Denial of terminal benefits to VRS optees, due to non-issuance of Vigilance clearance - General Secretary discusses with the Sr.GM(Estt.),BSNL CO.

CHQ has already written to the Sr.GM(Estt.) of the BSNL Corporate Office, the case related  to the non-payment of terminal benefits to two of the VRS optees of Palakkad SSA, in Kerala circle, on account of non-issuance of vigilance clearance. The withholding of the vigilance clearance in the instant case is violative of the DoP&T orders on the subject. Today, Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, discussed the issue telephonically with Shri Saurabh Tyagi, Sr.GM(Estt.), BSNL Corporate Office. The Sr.GM(Estt.) replied that the matter is already taken up with the DoT, seeking necessary intervention, so that the VRS optees do not suffer harassment on account of non-payment of terminal benefits. He further stated that a reminder has already been sent and that one more reminder is under issue.
