The decision of EPFO to invest 10% of EPF  deposit in market instead of the present 5% is condemnable. The central trade unions had strongly 0pposed this wrong move. The hard earned money of the workers are being put to risk.
The government should cancel the ill motivated decision.

Yesterday myself along with Pankajam visited Sunderayya Vigyan Kendra, the memorial to the great Communist and legendary leader of the historic Telengana Armed Struggle. His dresses, cycle used to go to Parliament when he was M.P., utensils used, the radio, about 50,000 of books – all are kept in the museum and library. How simple a life the great leader lived! The first General Secretary of CPI (M) formed in 1964, he was the organiser of Communist Party in South India.

The Central Cabinet has decided to grant 78 days bonus for 2015-16 to the Railway workers  numbering about 12 lakh. This is the 5th consecutive year they are getting the same amount. The bonus will be paid before Puja holidays.

One more PSU has passed in to History. Today Central Cabinet has decided to close the Hindustan Cables Limited. Modi Government is on the spree to finish the PSUs one after another.

Oppose and defeat this murder of PSUs.

Manoj Sinha, Communications Minister yesterday told the BSNL Management and employees to perform well. He also spoke about ‘performance related pay’ and VRS for ‘inefficient employees’. Well advice!
Shall we remind the Minister that it was not because of non-performance of the employees that BSNL came down; It is the same employees who had made BSNL grow year after year, increasing profit to Rs.10,000 to Rs. 12,000 crore with a revenue of Rs.40,000 crore.
It was the Communications Minister and government who cut the procurement of equipment, taken the funds of BSNL on one pretext or other and made the PSU loss making. We appreciate the new Minister for making payment of the 2014-15 USO Fund of Rs.1250 crore to BSNL, but much more is to be done. Refund the charges for spectrum returned, waive licence fee and taxes of BSNL, recruit sufficient staff, procure adequate equipment, give sufficient training to staff etc. will make a great change. Is the government ready for the same?
Due to the sustained efforts of management and workers the market share has gone up to more than 10%, thousands of additional towers are erected, BSNL has become the maximum new mobile provider – yes BSNL is advancing. The Minister should help the BSNL to restore its past glory.

The massive dharnas yesterday (27th September) all over India by BSNL Casual and Contract workers should open the eyes of the management to the genuine problems of the workers and settle the same. The brutal exploitation of the low paid employees should be put an end to.
The BSNL Management should remember that it’s credibility and honour are at the lowest level as a result of this exploitation and corrupt practices by denying the due wages and social security measures to the casual contract workers engaged for BSNL.

Water shortage and misuse of water resources have resulted in crisis of water availability and fight for water between Nations and between States and between villages.

Is the findings of water availability in Moon a welcome news?

The reduction of international oil prices has its repercussion in the salary of government employees in Saudi. The

government has issued orders reducing the salary by 20% including for Ministers. The main revenue for the country comes from oil.

This crisis  will have its impact on the employment chances for Indians.
