It is reported that the Indian forces faced the terrorists even without minimum protection equipments like bullet proof jacket. We now remember that Indian army faced the Chinese without adequate guns and ammunition. It is also reported that the best protection equuipments made in India are purcased by a large number of countries, but are not purchased by Indian government for their forces.
Central and State governments spend thousands and thousands of crores rupees for defence and security forces. Where all these funds are going if most important equipment are not purchased? A serious inquiry needs to be ordered. The valuable lives of Indian military / armed forces can not be at the mercy of the insensitive government.

Despite strong opposition from the trade unions, the EPFO will be putting Rs.5,000 crore of its funds in the market. This step will put to risk the hard-earned money of the workers in the highly fluctating and risky market.
As per statement of Central EPF Commissioner, this will be done in a function to be held at Mumbai on 6th August 2015.
We strongly oppose this decision which is putting the EPF in risk.

The sustained efforts of the Forum as also the 2 days strike by the BSNL employees on 21-22 April 2015 are showing results. The Secretary, DOT in its meeting with the Forum on 16th July has assured that the Rs. 1,250 crores allotted for 2012-13 will be paid after the Cabinet approves the same. In the same way the balance of the BWA spectrum refund is also on the anvil.

With the Save BSNL Campaign by the BSNL employees along with the new schemes started by BSNL Management and also the funds coming from DOT, it is a golden opportunity to ensure that BSNL bounces back to efficiency and profit.

An all out effort is required by the government, the DOT, BSNL and the employees for reviving this stellar PSU to its formal glory. BSNL Employees led by Forum should take the lead.

Narendra Modi Government’s claim of ‘corruption free government’ has fallen like a pack of cards. LAMO, VYAPAM and what not? More skeletons in the cup board?

Sitting in the Delhi International Airport and waiting for one’s flight is an experience. You can see people from all nationalties, dressed in many attires, young and old, men women and children, smiling and grim, all of them moving towards their boarding gates. Hotels, restaurents, bookstalls, massage parlour, smoking rooms, liquor shops, textiles, dresses, watches, suit cases and what not?
Yes, it is a world itself, a meeting place of people of many countries.
