Due to some reason or other, Com Hariharan Nair (BDPA, Kerala) and Com R K Mudgal (MREWA, Delhi) could not attend the meeting but they have given their consent to the decision.

Though AIBSNLREA was invited, they did not respond.

After deliberations, the following decisions were taken unanimously:

Immediately a letter, jointly signed by all GS of the above pensioners associations, will be sent to, demanding immediate release of Dearness Relief to BSNL/MTNL pensioners due from 1/1/2026 and periodic release of Dearness Relief every three months without causing any delay

a) Cabinet Secretary

b) Telecom Secretary

c) Secretary, Department of Expenditure

d) Secretary, Department of Public Enterprises

e) Secretary, DoP&PW

The letter will be handed over in person by the leaders (M K Bagchi/G L Jogi/A K Kaushik etc) available in Delhi.  In that letter itself it will be intimated about the following programme of action:

16/4/26 – Demonstration in front of CCA offices and before BSNL offices in other places throughout the country – Time may be decided jointly at local level.  In Delhi, it will be held in Eastern Court.

30/4/2026 – One day Dharna throughout India.

We hope that the Government will respond positively to the demand of BSNL/MTNL pensioners.  If not, the committee will again meet and decide further course of action. 

Signed by
