In the meeting, speakers highlighted the long pending grievances of the pensioners in J&K Telecom Circle. They rued the department’s biased attitude towards the pensioners and elderly persons, who are in their eighties/nineties and the willful/dilatory tactics adopted by the administration in resolving their genuine grievances for which the pensioners association has already served a notice to sit-in-starvation with candle light in front of CGMT chamber/office.
Their legitimate demands include settlement of thousands of fake, fictitious, exaggerated and untransparent telephone bills issued to the hundreds of BSNL and DOT pensioners in J&K, revision of pension of BSNL pensioners, settlement of indoor medical reimbursement claims as per the policy/procedure and time limits fixed by the BSNL Corporate Office and empanelment of hospitals for cashless medical treatment.
