BSNL authorities said on Wednesday that its services in the Northeast
remained unaffected amid a three-day nationwide strike called by the
employees of the telecom major.
The authorities based in Assam,
Meghalaya and Tripura said that there were no significant affect or
trouble in the services since Monday in the seven northeastern states,
excluding Sikkim.
Meanwhile, Sankar Bardhan, a Tripura-based
leader of the All India Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB) which
called for the strike, said that the agitating employees in support of
their demands organised demonstrations and protest rallies in the entire
region.
The AUAB's demands include allotment of the 4G spectrum
to BSNL, return of over one lakh crore properties to the Department of
Telecommunications (DoT), benefits to executives under the 3rd Pay
Revision Committee with 15 per cent fitment and to non-executives
according to the 8th wage negotiations from January 1, 2017, and
revision of pension for BSNL retirees from January 1, 2017.
"Despite
assurances and agreement, the Telecommunication Ministry even after 18
years are yet to return the huge properties of the DoT," Bardhan told
the media here.
According to Bardhan, over 90 per cent of the 6,000 employees and executives of telecom major participated in the strike.
There
are three BSNL circles in the seven northeastern states -- NE Circle
One (Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram), NE Circle Two (Arunachal Pradesh,
Manipur and Nagaland) and the Assam Circle.
