Consideration of Career Progression for Outstanding Sports Personnel – CHQ writes to Director (HR), BSNL.

The issue regarding Career Progression for outstanding sports personnel was discussed in the Formal Meeting held with the Director (HR) on 16.07.2025. Even after the lapse of nearly five months, no positive action has been taken by the Corporate Office. Com. Animesh Mitra, GS, BSNLEU, once again raised this matter in his meeting with Director (HR) on 25^th November, 2025. He expressed his dissatisfaction over the negative approach of the Admn. Section of the Corporate Office in denying promotion to the eligible sports personnel. During the discussion, he pointed out that the request pertains to only six candidates from four circles, for which a favourable decision should reasonably be taken by the Management. After giving a patient hearing, the Director (HR) directed the PGM (Admn.) to re-examine the matter and take appropriate action.
