25-04-2012 CHQ NEWS:BSNL management lands Company (BSNL) in bankruptcy for the first time- brings Company under market liability and debt by taking a loan of Rs. 1383.8 crores from market (Union Bank of India). Nearly Rs.63.3 crores repaid. This is beginning of serious crisis and we have to gear up to defeat the moves of the management of Company to cripple the growth of the Company. CMD and board of directors are squarely responsible for this deadly situation by not addressing and resolving critical issue of absorption of ITS. Be ready for a do or die struggle to save the Company from becoming bankrupt and expose BSNL management for its inefficiency, incompetence and deep rooted corruption.

Declination of revenue growth in the recent past in Dharmapuri SSA. This issue was discussed and analyzed in length. Steps to be taken by the administration and Association for the improvement of Revenue growth were arrived.

Shortage of funds for essential and unavoidable expenditures in DPI SSA was discussed. This is highly demotivating the executives and CS emphasized that NEED BASED MINIMUM funds for essential and unavoidable expenditures should be arranged. Mere re allotting the funds received from Circle will not solve the issue. The funds allotment by the circle shall be on real basis. Hence minimum funds for essential and unavoidable expenditures should be ensured for day to day execution. GM assured that this issue will be addressed to Circle office. We will also take up the issue with Circle office.

Inter union or association rivalry should not affect the revenue growth of DPI SSA. All should work with a team spirit to achieve the goal. GMT assured that necessary steps will be taken in future for a positive and smooth atmosphere among unions / associations.
