Bathinda,
April 26 Members of the Joint Forum of BSNL Officers Association
continued their hunger strike at the BSNL office in Bharat Nagar here
today. They have been pressuring the organisation to accept their
demands regarding pay hike and promotion.
Association convenor Tara Singh submitted a memorandum to higher
officials of the organisation. The protesters said despite several
reminders, their demands had not been fulfilled, so they had decided to
observe hunger strike for three days.
The protesters, including Alok Sahu, Suresh Chander, Hans Raj, Raj Kumar
and Iqbal Singh, said several employees had not been promoted for
years. They said the BSNL officials should be paid as per the revised
and standard pay scales.
Raising slogans against the management, the employees threatened to
intensify their stir in case their demands were not met.
