Attendance through mobile apps. – Management creating unnecessary pressure to the Non-Executives in some circles.

Management is unnecessary creating a pressure to the Non-Executives to accept the newly introduced attendance system through mobile app. It has come to our notice that in some circles, the local administration is creating pressure on the Non-Executives by issuing order on the subject. Though, the circle unions in those circles have conveyed their protest to the Chief General Managers. CHQ had conveyed our protest by giving a letter to Director (HR) on 28.07.2025, on the subject. On 29^th July, Com.Animesh Mitra, GS, clarified our stand to the Director (HR) in a meeting to representatives of All Unions and Associations. In that meeting, Director (HR) assured that new system will not be mandatory for the Non-Executives. In our last National Council meeting and the Formal meeting also with the Director (HR), BSNLEU raised the demands to supply the mobile handset to the Non-Executives but the Management did not consider our demand on the plea of the financial crisis of BSNL. But, it is unfair without supplying the mobile handset the Management should not create any pressure to the Non-Executives to give their attendance through mobile apps.
