Massive Countrywide Hunger Fast and Demonstrations held All Over India for Early Approval of Third Pay/Wage Revision: In response to the agitational call given by the All Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB), a Massive Relay Hunger Fast by GSs/CSs, CHQ/Circle Office Bearers along with Lunch Hour Demonstrations at OA/BA/Circle and CHQ were held at nook and corner of India on 01/10/2026 i.e. on 26^th BSNL Foundation Day. Hundreds of Executives/Non-Executives with AUAB leaders raised strong voice in support of single demand for early approval and implementation of the Third Pay/Wage Revision for BSNL Executives and Non-Executives.

Reports received from all OAs/BAs and Circles confirmed enthusiastic participation and impressive mobilisation of AUAB Office Bearers and members of various constituent Associations/Unions with strongest ever unity and never seen before the determination to secure their legitimate demand for third Pay/Wage Revision.

The leaders of AUAB all over India along with Majority of the Executives/Non-Executives conveyed greetings and wishes on 26^th BSNL Foundation Day to each other but boycotted any celebrations arranged by the certain insensitive officers in BSNL.

It was nice to see that in partial response to the appeal/request by AUAB to BSNL Management, not to arrange any celebrations on BSNL Foundation Day or postpone it till approval of Third Pay Revision, no formal letter was issued by BSNL Corporate Office for celebrations on 26^th BSNL Foundation Day.

But till few insensitive Circle/BA Heads have arranged the celebrations at their level and continued with utter insensitivity. But their insensitivity was responded by the Executives and Non-Executives with strongest unity as the majority of them boycotted such celebrations and remained absent from celebrations.

At BSNL CO Delhi, CMD BSNL addressed gathering covering majority of GMs/PGMs who are getting benefits of 7^th CPC, but the BSNL Executives and Non-Executives remained absent from this address of CMD BSNL and expressed their anguish and unrest against undue delay by DoT in approval of their Pay Revision. The said boycott continued even after personal appeal from some individuals that this is not celebrations and it is just an address of a few minutes.

The same was situation all over India and except few selfish Executives/Non-Executives, which can be counted at finger tips who are not left even with minimum required sensitivity towards his/her own delayed Pay/Wage Revision were seen roaming alongside of BA/Circle Heads and supporting these insensitive Circle/BA Heads for their celebrations of 7^th & 8^th Pay Revision.    

At CHQ level, the Relay Hunger Fast at Eastern Court, Janpath, New Delhi, witnessed the participation of senior leaders of AUAB constituent Associations/Unions participated in the Relay Hunger Fast and Lunch Hour Demonstrations.
