He mentioned about BSNL Co decision of the revised norms of Medical reimbursement with voucher and extention of Medical allowance from April 2018 .This is provided when the financial condition of BSNL is in critical position. It is nothing but our Association's achievement. Similarly we are vigorously  pursuing with DOT and Dept of pension to get the pension revised at par with CG pensioner. After our 20th June Demo . when our GS met Member services he told that they decided to pursue our demand. When the Dept of Pension is willing to consider our demand if it is received from DOT with proper recommendation but DOT is linking with wage revision. We will pursue it and try to de-link pension revision from wage revision and we will achieve the goal. Till we achieve we will fight.
