11.01.2012]Sim Card with Rs.200 free talk time to be provided to employees who were earlier provided with WLL hand sets
In the 25th National Council meeting, held in June 2011, Staff Side demanded supply of mobile hand sets to all the Non-Executive employees. In view of BSNL’s deteriorating financial position, this demand was not accepted. However, in that meeting it was decided to provide a sim card with free talk time worth Rs.200/-, to such of those employees who were earlier provided with WLL hand sets. Now, Management Committee has given approval for this, and Corporate Office is likely to issue order soon.

Accordingly, Sukhram awarded a telecom equipment supply contract to the private company, which supplied inferior quality goods, at higher rate, to the DoT. Together with Sukhram, former DoT officer Runu Ghosh and the private company managing director, P.Ramarao, were also sent to jail.

[05.01.2012]Conduct demonstrations on 10.01.2012 The JAC has given call to conduct demonstrations on 10.01.2012 on the issues of 3G roaming and refund of BWA spectrum amount to BSNL.
It is known to every one now, that Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Tata Teleservices and Aircel were providing 3G services in circles where they have not acquired 3G spectrum. They were providing the service by sharing each others spectrum. This is violation of license conditions and caused huge loss of revenue to the govt. DOT banned this 3G intra circle roaming. One estimation is that, this 3G intra circle roaming has caused Rs.20,000 crore loss to the government. This looting by private companies has to be exposed among the people of this country.
BSNL has surrendered its BWA Spectrum in most of the circles. Govt. dumped this non-standard spectrum on BSNL. Now money should be refunded to BSNL for the spectrum that BSNL has surrendered. It is expected that BSNL may get around Rs.7000 crore as refund. Both these issues are very important. Circle and District Secretaries are requested to organize the demonstrations powerfully.

In 2007 the Venezuelan govt. nationalized the assets of Exxon Mobil. This nationalization became necessary since Exxon Mobil refused to accept the conditions laid down by the Venezuelan govt. Thereafter Exxon Mobil filed a case in the International Chamber of Commerce, and claimed a compensation of 12 billion US dollars. The International Chambers of Commerce has now given a verdict that Exxon Mobile can get a compensation of only 907 million dollars, which is only 10% of what the company originally claimed. Before the Leftist govt. under Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela, Multi National Companies like Exxon Mobil looted the oil resources of that country. But Hugo Chavez took many decisions in the interest of Venezuela and brought the multi national companies under control. InVenezuela, the govt. dictates terms to the Multi National Companies. But in India, MNCs like WalMart dictate terms to the government.

[04.01.2012]Govt. to intensify privatization of PSUs The Union Cabinet is likely to take up the Finance Ministry’s proposal to go ahead with disinvestment in several PSUs. The UPA govt. has proposed to raise Rs.40,000 crore in this financial year by way of selling shares in various PSUs. However, govt. has so far been able to raise only Rs.1,145 crore through selling shares. So, UPA govt. is likely to go in the offensive to restart disinvestment of PSUs. The working class has to counter this move in the appropriate manner.

[04.01.2012]Expose the fraud of the private telecom companiesOn 23.12.2011 DOT directed Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Tata Teleservices and Aircel to cancel their intra circle roaming agreements for providing 3G services. These companies have cheated the govt. thousands of crores of rupees, by providing 3G services in circles where they have not taken license for the same. However, on 24.12.2011 the TDSAT stayed DOT’s order. The next date for hearing in the TDSAT is on 09.01.2012. Meanwhile BSNL has requested the TDSAT to allow it to implead in the case. Now, DOT has challenged the authority of the TDSAT to stay it’s order. There is necessity for trade unions to expose among the people the massive fraud committed by these private companies. Hence, BSNLEU has requested the JAC to give call for some programme of action on this issue.
[04.01.2012]DOT plans to impose Rs.1,594 crore penalty on 6 private companiesThe DOT is proposing to impose penalties totalling Rs.1594 crore on 6 private telecom companies. These companies are Airtel, Reliance, Vodafone, Idea, Tata Tele Services and Tata Communications. These companies have understated their revenue in the years 2006-07 and 2007-08 for the purpose of license fee. Thereby these companies have cheated the govt. a huge amount towards license fee. As of now companies are paying 6% to 10% of their revenue as license fee. Minister Kapil Sibal will take a decision on 13thJanuary, 2012, on the DOT’s decision to impose penalty.
[04.01.2012]What Ms. Mamata Bannerjee told and forgot to tell“The Centre had decontrolled the price of fertilizer in 2010, but not giving any subsidy to farmers for purchasing fertilizer. The farmers in our state too are now being forced to purchase fertilizer at a higher price. We are not responsible for this”.
- Ms. Mamata Bannerjee, CM of West Bengal
Source: Economic Times 04.01.2012
Thanks to Ms. Mamata Bannerjee for making this confession. In persuit of it’s Liberalisation policies, the UPA government is curtailing the subsidies given to the poor farmers. This is also one of the reason for 2,50,000 farmers committing suicide in the last 16 years. But what Ms. Mamata Bannerjee has not told is that the same UPA government is giving tax concessions to the corporates at the rate of nearly Rs.5 lakh crores every year. Still Manmohan Singh is claiming that his is the government of “Aam admi”.
