BSNL Employees Union Demands: Release AICPIN March 2024
The General Secretary of the BSNL Employees Union, P. Abhimanyu, penned a letter to the Secretary of the Ministry of Labour and Employment to address the concerning delay in releasing the All India Consumer Price Index (AICPIN) for March 2024. The purpose of the letter was to urge the prompt issuance of the AICPIN press release and to take necessary actions to ensure this. One of the key highlights of the letter emphasized the non-payment of the revised IDA rates effective from the 1st of April, 2024.
The employees have been waiting for the revised IDA rates to be implemented, but due to the delay in the release of the AICPIN figures by the Labour Bureau for the month of March 2024, the DPE has not been able to announce the revised rates as scheduled. This unprecedented delay has caused significant concern among the employees. In response to this issue, BSNLEU has officially communicated with the Secretary of the Ministry of Labour, urging immediate intervention and appropriate actions to address this critical matter.
