Main focus of this campaign should be the issue of Subsidiary Tower Company. The government’s game-plan, to kill BSNL by breaking it to pieces, through formation of the Subsidiary Tower Company, should be well explained to the people.

With deep sorrow it is intimated that Com.Sisir Bhattacharjee, veteran and senior most leader of the P and T movement passed away today evening at 18.25 hours at a Kolkota Hospital. He was 98.
Com. Sisirda, as he was respectfully called has started his job in the P & T Work Shop ( later termed as Telecom Factory) and was the unquestioned leader of the Industrial and non Industrial workers for decades. He was the leader along with Com.K.G.Bose, who through great struggle achieved Festival Advance for the CG employees. Com. Sisirda was was the first Patron of BSNL Employees Union elected in its foundation Conference at Visakhapatnam in March 2001. The TF workers consider him as their saviour.
Sisirda was admitted to the hospital a few days back and his condition was critical. All our comrades of Kolkata, W.Bengal and Telecom Factory were by his side all these and informed us his condition.
Com.Sisirda is no more. The cremation will take place tomorrow. His wife, who was also a P and T employee and union leader passed away last year.
My heart felt condolences to the bereaved family, friends and comrades.
I used to meet him every time I went to Kolkata and he will not be there next time to meet and get guidance.

It is reported that MOU has been signed by Central Government and Dalmia Limited for handing over the heritage Red Fort to the latter for 5 years for RS. 25 crores or so.
It means that not only the valuable PUSs, but even priceless Heritage Buildings like Red Fort is being sold.
It is to be noted that, it is on the ramparts of the Red Fort that Prime Minister hoist the National Flag on Independence Day. Now will the PM hoist the flag on Dalmia’s Fort?
Can’t the people of the country protest and stop this loot and destroyal?
8th May All India Protest Day against Petrol-hike – CPI(M) Call
27 Friday Apr 2018
Posted in General
New Delhi, April 27 : The Polit Bureau has issued the following statement: The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the astronomical rise in the prices of petrol and diesel in the country.
The sharp increase in the retail price of petrol and diesel is having a backbreaking impact on the ordinary people of this country. The price of the petroleum products have the obvious cascading effect on the essential commodity prices which the common man uses for daily life. The PB firmly expresses that this unusual rise which makes retail prices of petroleum products in India, the highest in South Asia is principally on account of the tremendous hike in mopping up revenues by the central government, through excise duties.
In the last four years, from 1st April 2014, the excise duty on petrol has gone up from Rs. 9.48/litre to Rs. 19.48/litre as of now. This amounts to a hike of 105% and 47.4% of the retail price is going to the tax revenue collection. Similarly, the excise duty on diesel which was Rs. 3.56/litre on 1st April 2014 has now gone up to Rs. 15.33/litre. This again amounts to an increase of 330%, while 38.09% of the retail price is going to taxes. Going back to the earlier promise of reducing the duty in the event of hardening of the international crude price, the government will commensurately reduce the duty, the high level of duties continue resulting in backbreaking burden on the people. The retail prices of petrol and diesel are both now ruling at the highest ever levels.
The Polit Bureau demands that the central government should immediately roll back the duty to provide some relief to the people who are coming under tremendous burden. The Polit Bureau has called upon all its units to observe 8th May as an all India Protest Day demanding the immediate rollback of duty hikes. This is particularly necessary after the central government willingly allows lakhs of crores of rupees as tax waivers to top corporates of the country. The PB appeals to all other democratic and pro-people forces to also join in this action to force a roll back of excise duties.
