A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF JUSTICE:
A Heroic Saga of Compassion, Courage and Unyielding Leadership.
There are moments in the life of an organisation that transcend ordinary achievements and become part of its proud history. Today is one such moment. The long night of anxiety, uncertainty and injustice has finally ended for 183 Scheduled Tribe retirees of Maharashtra Circle . After five agonising years of waiting, they have at last received their long-denied retirement benefits. It is not merely the release of pensionary dues ¡ it is the vindication of justice, the restoration of dignity, and the triumph of constitutional values.
Behind this historic victory lies one of the most determined, relentless and inspiring struggles ever waged by SNPWA. From the very day this shocking injustice surfaced, our beloved General Secretary, Com. Jogi, refused to remain a silent spectator. His heart has always beaten for the deprived, the neglected and the voiceless. Whenever injustice strikes the weak, especially those belonging to the most marginalized sections of society, he considers it not just an organisational issue but a personal mission.
Thus began an extraordinary battle. He knocked on every door that mattered. He pursued the matter relentlessly with the BSNL Management , including the Maharashtra Circle administration. When those efforts met with resistance, he fought before the CGCA and the CCA, Maharashtra . When even these avenues failed because of rigid and negative interpretations, he carried the battle to the Department of Telecommunications itself, where fresh hurdles and untenable theories sought to perpetuate the injustice.
Many would have accepted defeat. Com. Jogi never did. His indomitable spirit refused to surrender before bureaucracy or adversity. He took the battle further to the Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, and the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes . Every authority was approached with facts, conviction and moral courage. Every setback only strengthened his resolve.For nearly five years, he fought this battle with remarkable patience, unwavering faith and extraordinary perseverance, sustained by one firm belief, that justice may be delayed, but it must never be denied .
Then came the long-awaited turning point.With the appointment of Shri Amit Agarwal , Secretary, Department of Telecommunications, and Shri Manish Lodha, Senior DDG (Establishment), a new chapter began. They approached the issue with fairness, sensitivity and an open mind. Having understood the grave injustice that had persisted for years, they acted with admirable promptness and courage. Their timely intervention broke the deadlock and paved the way for the swift restoration of the legitimate rights of all the affected ST retirees.
For this exemplary act of justice and humane administration, SNPWA records its profound gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to these distinguished officers.No tribute would be complete without acknowledging the magnificent contribution of _SNPWA Maharashtra Circle, led by Com. Gaykar and his dedicated team . They stood like a rock behind the struggle, never allowing the morale of the affected comrades to weaken. Their unity, perseverance and steadfast commitment greatly strengthened the mission of the CHQ.
Today, as 183 ST comrades and their families celebrate the receipt of their rightful retirement benefits, every member of SNPWA shares their joy with pride and emotion.
This victory belongs not only to those 183 comrades. It belongs to every pensioner who believes that truth ultimately prevails. It belongs to every member who believes that an organisation exists to protect the weakest among us. It belongs to every activist who refuses to compromise when justice is at stake.
Above all, this victory reminds us how fortunate we are to have a leader like Com. Jogi , a leader who never measures success by applause, but by the tears he is able to wipe away; a leader who never abandons a just cause however difficult the road may be; a leader who inspires confidence because he himself never loses hope.
This glorious achievement is yet another golden feather in the crown of SNPWA. It will forever remain a shining chapter in the history of our Association and a beacon of hope for every pensioner facing injustice. It proclaims to the world that when truth is pursued with courage, compassion and unwavering determination, no injustice is too mighty to be defeated.
Heartiest congratulations to all our beloved ST comrades of Maharashtra Circle.
Long Live SNPWA! Long Live Com.Jogi's Inspiring Leadership! Long Live Justice, Equality and Solidarity !
- CHQ President.

GS SNPWA addresses to CMD/ BSNL urging upon him to immediately withdraw arbitrary action of initiating disciplinary proceedings against ST Retired Comrades of MH against Statutory Rules of DOP& PW. Also informing him that, in view of innumerable Judgments of Various Tribunals, Hon. High Court of Mumbai, and Hon. Supreme Court, and also orders of DOT withdrawing its earlier order of 31-01-2025, BSNL is left with no other option but to withdraw unconditionally fabricated charge sheets issued three years after retirement on unfounded and frivolous grounds. These concocted charge sheets have become infructuous in view of series of Judgments of Various Tribunals, Hon. High Court of Mumbai and Hon. Supreme Court.
