06nd Jan 2010 State office bearer meeting along with Kolkata based Zonal Secys. will be held on 08.01.2010 at Telephone Bhavan on 3pm. All State office bearers, CWC members, Kolkata based Zonal Secys. are requested to attend the meeting.

02nd Jan 2010 As per CHQ website ---

BSNLBoard in its meeting on 30.12.2009 decided to put on hold the 93 million GSM tender, the world's largest ever equipment order. The objections were raised by members from DoT in the board meeting. In the earlier 45 million tender also vested interest delayed the tender process and finally the tender had approved only for 22.5 million lines. SNEA(I) and Joint Forum fought against the vested interest at that time through agitation. By the delay we lost almost two precious years and BSNL slipped from the top / second position to fourth / fifth position today. This time also M/s Nokia Seimens with the help of vested interests tried to stall the 93 Million tender process through litigation in the Hon. High court of Hyderabad but finally failed. All court cases on the tender have gone in favour of BSNL and even an ‘integrity panel’ set up with the permission of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has cleared BSNL of any wrongdoing in the past regarding this tender. On failing on all other fronts, the vested interests in DoT now want to scrap the tender and re-tender it or at least halve the tender size by citing irregularities. Interstingly the DoT members were silent on the issue so far. If the tender is cancelled it will take minimum one to one and half year to complete the re-tendering process if everything goes smoothly and the roll out will take another one more year. By that time the entire market can be captured by the private operators and BSNL will be out from the scene.

We have to expose the evil designs of the vested interests who want to promote private operators on BSNL's cost and make BSNL sick. We should not allow this to happen.

The dissenting note of one of the Board member said  “However, it appears that BSNL’s marketshare in mobile services, which has today come down to less than 13% from 18% a few years back, may ultimately stabilise (at) between 6% and 8% with increased competition in a total market of about 1 billion mobile phones”. The motives are crystal clear to any keen observer of the Telecom scenario in the country. He makes his intention explicitly and unashamedly clear by stating that BSNL  should end up with a market share of 6% and eventually in a couple of years be totally thrown out of the market.

An urgent Joint Forum meeting convened today and discussed this serious development. The JF unanimously decided to launch organisational actions to seek the intervention of Hon. Prime Minister of India to "SAVE BSNL". As part of organisational actions it was decided to implement the following programmes:

1. Telegram campaign on 02nd to 04th January, 2010 to Dr. Manmohan Singh, Hon. Prime Minister of India by Circle/SSA/ Branch Secretaries. Activists also can send the telegram.

2. Mass demonstration at CHQ/Circle/ SSA level on 05.01.2010.

Circle level Joint Forum meeting was held on 04.01.2010 at Telephone Bhavan and it was decided in the meeting :

i) For CTD, Mass demonstration will be observed on 05.01.2010 at Telephone Bhavan & Area Manager office/major buildings at 12.30 pm.

ii) For WBTC & other circles, mass demonstration will be observed on 05.01.2010 at Circle HQ/SSA HQ at 12.30 pm.

All state office bearers, CWC members, zonal Secys, zonal office bearers and activists are requested to organize the demonstration programme at grass root level for its grand success.
