THANJAVUR COMRADES CONTINUE THEIR GREAT WORK....As already reported through this Site, members of our Thanjavur SSA Unit in Tamilnadu organise lot of charity work every year. Again on 14-10-2017 and 15-10-2017 the Thanjavur comrades led by Com. Swaminathan, Com. Santhanagopalan, Com. Irudhayaraj and many ladies visited few more orphanages in the temple city and gave away clothes, food and money for crackers to the inmates sharing their happy moments on the eve of Deepawali.
The great service rendered by BSNL Pensioners of Thanjavur under the banner of AIBSNLPWA really lighted the lamps of hope in the mind of many hapless people, left in lurch by the society including their relatives.
Kudos to Thanjavur Pensioners.

With regard to granting of 78.2% benefit with extra increment to the left out cases will be decided soon, in consultation with DoT. Thus!

SRI RAMACHANDRA RAO BEING FELICITATED.
I am quite excited to receive a report from Shri T Santhanagopal, VP of our Thanjavur branch about the way they celebrated Deepavali, instead of wasting money on crackers etc.
A team of our Pensioner comrades led by Shri V Swaminathan(District Secretary), Com. K S Krishnamoorthy and some lady comrades of Thanjavur in Tamilnadu visited different Orphanage Homes, Blind Boys Schools, Poor Girls Homes, Mentally Retards Rehabilitation Centres, Deaf and Dumb Home etc in the Temple Town and distributed good number of packets of clothes to the inmates, 650 packets of sweet etc. etc.
It is further heartening to note that Shri Vinodh, the PGMT of Thanjavur and Shri Vijayakumar, DGM participated in such a function organized by our District Association in an orphanage Anbalayam. The Instructors/Teachers and inmates of these Poor Homes were jubilant to receive the gifts from BSNL pensioners.
I congratulate the Thanjavur comrades who organize such charity programmes every year instead of spending money or crackers. This type of charity really gives light to the minds and eyes of hapless people.
Few photos are given below.

AS REPORTED BY US EARLIER, THE RATE OF IDA FROM OCTOBER 2017 IS 124.3%.
DPE HAS ISSUED ORDERS IN THIS REGARD. BOTH THE ORDERS ARE UPLOADED HEREUNDER:
Yesterday, BSNL staff Unions have organized a candle march in Delhi demanding wage re vision. We congratulate them for the united action. We know candle cannot substitute sun. But it is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
A sustained, united struggle is the essential pre-requisite to get wage revision. Some have the illusion that CMD and BSNL Board will help them. Attitude of the government is most important.
We have no illusion that once the serving staff get the wage revision the pensioners will automatically will get pension revision. Pensioners have to struggle for that. Our pension revision should be completely delinked from the wage revision issue of serving staff.
However, we are keen that serving staff get wage revision. They lost bonus. Normally Telecom employees used to get maximum bonus. More than the railway workers. Had we continued as Department of Telecom, minimum 80 days’ pay could be expected as bonus for each serving employee. That comes around Rs 18000. BSNL management has saved more than Rs 350 crore. Navrathri and Durga Puja have gone without bonus for BSNL staff.That is another indication. United struggle by entire BSNL employees including officers will become inevitable for wage revision.
The Corporate Office of BSNL has sent another letter today to all CGMs asking to intimate number of cases processed by BSNL and forwarded to concerned CCAs for revision of DoT pension applying the new formulation granted vide order dated 12-5-2017.This is the third reminder in the matter.Number of cases identified against each circle is also attached to the letter from Corporate Office.The number of DOT pensioners in the Circles is as:
