The emergent online meeting of the AUAB was held on 08/08/2026 to review the agitation programmes conducted in July against the Uttarakhand Pilot Project.
The meeting expressed concern over the restructuring of Circle and BA administrations being initiated by BSNL Management in some Circles without discussions with the unions and associations.
The meeting also discussed the 3rd PRC, the need to exert greater pressure on the DoT and the Government for its early approval, and the strengthening of the AUAB. After detailed discussion, the following decisions were taken:
- Circle level AUAB meetings will be organised to intensify the struggle for the 3rd PRC and against the Uttarakhand Pilot Project.
- A letter will be addressed to the Minister of Communications and the DoT, highlighting the adverse impact of the proposed restructuring of Circle and BA administrations.
- Regarding the repeated appeals from BDM for the formation of a JAC comprising BDM and AUAB, the meeting unanimously decided to strengthen unity under the recognised banner of AUAB for the 3rd PRC and against arbitrary restructuring. A reply will be given to the BDM leadership explaining the need for joint struggles under the AUAB banner. BDM will also be invited to attend an AUAB meeting to discuss future joint programmes. The Chairman and Convener of BDM will be requested to re-join the AUAB and strengthen the united struggle.
- The meeting also decided to await the response of BSNL Management on the restructuring proposal, as assured by the Director (HR) and CMD BSNL.
- In this connection, a physical meeting of the AUAB will be held on 21/08/2026 to decide the future course of action on the 3rd PRC and restructuring of the Circle and BA administration.
