An important meeting of the available General Secretaries of AUAB was held on 08/04/2026 to discuss the current scenario regarding the IDA payment, which has been due since January 2026. After threadbare discussions, it was decided that AUAB will organise a countrywide demonstration programme on 20/04/2026 demanding the release of the IDA arrears along with salary of April 2026.
Accordingly, a memorandum on the subject has been sent to the Secretary DoT, CMD BSNL and Secretary DPE to convey our strong resentment over the undue delay in releasing the IDA arrears. The further course of the agitational programme will be finalised in the next AUAB meeting, likely to be held on the evening of 20/04/2026.
Further, as per the decision taken in the last AUAB meeting, two separate memoranda on the issues viz. Posting of Regular CMD BSNL and settlement of the Chennai/Tamil Nadu issues have also been submitted to the Management/ Government of India to draw their urgent attention and further course of action on these issues will also be discussed in the next AUAB meeting.
