Despite of bringing the brutal exploitation of contract labour in UP even to the notice of the Prime Minister, no improvement has taken place. The wages for the last many months have not been paid. The workers were being paid only Rs. 1500-2000. This has to be changed. The top management keeps stoic silence against this injustice. Struggle is the only way. Strengthen the organisation for a tough fight.

Nepal Constituent Assembly has shown wisdom and democratic tradition by rejecting the demand for reverting the country to a Hindu State. Nepal was a Hindu nation for centuries with the King considered and revered as the living god, till a few years back (2006)when it was changed in to a democratic nation.
The Constituent assembly is to be appreciated for rejecting the proposal with more than two-third majority.Those few who wants India to be made a Hindu Nation should note this decision in neighboring country.

As assured by the BSNL Management during the discussion with the unions at Thiruvananthapuram on 20th August, MSS Rao CGM BSNL Kerala should be transferred immediately. The victimisation of the union leaders/workers should cancelled immediately.
