Com.P.Abhimanyu,GS, BSNLEU and Com.C.K.Gundanna,AGS, met Shri P.K.Purwar, CMD BSNL today and discussed the issue of cancellation of 3 JTO LICEs held in Punjab circle, for the vacancy years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18.The leaders expressed their deep concern over the cancellation of the 3 LICEs and demanded that the Corporate Office letter, cancelling these 3 LICEs should be immediately withdrawn. The CMD BSNL told the leaders that, Punjab is a surplus circle in JTO cadre and there were no posts for promoting the candidates of these 3 JTO LICEs. The leaders questioned when the results of these 3 JTO LICEs conducted in other surplus circles like UP (East), UP(West), Bihar, West Bengal, etc., are declared and promotions are already given, why the 3 JTO LICES held in Punjab circle alone are cancelled? Further, the leaders told the CMD BSNL that, the problem of non-availability of posts can very well be overcome by administrative measures like diversion of posts, creation of supernumerary posts, etc. They appealed to the CMD BSNL to kindly review the entire issue. Finally, the CMD BSNL assured that the issue would be looked into.
