Delay in settling PLI(Bonus) for BSNL employees unacceptable. Festival season started. Management should take immediate action to grant PLI(Bonus).

I like train journeys. It is always a time to read. Today I am in train going to Raipur from Delhi along with Com. KG Jayaraj to attend the Circle Conference of AIBDPA tomorrow. I could go through some books I wanted to read. While in AC compartment, one gets sleepy, but somehow I managed to be awake to read.
The government move to privatise this biggest service and Department is anti-people, anti-nation. It is a sell out of the nation’s wealth to the MNCs and Indian Corporates. Massive protest of the people is required to save Railways, the transport of the poor and rich alike.

Time flies fast. It is 24 years after the histiric All India Conference of All India Telecom Employees Union Class III at Bhopal in October 1991, which heralded a new, militant and dedicated leadership in the organisation led by Coms. Moni Bose and VAN Namboodiri. A whole new generation of leadership came to the fore.
The last 24 years since have seen vast changes in the telecom sector including entry of private companies and capturing market. Workers are reduced from more than 5 lakh to 2.20 lakh. BSNL, the  telecom PSU, is fighting for survival and for providing better service. The employees are united to save telecom.Continued struggles take place on the justified demands of workers.
The workers are determined to save BSNL and provide a better service.
The workers have learnt from ecperiences that both the NDA and UPA governments are the governments of the corporates, for the corporates and by the corporates. The present NDA goverrnment is further soft on communalism and intolerance, which is a grave danger.
A change is necessary which the mighty united force of the common people and the toiling masses alone can bring.

It is reported in ‘Hindu’ today that about 400 to 500 trees including fruit bearing ones have been cut and more than 1,000 two year plants of several species up rooted at the new campus of BP Mandal University in Patna to make space for the election rally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 1 November 2015.
This is atrocious and is to be condemned. This is completely unacceptable. Prime Minister who speaks for Swatch Bharat and who have the responsibility to make for a better environment should take strict action against the persons responsible for this carnage of trees. Otherwise, it will be presumed that this murder of trees is with his permission.
In that case, the entire guilt falls on the shoulders of the PM.

The ferocious storm ‘Patricia’ has reached Mexico ravaging the country with a speed of more than 165 km and the sea waves reaching more than 20 metres high. Lakhs of people of three provinces have been already got vacated to safety.
Why so many storms, Sunamis etc.are  happening  in quick succession during the last one or two decades? But the consolation is that the scientists and weather analysts are mostly able to forecast such storms, so that safety measures like evacuation can be arranged to save valuable lives.

The United Nations Organisation (UNO) is completing 70 years of fruitful serbice on 23 October 2015. Formed in 1945, after the Second World War, UNO was formed with the aim of peaceful co-operation between the Nations and to prevent future world wars. It has got various arms for education, health, labour etc.

India’s demand for a permanent seat in the Security Council of UNO is fully justified. We hope that the demand is accepted.
