Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch (BDM) writes to the CMD BSNL expressing deep disappointment over the non-resolution of long-pending HR issues despite categorical assurances from BSNL Management in July 2025.
On the basis of commitments given by BSNL and appeals issued by management, BDM had called off its organizational action programs in good faith. However, even after the intervention of the Hon’ble Minister of Communications, directions from the Apex Parliamentary Committee on Public Undertakings (COPU), and the passage of almost two months, no progress has been made, nor has any communication been shared with the constituents of BDM.
BDM highlighted that the categorical assurances from management that issues would be resolved within 2-3 weeks have not been honored and employees who showed restraint and trust in management’s word are now feeling disheartened.
As BSNL prepares to celebrate its Silver Jubilee on 1st October 2025 with customer-centric programs, BDM has reminded management that the long-pending HR issues are also completing 25 years of pendency. Instead of symbolic gifts like silver coins, the real gift to employees, who are the internal customers of BSNL should be the resolution of long-pending issues related to Pay, Pension, and Promotion, including implementation of 3rd PRC.
BDM has clearly stated that in the absence of firm and time-bound actions by management, it will be compelled to review its earlier decision of keeping organizational programs in abeyance. The responsibility for any industrial unrest will solely rest with BSNL Management.
