Postal,
telecom services hit
Customer services in postal and telecom sector were
affected on Tuesday with non-executive class of India Post and Bharat Sanchar
Nigam Limited (BSNL) participating in the nationwide strike called by 11
central trade unions on Tuesday.
Customer services such as delivery and counter
operations in post offices were affected in Bangalore East, Shimoga, Hassan,
Belgaum and Raichur according to S.S. Manjunath Circle Secretary All India
Postal Employees' Union (AIPEU).
He said that over 5,000 employees belonging to
various trade unions abstained from work in protest against the anti-labour and
anti-people policies of the Centre, thus affecting services.
The situation at the Customer Service Centres of
BSNL was no different. People found it difficult to pay their bills and get
their mobile phones recharged as 16,000 non-executive staff of BSNL abstained
from work in support of CTU demands.
Speaking to The Hindu, C.K. Gundanna,
Circle Secretary, BSNLEU, Karnataka Circle, said that over 16 trade unions to
which non-executives of BSNL were affiliated participated in the strike, and
counter services were completely disrupted.
