The government and the private corporates always criticise the PSUs on one count or another to ensure they can privatise them without opposition. But what is the reality? It is these PSUs which are in the front in acts of social responsibility. One example is given below:

The following PSUs have taken the responsibility of cleaning the ten tourist/religious places:

  1. Hindustan Zinc – Ajmer Sharif Dargah
  2. SBI – Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai
  3. IOC – Mata Vaishno Devi Temple
  4. HPCL – Golden Temple, Amritsar
  5. Oil India – Kamakhya Devi Temple, Assam
  6. Coal India – Manikarnika Ghat, Varanasi
  7. BPCL – Meenakshi Temple, Madurai
  8. GAIL – Taj Mahal, Agra
  9. Northern Coal Field – Tirupati Balaji Temple
  10. NALCO – Shri Jagannatha Temple, Puri

Where are the private corporates in this competition? They are nowhere. They are busy with increasing  their profits!

2nd September Strike – The biggest strike in the world? -18 crore participation, Rs.18,000 crore loss

Today’s newspapers have reported about the 2nd September Strike. All the papers have published the reports of the strike, which they used not to do earlier. The massiveness of the strike has compelled them to publish.

Business Line has reported in the first page with a five column report with the caption “Strike by 18 crore workers results in Rs.18,000 crores.” This is no exaggeration. This is the biggest strike India has seen for a long time. It may the biggest strike in the world also. 18 crore workers will mean at least more than 40 crore people including their family.

If there has been a loss of Rs. 18,000 crore for the one day strike, it also means that these workers have been adding Rs.18,000 crore to economy every day they work. These are the workers who are the back bone of the country. It is only at the time when the workers go on strike, this vital point is noticed. It can well be taken that the Indian working class is adding more than Rs.30,000 crore to the economy of the nation every day.

The government should realise the great achievement of the workers and ensure that their demands are met with out delay. Otherwise, further struggles will arise! Let us be prepared for the same!

The Indian Working Class have once again showed their unity in struggle! The 2nd September Strike has been participated by more than 15 crore workers. In certain states like Kerala and Tripura it was a complete standstill. Workers in all sectors in all states participated in large numbers. As per the reports, this is the biggest working class struggle for the last many decades.

BSNL Employees Union and BSNL Casual and Contract Workers Federation have been preparing for the strike sufficiently in advance by organising conventions, committee meetings etc. It has got good results. In BSNL, most of the workers and casual and contract workers went on strike. The Pensioners under the leadership of AIBDPA organised demonstrations and processions in support and solidarity of the strike. The strike was  for the cause of the entire working class in the country. The demands raised by the Central Trade Unions, Independent Federations and Unions are the issues of the people and the toiling masses. The government can not escape from such justified demands.

While Congratulating the workers for the great struggle, we demand the government to concede the demands immediately, failing which further struggles will take place.

It is now established that the Reliance Industries have made huge money by pumping oil from the nearby ONGC oil fields through connectivity reservoirs etc. The Shaw panel also mentions that though this information was available with both companies,  it was kept it a secret.

The unions as well as political parties had raised the issue several years back, but no government took any action. The government has now to take serious action against the Reliance company both criminal and civil for cheating and making loss to the government.

It is stated by Shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL, that all the projected 2199 mobile towers in the naxalite areas have been installed, before the target period of December 2016. This is a great achievement of the management and the workers of BSNL. Hearty Congratulations to all involved! It is to be noted here that the private companies are shying away from erecting mobile towers and giving service in the naxalite and other troubled areas. They are only interested in profit. It is only BSNL, the telecom PSU, which enters these domains and provide service.

Delhites starts using umbrellas

Delhi people are not in the habit of using umbrellas. They will happily walk and enjoy during rains. During my more than two  decades stay in Delhi, I also did not use umbrella.
Situation is changing. During the past few days, I am seeing many people using umbrellas during rains. It is probably because of the heavy rains instead of the light rains/drizzling.
Climate change will change the age old habit of the people.
