The refusal of Prime Minister’s Office to divulge the details of expenditure of the foreign tour of the Prime Minister is  not only a mockery of RTI but also indicates something fishy.
The PM should direct his office to divulge the details on RTI. The Chief Information Commissioner is also reported to have stated that these infornation are to be supplied.

Ashoka was a great king, according to history, who left the war-field and became a disciple of Budhism. It is said that he did a lot of good to the people.

His caste was not a subject matter so far. But now the BJP leaders are claiming that he was a Khushwaha by caste. At the same time, noted historiand have stated that there is no proof for the caste of Ashoka.
Why BJP wants every body to be put in locks of a caste?

During last financial year it was observed that our employees have able to add 16000 New BSNL Customers in our Circle. In the last financial  year We have made a Revenue Growth of 8.34% in WBT Circle. it is learnt that we could earn Rs. 50 Crore more than the last year. We had performed significantly in EB, Marketing etc. It is also learnt that the Revenue earned from L/L almost remained same that of last year but we could not performed up to the mark in GSM segment. Comrades, we should not be complacent, we have to perform better this year.”

My Hearty Congratulations to the workers and leaders of W.Bengal Circle for the improvement. Try more and you will gain more!

From tonight the prices of petrol and diesel will go up substantially. The increase for petrol is Rs. 3.13  and Rs. 2.71 for diesel per litre. The government justifies the hike on the plea that the international price for crude oil has gone up. This is the second time within a short period the prices have been increased.

When the international prices come down, it is not reflected on the price to the consumer since government increase the tax etc. But the prices increase the full burden is put on the shoulders of the customer.

There has already been undue delay in settling the 78.2% IDA pension fixation. DOT as well as Minister Communications has assured that the matter will be speeded up. But so far, even the Cabinet note has not been prepared.

We demand that the DOT and Government should immediately act. The Pensioners are eagerly waiting for getting the benefit of 78.2% Pension fixation implemented.

There should not be any further delay. The DOT should act.

With deep grief and sorrow it is intimated that Comrade K.Chandran, senior leader of the P and T Trade union movement and also of the Pensioners movement, passed away today at Kozhikode. He was 83.

Joining the Telegraph Office, Calicut as a boy peon at the age of 16, Com. Chandretten, as he was respectfully called by all his colleagues, retired from service in 1989. He has been the District Secretary and also a Circle Office-bearer of the T.III Union (NFPTE). In all the strikes since 1960 he has participated and was suspended and victimised heavily.

He had deep knowledge about the trade union movement, both national and international. He was very active even till the last moment in the pensioners movement, especially AIBDPA.

I have a long association with him while I was working at Calicut. His commitment to the union and co-workers was beyond description. He stood with the workers and defended them at all costs.

His death is a great loss to the trade union movement and personally to me.

My Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family – wife Smt. Shyamala, sons Manoj Kumar,Shaju and daughter Minimol. Condolences to his comrades and friends.

Red Salute to Com. K.Chandran!
