The sustained struggle including strike by the employees as also casual and contract workers in Kerala had its effect at last. MSS Rao, CGM, Kerala, whose anti-worker actions and victimisation of union workers and leaders, has been directed by the Corporate office today, to proceed on leave immediately handing over the charge to Shri Subbiah, next senior officer. Transfer order will be issued after deciding the place of posting.

Yesterday, we had pointed out, that there is no other way, but to transfer the arrogant officer, since not only victimisation was taking place, but the entire services in Kerala were being adversely affected by his wrong decisions.

We congratulate the BSNL workers of Kerala for the sustained struggles and also the CHQ for ensuring that an opening has been made to settle the immediate issues, by the transfer of the CGM Kerala.

We hope that the new BSNL Kerala Circle in-Charge will start immediate discussion with the unions and settle the fully justified demands of the workers.

No struggle is in vain. The result will come soon or later.
