Anti Corruption Day observed by BSNLEU

Aggressive lunch hour demonstration in front of office
Ludhiana: 19 September 2013: (*Balwinder Singh//Punjab Screen): Activists of the BSNL Employees Union held an aggressive lunch hour demonstration in front of the office of the General Manager BSNL, Bharat Nagar Chowk, Ludhiana against the rampant corruption in BSNL and against bogus billing by the contractors. The call to observe Anti Corruption Day was given by BSNL Employees Union Punjab Circle.
Addressing the gathering Com. Balbir Singh, CS said that a rampant corruption is going in BSNL. The worst affected is the BSNL Ludhiana. The expenditure in BSNL Ludhiana is more than its earnings. Where as in the all other districts of Punjab, it is less than its earnings. The over expenditure is due to the Rampant corruption by some of the officers and bogus billing by the contractors. One of the contractors who have been awarded the contract of housekeeping is raising huge bogus bills since a long time. It has come to the notice of the union that said contractor is billing for watering more than Six Thousand plants in Ludhiana. The number of actual plants is far less than billed for. Interestingly the Sub Divisional officers who have verified the bogus bills were seen planting the plants in their respective premises. The matter was brought to the notice of sr. General Manager Telecom Ludhiana but nothing. In fact the contractors are looting BSNL. The workers of BSNL Employees Union organised massive Lunch hour demonstrations observing Anti Corruption Day all over the Punjab today. 
Com. Balwinder Singh, District Secretary BSNLEU and Com. S.P. Singh , Circle Secy NFT BSNL Employees while addressing the demonstrators told that not only the plants the contractor is raising bogus bills for cleanliness of open area of Ludhiana BSNL to the tune of more than 1.5 lacs monthly. This area he never got cleaned. Similarly he is raising bill for cleanliness of Tables, Almirah, Chairs, doors, Racks which he never got cleaned. The Proprietor of M/s Swift International Sh. Rohit Sabharwal is claiming that he is a social worker and RTI activist. Whereas he is a contractor in BSNL since a long time and to protect his malpractices and monetary interest he is misusing the RTI Act 2005 to frighten the employees. Not only in BSNL he is blackmailing the other departments and individuals. He further said that their agitation will continue till the erring officers and the contractor is not punished.
