Overwhelming Response to the Nationwide Lunch Hour Demonstration call in Protest of Uttarakhand Circle Restructuring Proposal: The nationwide call given by the All Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB) for Lunch Hour Demonstrations against the proposed Uttarakhand Pilot Project under the restructuring scheme received an overwhelming response from the BSNL workforce across the country.

Massive Lunch Hour Demonstrations were successfully organized throughout India on 31/07/2026 with enthusiastic participation from Executives and Non-Executives.

The nationwide protests sent a strong and unequivocal message against the unilateral and anti-BSNL restructuring proposal being implemented through the Uttarakhand Pilot Project.

Although the BSNL Management initially remained indifferent and avoided meaningful dialogue with AUAB, the unprecedented response from employees across the country in general and  the strong and united movement in Uttarakhand Circle in particular, compelled the Management to initiate discussions with the AUAB leadership both at the Corporate Office and in Uttarakhand Circle.

The Executives and Non-Executives have clearly realized that the proposed Uttarakhand Pilot Project is not merely a Circle-specific issue. There is growing concern that similar restructuring may soon be extended to other Circles, as preparatory work has reportedly already commenced in some Circles and at the Corporate Office. Such a move is likely to adversely affect a large number of BSNL employees across the country.

The massive participation in the Nationwide demonstrations reflected the growing concern and resentment among BSNL employees against the proposed restructuring plan. Thousands of Executives and Non-Executives from Corporate Office, Circle Offices, Business Areas, and Operational Areas actively participated in the demonstrations.

AUAB Circle and District leaders across the country played a proactive role in organizing the programmes and addressed the gatherings, highlighting the unilateral approach adopted by the Management without adequately assessing the practical operational requirements. AUAB leaders at all levels  appealed to the employees to remain united and intensify the movement, if required, to safeguard the interests of BSNL and its workforce.

Meanwhile, the BSNL workforce in Uttarakhand Circle continued its historic Full-Day Dharna for the fourth consecutive day, demonstrating exemplary unity, determination, and commitment. This remarkable show of solidarity by Executives and Non-Executives under the banner of AUAB has created significant pressure on the Circle Management. The CGM, Uttarakhand Circle, has made repeated appeals and initiated detailed discussions with the AUAB leadership to resolve the issues through dialogue.

At BSNL Corporate Office, Eastern Court, New Delhi, a massive Lunch Hour Demonstration was organized with enthusiastic participation from Executives and Non-Executives. The gathering was addressed by the General Secretaries and Representatives of the constituent Unions and Associations of AUAB, who strongly condemned the proposed restructuring initiative and reiterated their commitment to protecting the interests of BSNL and its employees.

AUAB CHQ conveys its heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation to all members, Circle/District leaders, and the leadership of all constituent Unions and Associations for making the nationwide Lunch Hour Demonstrations a grand success.

AUAB also salutes to the strongly united Executives and Employees of Uttarakhand Circle and also expresses its sincere gratitude to entire BSNL workforce for extending unwavering solidarity and support to the employees of Uttarakhand Circle.

The overwhelming participation from every nook and corner of the country has once again reaffirmed the unparalleled unity of the BSNL workforce under the banner of AUAB. This united voice against the anti-BSNL restructuring proposal has sent a powerful message to the BSNL Management as well as the Government of India.

AUAB firmly believes that this unprecedented display of unity and determination will compel the authorities to reconsider the proposed restructuring plan and engage in meaningful consultations with the representatives of the employees before taking any decision.
