Meeting with Shri Niteshwar Kumar, PS to Hon’ble MOS (C):

Shri Niteshwar Kumar, PS to Hon’ble MOS (C) granted a meeting to AIBSNLEA today (30.05.2017) at 18.15Hrs:

Accordingly GS, FS, AGS (HQ) and CS Karnataka Circle met and discussed regarding limiting the replacement of E1A by E2 and E2A by E3 by modifying BSNL’s earlier proposal of up-gradation of subsequent pay scale E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7 to provide pay parity among the executives in BSNL

We requested for his kind intervention for the replacement of E1A by E2 and E2A by E3 and up-gradation of subsequent pay scale E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7 as per the BSNL’s earlier proposal dated 06.06.2016.

We resented against the BSNL’s modified proposal for limiting replacement of E1A by E2 and E2A by E3 only under the pressure some Associations which will create disparity in the pay scales and will disturb the pay scales hierarchy in case the subsequent pay scale are not up-graded i.e. E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7. We further explained that executives in the scale of E5 are stagnated for the last two years. 

He appreciated our concern and assured to discuss the matter with the concerned authorities in DoT / BSNL and thereafter he will call us for further discussions. 

We extended our sincere thanks to him for granting us a meeting. We also handed over the letter addressed to Hon'ble MOS (C) in this regard.

BSNL plans satellite phone service for all in 2 years

State-run BSNL is planning to extend satellite phone services for all citizens in two years that can work at any corner of the country and remain immune to the breakdown of mobile services during natural calamities. 

"We have applied to International Maritime Organisation. It will take some time to complete the process. In 18-24 months, we will be in a position to open satellite phones service for citizens in a phased manner," BSNL Chairman and Managing Director Anupam Shrivastava told PTI. 

Traditional mobile networks cover around 25-30 kms around towers and can transmit signals to phones placed equal to or below the height of the tower. 

BSNL has started satellite phone service using INMARSAT service which will be initially offered to government agencies and later extended to citizens in a phased manner. 

The service will cover areas where no networks are present and be provided by INMARSAT which has 14 satellites.
