competition and it was Ravi Travels, a company with about 2,000 cabs, that bagged the same in the highly hot bid.
The largest amount so far paid for such fancy number was in Kerala. Ravi Pillai, a businessman from Kerala paid Rs. 12.13 lakhs for getting a number with all zeros except the first digit.
Such news are welcome and will be a booster for BSNL!

AIBDPA, Foundation Day, October 21

It was four years earlier, on this day, 21st October 2009, that the mighty organisation of the pensioners, All India BSNL DOT Pensioners Association (AIBDPA) was born. In the National convention of BSNL-DOT Pensioners held at New Delhi on 21st October 2009, this new organisation was formed.It was a long waited dream of the BSNL-DOT Pensioners.
During the last 4 years, the organisation has strengthened and is now the biggest organisation of BSNL-DOT Pensioners. It has taken up the issue of the pensioners in general and that of BSNL-DOT pensioners in particular. AIBDPA organised several agitational programmes including a Parliament March and focussed the attention of the Government and the BSNL Management on the urgent and long pending demands of pensioners.It participated iin all the programmes of BSNLEU and BSNL Forum, with which it has got close association.
The First All India Conference of AIBDPA has been a historic event both in view of the high level of discussions, massive attendance and the decisions taken. The CEC held at Jaipur recently has charted out the path ahead.
AIBDPA CHQ has called upon all the units to observe 21st October, the birth anniversary of the organisation in a suitable way by hoisting the Union Flag, holding meetings etc.
We have many issues to be settled and we will certainly ensure that the same are achieved.
AIBDPA Zindabad!

National calamity, Odisha, Phailin

Bhubaneswar, Oct 19 : With Odisha incurring huge
loss of property and standing crops due to cyclone Phailin
and resultant floods, CPI(M) today demanded declaration of the situation as a National Calamity besides waiver of
agricultural loan for the year 2013-14.

“The devastation caused by Phailin be declared as a
National Calamity and the Central Government should shoulder
the lion’s share of the responsibility of relief and
restoration,” the CPI(M) in a memorandum to the Odisha
Governor said.

Stating that the central government should send a team
immediately to assess the loss, the CPI(M) said that the
people who have lost their houses in the calamity should be
provided with safe houses to be built at an expense of Rs 1
lakh each. The central government should share 90 per cent of
responsibility for the project, they said.

Asking the Centre to provide financial assistance of
Rs 12,000 per acre of crop loss, the Left party said that the
farmers need to be provided with free inputs and interest free agricultural loan.

The party also suggested several measures including
steps to check migration of affected people, employment for
artisans, support for students and others for the welfare of
the cyclone-flood affected districts.
