BSNL requests for allotment of 700 Mhz Spectrum

CMD BSNL has requested the government for allotment of 700 Mhz for providing 4G services. This is a good proposal and if granted will help BSNL in a good way.

In fact, during my meeting with both Shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL and Shri J.S.Deepak, Secretary, DOT recently, I have made the proposal to both. Since the private telcos have not bid for 700 Mhz on the plea of high base price, the same can be allotted to BSNL free or by payment in instalments. While CMD BSNL appreciated the proposal, Secretary DOT did not respond either way.

The proposal of the CMD should be well taken by the government and the 700 Mhz spectrum allotted free or as equity or as loan without interest and to be repaid in instalments. This will also create a situation where the private companies will bid for the spectrum and the government will get additional funds.

Com.V.A.N.Namboodiri, Advisor, AIBDPA met Shri J.S.Deepak, Secretary DOT and requested that spectrum be allotted free to BSNL. He pointed out that 700 Mhrz and 800 Mhrz has not been bid by the private telcos citing its high basic price. Com.Namboodiri stated that if 700/800 Mhrz spectrum is given free to BSNL, it can provide the 4G services and also compete with the private companies. It will  compel the private telcos to bid for the same spectrum resulting in good amount to the government. BSNL will become profitable and if necessary the price for spectrum can be paid in installments.  Secretary heard the same patiently.

 

Oppose the formation of Tower Company tooth and nail.

It is reported that the government of India has approved formation of a tower company, bifurcating BSNL. This decision is to be condemned and opposed with all our might. The above decision of the government is to disintegrate BSNL by making it a loss making company and then sell strategically or otherwise.

The Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations has taken the correct decision to oppose the formation of tower company. The programme on 26th October 2016 should be made a massive action with participation of maximum workers.

BSNL Employees Union and the Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations have the proud record of defeating government decisions on disinvestment of BSNL, VRS/CRS of one lakh workers as also unbundling of the valuable cables for the benefit of the private players. Till now, the government could not implement any of these decisions for which the workers and unions have to be congratulated for their rock like unity and firm determination which defeated the govt. decisions.

It is hoped that all the unions/associations will join together to defeat the attack on BSNL and its workers. We can not allow BSNL to be disintegrated. Fight to the last!

NFPE Federal Council demands scrapping of NPS for CG employees

The 10th Federal Council Meeting held at Guwahati from 07th to 9th September 2016 has adopted a strong resolution demanding the scrapping of the NPS for those recruited from 01-01-2004 and demanded that all those employees recruited from 01-01-2004 also should be made eligible for the Defined Benefit  Pension Scheme. In the Strike Notice issued by the National JAC of Central Government employees also, the same demand has been raised.

This is fully justified. The Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations should also demand that all the employees appointed from 01-10-2000 ( date of formation of BSNL) should be granted the Defined Statutory Pension as in the case of the DOT appointed and BSNL absorbed employees. The discrimination between the two set of employees should be removed and justice given to the BSNL appointed employees.

On the basis of the Niti Ayog recommendations, the Department of Investment and Public Assess Management (DIPAM – the new name for the former Department of Disinvestment) is moving for the strategic sale of 27 central PSUs. The names come out include Container Corporation of India, Bharat Earthmovers Ltd, Certification Engineers International Ltd., Hindustan Newspapers Ltd., Scooters India Ltd., Air India etc. BSNL and MTNL were reported to be in the list, but immediately Niti Ayog issued a denial. It is clear that the denial was only to hoodwink the workers in these two PSUs and take them by surprise later to avoid agitation.

The Central Trade Unions have to focus these issues in a massive and prepare the workers for a serious fight. The Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations as also the Forum of BSNL/MTNL Unions / Associations should start preparations for a serious sustained struggle to defeat the ill-conceived moves of the NDA government.

Bajpai Government sold VSNL to Tata. Are the BSNL and MTNL unions and workers going to allow strategic sale of BSNL and MTNL being planned by the Modi Government?

The answer is a big NO.  BSNL Workers defeated the decisions of the government to disinvest and impose VRS/CRS. They will defeat the move for strategic sale also.

Hold National Council Meeting of BSNL without further delay

The VII Membership Verification of Non-executive unions in BSNL was conducted on 10th May 2016 and results announced with BSNLEU as the Main Recognised Union and NFTE as the second recognised union.

It is almost five long months, but the management is yet to notify the formation of the National Council. BSNLEU has already given its nominations. (4 seats are kept vacant for its allies). Despite the nominations, BSNL Management has not formed the Council. This is completely unacceptable. Meetings are to be held once in three months. Already the period for one meeting is over.

Management should form the National Council immediately and start discussion. The employees have got a lot of issues which require urgent attention.

Spectrum Auction to get at least Rs.5.6 lakh crore

The auction for spectrum proposed today is expected to get at least Rs. 5.6 lakh crore for the Government. It may be more also.

We demand that the government should allot at least Rs. 10,000 crore to BSNL and a similar amount to MTNL for modernisation and purchase of equipment.  The BSNL and MTNL Managements as also the unions and associations should take up the issue with the government. It is the duty of the government to assist these  two telecom PSUs to pass over the present financial crisis and restore its past glory. Simply issuing statements that Government will assist BSNL / MTNL is not sufficient. Action should follow assurances.

According to the Tourism Secretary Shri Vinod Zutshi, BSNL and MTNL will be engaged for providing Wi-Fi in about 100 tourist spots in India, including many heritage sites. The sites will be selected within six months and the Tourism Ministry will bear the operational expenses for the first three years, he said.

Let it not be like many assurances given by the government at the time of formation of BSNL, which were withdrawn later.  (Courtesy: ET)
