Congratulations to Kerala Circle

All in BSNL know that Kerala circle continues to increase its revenue and profit year after year, while almost all other circles are posting loss. Despite the anti- worker anti-PSU policy of the government, service is also comparatively good in Kerala.
The reasons are many. The unions and management together are putting great efforts to meet customers and settle their issues. Effective propaganda for BSNL is unleashed. The customer service centres function effectively. Of course, there is full support from tbe public also. This is what I could understand while  visiting many centres in Kerala while campaigning in connection with membership verification.
Keep up the positive stride Kerala. Congratulations for Kerala workers!

23rd March 2016 is the 85th martyrdom day of Shahid Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev who were hanged on 23rd March 1931 at their young age. Bhagat Singh was only 24 years old at that time. They were hanged by the British on the charges conspiracy and terrorism against the British. But they were never terrorists. They were fighting for the freedom of the country. They were the brave sons of India.

We pay respectful homage to these martyrs who sacrificed every thing for the freedom of the nation!

Red Salute to these eternal revolutionaries!
