BSNLEU condemns the double standard of BSNL Management.

BSNLEU welcomes the decision of the BSNL Management to recruit fresh engineers in the cadres of JTO (Telecom) and Senior Executive Trainee (SET) after a long gap. Though the vacancies notified are very limited, the move is a positive step for strengthening BSNL. However, it is unfortunate that while recruiting outsiders, the Management has virtually stopped Compassionate Ground Appointments (CGA) and is also refusing to relax restructuring norms for conducting departmental competitive examinations (LICE) in JTO, JE and TT cadres. As a result, employees in many circles are being denied promotional opportunities. BSNLEU strongly condemns this double standard approach and demands immediate reopening of Compassionate Ground Appointments, relaxation of Restructuring norms for conducting LICEs, conducting Internal Examinations in all circles without discrimination and equal opportunities for employees and eligible dependents within BSNL.
