is not eligible for promotions as of now, if desired by Hon. CAT one post can
be reserved for applicant. But advocate of applicant submitted that some more

Overwhelming Response to the Nationwide Lunch
Hour Demonstration call in Protest of Uttarakhand Circle Restructuring Proposal: The
nationwide call given by the All Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB) for
Lunch Hour Demonstrations against the proposed Uttarakhand Pilot Project under
the restructuring scheme received an overwhelming response from the BSNL
workforce across the country.
Massive
Lunch Hour Demonstrations were successfully organized throughout India on 31/07/2026 with
enthusiastic participation from Executives and Non-Executives.
The
nationwide protests sent a strong and unequivocal message against the
unilateral and anti-BSNL restructuring proposal being implemented through the
Uttarakhand Pilot Project.
Although
the BSNL Management initially remained indifferent and avoided meaningful
dialogue with AUAB, the unprecedented response from employees across the
country in general and the strong and
united movement in Uttarakhand Circle in particular, compelled the Management
to initiate discussions with the AUAB leadership both at the Corporate Office
and in Uttarakhand Circle.
The
Executives and Non-Executives have clearly realized that the proposed
Uttarakhand Pilot Project is not merely a Circle-specific issue. There is
growing concern that similar restructuring may soon be extended to other
Circles, as preparatory work has reportedly already commenced in some Circles
and at the Corporate Office. Such a move is likely to adversely affect a large
number of BSNL employees across the country.
The
massive participation in the Nationwide demonstrations reflected the growing
concern and resentment among BSNL employees against the proposed restructuring
plan. Thousands of Executives and Non-Executives from Corporate Office, Circle
Offices, Business Areas, and Operational Areas actively participated in the
demonstrations.
AUAB
Circle and District leaders across the country played a proactive role in
organizing the programmes and addressed the gatherings, highlighting the
unilateral approach adopted by the Management without adequately assessing the
practical operational requirements. AUAB leaders at all levels appealed to the employees to remain united and
intensify the movement, if required, to safeguard the interests of BSNL and its
workforce.
Meanwhile,
the BSNL workforce in Uttarakhand Circle continued its historic Full-Day Dharna
for the fourth consecutive day, demonstrating exemplary unity,
determination, and commitment. This remarkable show of solidarity by Executives
and Non-Executives under the banner of AUAB has created significant pressure on
the Circle Management. The CGM, Uttarakhand Circle, has made repeated appeals
and initiated detailed discussions with the AUAB leadership to resolve the
issues through dialogue.
At BSNL
Corporate Office, Eastern Court, New Delhi, a massive Lunch Hour Demonstration
was organized with enthusiastic participation from Executives and
Non-Executives. The gathering was addressed by the General Secretaries and Representatives
of the constituent Unions and Associations of AUAB, who strongly condemned the
proposed restructuring initiative and reiterated their commitment to protecting
the interests of BSNL and its employees.
AUAB CHQ
conveys its heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation to all members,
Circle/District leaders, and the leadership of all constituent Unions and
Associations for making the nationwide Lunch Hour Demonstrations a grand
success.
AUAB also salutes
to the strongly united Executives and Employees of Uttarakhand Circle and also
expresses its sincere gratitude to entire BSNL workforce for extending
unwavering solidarity and support to the employees of Uttarakhand Circle.
The
overwhelming participation from every nook and corner of the country has once
again reaffirmed the unparalleled unity of the BSNL workforce under the banner
of AUAB. This united voice against the anti-BSNL restructuring proposal has
sent a powerful message to the BSNL Management as well as the Government of
India.
AUAB
firmly believes that this unprecedented display of unity and determination will
compel the authorities to reconsider the proposed restructuring plan and engage
in meaningful consultations with the representatives of the employees before
taking any decision.

AUAB continues the agitational Call with
LHD all over India: Online meeting of unions and associations held on 30/07/2026
to discuss the Pilot Project issue of Uttarakhand. The agitating members and Circle
Secretaries of Uttarakhand have participated in the meeting. After a lengthy
discussion on the issue the leaders decided to request the management to roll
back the Pilot Project in Uttarakhand immediately and also requested the
Management to call the all leaders of unions and associations to discuss the
issue.
All Unions and Associations unanimously
decided to make the lunch hour demonstration at all levels on 31/07/2026 by
opposing the Pilot project in Uttarakhand and also requested the
Circle/District Secretaries and activists to make the twitter campaign a big
success on 03/08/2026.
BSNL Executives & Executives
Observe Call Attention Day with Black Badges against the Uttarakhand Pilot
Project: Responding to the call of the All Unions and Associations of BSNL
(AUAB), BSNL Executives and Non-Executives across the country observed Call Attention
Day by wearing black badges to register their strong resentment and determined
protest against the BSNL Management's unilateral decision to implement the
Uttarakhand Pilot Project.
The
nationwide protest reflects the growing anger of employees over the betrayal of
management's from its commitments and its continued disregard for the
legitimate concerns of the workforce regarding the Uttarakhand Pilot Project.
In
Uttarakhand, 100% of the Executives/Non-Executives have launched an indefinite
non-cooperation movement and are holding a massive dharana, demonstrating their
unwavering resolve against the adamant and indifferent attitude of Management towards
implementing the pilot project despite widespread opposition.
The AUAB
CHQ extends its warm greetings and heartfelt thanks to all grassroots members,
office-bearers, and cadres for their spontaneous, enthusiastic, and united
participation, which made today's nationwide programme a grand success. The
overwhelming response once again demonstrates the unity, strength, and
determination of BSNL employees in defending their rights and protecting the
interests of the organization.
To
further intensify the struggle, the AUAB has decided to organize massive
demonstrations at every workplace and at all GM/CGM offices on 31/07/26 along
with the submission of memorandums highlighting the burning issues of BSNL Executives/Non-Executives,
with the immediate withdrawal of the Uttarakhand Pilot Project as the foremost
demand.
AUAB
calls upon every Executive and Non-Executive to remain united, strengthen the
ongoing agitation, and make the forthcoming programmes a resounding success
until the management withdraws the Uttarakhand Pilot Project and addresses the
genuine concerns of BSNL employees. United struggle alone will ensure
justice.

Management: One side CMD BSNL has assured to
discuss the issues related to Restructuring plan pilot project of Uttarakhand
Circle along with CGM Uttarakhand and
meeting was scheduled on last Friday 24/07/2026, but was not held.
It was
expected that this meeting will be held in this week with Committee members of

But
nothing has been done for discussions as assured by CMD BSNL, on the contrary
forceful action of betrayal, CGM Uttarakhand has acted one step forward for
implementation of this pilot project in the following manner.
1. CGM Uttarakhand has submitted fresh proposal to BSNL CO by quoting
that proposal is discussed with AUAB Uttarakhand, but discussions are not held
with AUAB Uttarakhand by CGM Uttarakhand.
2. Further no discussions are held with AUAB CHQ by PGM Restructuring
& Director HR as directed by CMD BSNL in meeting dated 21/07/2026.
3. Continuing betrayal more bluntly, CGM Uttarakhand has moved second
step forward by calling Options for AGMs and DGM posting at newly defined Zonal
Offices. DGM <<<>> AGM<<<>>
4. Most disappointing is that these options are called at own cost of
the Executives and no money will be paid for such dislocation in the interest
of service.
5. It is further disappointing that CGM Uttarakhand has written letter
for closure of facility of Immunity available for Office Bearers of Unions and
Associations for forceful posting of all
Executives and employees at new Zonal Centres and at Gram Panchayat & Block
level
In
protest of Betrayal of CGM Uttarakhand and cheating action of management, AUAB

It is
crystal clear that BSNL Management is trying to destroy BSNL by forceful
implementation of this one sided, biased and loss making proposal for shifting
total failure of the Management on employees by posting all executives and
employees to Gram Panchayat and Block level and indirectly holding them
responsible for the failure of management to meet expectations of Government in
maintaining Bharat Net Project.
