All the meat shops and abattoirs in U.P. are on closed and on strike against the decision of  Yogi Aditynath Government to ban beef and also punish the ‘offenders’. Beef is the food of a large number of people and restrictions and ban on the same will adversely and badly affect their lives. This also affects the animals like lion, tiger etc. in the zoos.

Brute majority in the elections is not a licence to start anti-people, anti-animal drive and cutting short the employment of thousands of people.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has stated that the action is only against those not having valid licences, but in practice it is against all who deals with beef, meat etc. as alleged by the affected traders and people.

The UP government should stop this unwarranted attack on the people without any delay.

PM Modi visits Varanasi – What about the BSNL Contract worker?

Com.VAN Namboodiri, President, BSNLCCWF, wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the brutal exploitation of the contract workers engaged by BSNL in UP and especially in Varanasi, where they are paid only about Rs. 1,500 – 2000 in a month, though they are eligible for more than Rs.7,000 – 8,000. Neither EPF nor ESI is implemented for them which are as per the law of the land.

Of course, the Prime Minister’s office intervened. The Chief Labour Commissioner wrote to Dy. Chief Labour Commissioner, then the latter wrote to the Asst. Labour Commissioner etc. with copy to Com.VAN Namboodiri. But afterwards nothing happened. The brutal exploitation continues.

We thought that at least when the PM visits his constituency, some thing will be done. But nothing so far. The hard working contract labours are still being exploited inhumanly.

In Mizapur, the labours have been on hunger strike demanding that their arrears of wage for months be paid.

Is it that PMO is not interested or the BSNL Management at the local level do not care for PMO’s directions? Anyway, it is the toiling worker and his family who suffers.

Is the PMO hearing?

Mr. PM, are you hearing? 23 lakh persons apply for 368 peon Posts!

Please read the following report in the “Times of India” which says that 23 lakh persons applied for 368 vacancies of peons in the state. The depth of the unemployment can be understood from the report. Prime Minister Modi assured about reducing the unemployment. Mr. PM, in the state from which you are elected, the unemployment is so serious that 23 lakhs have applied for 368 posts of peon.It is shame to you and the country. When this is going to change?

Extract of the report is given below:

“LUCKNOW: What could be the height of unemployment? The answer to this lies in UP where more than 23 lakh persons have applied against 368 posts of peon in the state secretariat. The number is almost half the population of Lucknow, which is 45 lakhs.

What is even more shocking is that over two lakh applicants are at least graduate with BTech, BSc, MSc and MCom degrees. Applications also include 255 candidates with a PhD degree in hand.

The figures come from department of Sachivalaya Administration which would be conducting the appointment. Prabhat Mittal, secretary, informed that candidates had to apply online against the advertised posts. “We were shocked to see the response,” Mittal said.

The recruitment was to be done through direct interview which may take a couple of years.”

PMO intervenes in the complaint of non-payment of wages, non-implementation of labour laws in BSNL.

Based on the complaint by Com.VAN Namboodiri, President, BSNLCCWF to Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, on the brutal exploitation of the contract workers engaged by BSNL in UP, the Chief Labour Commissioner, Dy. Regional Commissioner Kanpur and Asst. Labour Commissioner Allahabad had asked the BSNL Management to strictly implement the minimum wage and the labour laws.

The ALC, Allahabad vide letter dated 15-06-2015 has addressed letters to the GMs BSNL, with copy to the Chief General Manager, UP(East) to ensure the implementation of labour laws and minimum wages, based on the complaint of BSNLCCWF, received from the PMO. It is to be mentioned here that the contract workers in UP are being paid only about Rs. 2,000- 3,000 per month. EPF, ESI are not implemented.

BSNLCCWF and BSNLEU Circle Secretaries are requested to immediately pursue the matter with the ALC with all the documents.

One year of NDA Rule – BSNL Contract labour in Varanasi gets Rs. 750- 1,000 in a month

On 16th May 2015, the Narendra Modi Government has completed one  full year in office. Many articles and write ups are there in the newspapers and electronic media about the growth and development. But what are the facts?

I shall cite only one example. BSNL Contract workers in Varanasi, the constituency of Shri Narendra Mody, Prime Minister, is brutally exploited and denied of the minimum wage, EPF, ESI etc. The workers are paid around Rs. 1,500 – 3,000 only, whereas, as per the Labour Ministry orders and Minimum wage, he should get about Rs. 7,000. In Varanasi some of the workers are paid as low as only Rs.750.

BSNLCCWF has brought all these to the notice of the Labour Ministry, BSNL Management and even to the notice of the Prime Minister. But so far no relief and remedy.

Today, once again I am writing to the Prime Minister requesting to end this cruel exploitation and  to ensure justice to these low paid workers.

The 7.9 earth quake with its epicentre near Kathmandu has resulted in death of more than 800 in Nepal. The districts in W.Bengal, Bihar and U.P., which are near the border had also been affected. Many people are reported dead in these districts, especially in Bihar. Since these are mainly interior villages, full information is not available.

I contacted Circle Secretaries Coms. Animesh Mitra (W.B.), B.P.Singh (Bihar) and R.K.Mishra (UP) and inquired about the causalities and conveyed our sympathy and sorrow in the loss of lives.

dead bodies

It is reported that more than 100 dead bodies have been found floating in the Ganges, near Unnao in  U.P. The bodies are in completely in mutilated and bad shape as the death might have occurred many days earlier and even the gender of the persons could not be ascertained. The bodies were found after the water level receded in the river.

Whether it was murder or whether it was accident or what is the reason is not known for so many dead bodies. The government, central / state should order an inquiry immediately to find out what happened that so many valuable lives have been lost.

What is the time for the suspension of an IAS Officer in UP? It is only 41 minutes as per SP leader Narendra Bhati.
Regarding the suspension of the IAS Officer Ms.Durga Shakti Nagpal, who took on with the sand mining mafia and confiscated many sand lorries and taken tough action and who was suspended by the UP Government on the pressure from sand mafia, the SP leader is reported to have told in a meeting: “I rang up Akhilesh Yadav and Mulayam Singh at around 10.30am and by 11.11am suspension orders were served”.

Young Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav should come out of the sand mafia pressure and reinstate the brave and courageous IAS Officer who stood firm for the government.

My Congratulations to Ms. Durga Nagpal for the firm stand she has taken against illegal sand mafia!
