Today, Team AIGETOA comprising the General Secretary Sh Ravi Shil Verma, President Sh G Veerabhadra Rao, and Dy. General Secretary Sh Pavan Akhand held a meeting with BSNL Management, including the Director (HR) Sh Kalyan Sagar Nippani Ji, PGM (Pers) Sh Rajeev Kaushik Ji, PGM (Estb.) Sh S P Singh Ji, and PGM (Legal) Sh Nelli Ram Krishna Ji, on the issues raised through the pre-notice served by BDM and the ongoing “Work According to Rule” program, which commenced today.

During the discussion, the management once again reiterated that all issues are “under process” and that “work is in progress on the issues,” while advising the association to refrain from agitation. AIGETOA team stated that the discussion is going on for almost one year now and its high time that the concrete result should be visible on board.

We firmly stated that instead of going round and round in discussions, there should be a firm yes or no. Accordingly, the association demanded a clear and unambiguous stand from the management, with a firm “YES” or “NO” on each issue raised jointly by AIGETOA and BTEU through Bhartiya Doorsanchar Manch (BDM).

On being pressed firmly, the management committed that within 2 to 3 days it will finalize its position and respond with a definitive stand on all the issues. AIGETOA has made it clear that detailed discussions has already been held and hence the next meeting should result in conclusive decisions.

We will wait for the final response from BSNL Management within the committed timelines. We will keep one and all informed about the developments.
