Avalanches, typhoons, storms, floods, Sunamis have become a regular occurance in one part or other of the world causing destruction and loss of valuable lives. Yesterday it was the huge snow storm in the east coast of US, putting vast areas of New York, Washington etc. under 2-3 feet of snow and death of 19 or more persons.
Is these furies of the nature a result of its unscientific exploitation and unlimited abuse by mankind for centuries? If so, what can be done to avoid the same?

Almost every day, I am getting complaints from casual contract workers and their leaders about non-payment of minimum wages, non-implementation of EPF,ESI etc. Today was not different. It was from Etah SSA in UP(West). Workers are paid a dismal Rs. 2000 or so in a month. No social security measures implemented. Contract workers are retrenched when they demand for minimum wage.
This is nothing but cruel and brutal exploitaton of these hard working mazdoors
The Contractor and those who side with this expolitation should be ashamed of themsevels for looting these poor workers who work hard for the BSNL and customers.
This brutal ecploitation should end! The workers should get Justice!

The BJP government has today released some of the secret files on Subhas Chandra Bose. One of them is a copy of letter purportedly written by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to former British Prime Minister Atlee in which Netaji is mentioned as a ‘war criminal’. The question whether it is a document or forgery aside, the people of India never considered Subhas Chandra Bose as a War Criminal, but held him in high esteem and loved him as one of the fiery patriots who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the country.

Rohit Vemula has sacrificed his valuable young and vigorous life in the struggle against discrimination,  inequality and for the cause of dalits. Rohit,  your sacrifice will not be in vain! The toiling masses of the country will spare no pains to take up the issues you raised and will fight against discriminiation, inequality and injustice.

During the last 15 years after formation of BSNL, more than 1,30,000 employees have retired from BSNL and about 30,000 have been recruited including regularisation of casual workers and direct recruitment to JTO and TTA. In all, more than one lakh employees have been reduced. This is seriously and adversely affecting the services of BSNL. The shortage in staff is mainly in sections dealing with fault repair, customer service etc. which are very important areas. Further, without young people and young blood no organisation can bring its vibrant growth.
BSNL management should take urgent steps for the same.

In order to ensure security of the Nation  and to promote the telecom PSUs, BSNL & MTNL, the Central Government should issue orders making it mandatory for central/ state governments and all PSUs to take BSNL/MTNL connections. Such mandatory provisions have been made for  travelling by Air India by all government officials. This will help growth of these 2 PSUs. Forum of BSNL Unions/ Associations should pursue the issue seriously.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release 100 secret files today related to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. It is doubtful whether it will clear the mystery regarding the death of Netaji, but interesting information is sure to be revealed.

Ravi Shankar Prasad, Communications Minister, has stated that the fast growing telecom sector will require 4.16 million workers by 2022. If the 15% growth continues, this may be true.
But as Communications, he has to ensure that additional jobs are created in BSNL & MTNL also. Young blood should be inducted.

It is reported that 2015 is the warmest year since 1880 and the warmest month, December 2015.
Is the world becoming hotter? Is Nature reacting to the abuse by mankind? Time is running out. World governments and people have to take necessary steps to save the earth and humans.
