Details of the meeting held today, between the PGM(Estt./Admn./Rectt.) and General Secretary, BSNLEU..

Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, met Shri S.P. Singh, PGM(Estt.) & PGM(Admn.) & PGM(Rectt.) today and discussed the following long pending issues:-

1. Extension of Special Concessions and Incentives for the employees posted in Kashmir Valley.

The DoT has endorsed the DoP&T order in March, 2025 itself. BSNLEU is repeatedly taking up this issue. However, the Corporate Office has not issued the necessary order for this. The General Secretary demanded that the Corporate Office should issue expeditious order on this.

2. Holding Special JTO LICE for the Draughtsmen cadre.

It is a long pending demand of BSNLEU that one more Special JTO LICE should be conducted for the Draughtsmen of the Civil and Electrical wings. This demand was accepted in the 26^th meeting of the National Council held on 27.02.2012. Still, this decision of the National Council not been implemented. Due to the continuous efforts taken by BSNLEU, recently the Civil wing has sent vacancy details to the Recruitment Branch. However, Recruitment Branch has raised the point that there is no provision in the present JTO Recruitment Rules for conducting the Special JTO LICE. The General Secretary explained that, the Special JTO LICE for the Draughtsmen cadre originally held in the year 2008 itself was done in relaxation of the Recruitment Rules and now also the exam should be conducted in relaxation of the Recruitment Rules.

3. Holding confirmation exam for Senior Office Associate cadre.

BSNLEU has taken up this issue long back and no action has been taken up by the Corporate Office. In today’s meeting, it was once again insisted upon that, the Corporate Office must issue necessary letter to the circles for holding the confirmation exam.

4. Miscalculation of JE vacancies in J&K circle.

In J&K circle, 17 JEs have resigned and left BSNL. However, it has been brought to the notice of the CHQ of BSNLEU by the J&K circle union that, the names of these 17 JEs still continue in the J&K circle strength. As a result of this, sufficient vacancies are not arising in the JE LICE. The General Secretary demanded that, the Corporate Office should take necessary action in this regard.

5. Career Progression of left out outstanding sports persons.

BSNLEU has already written letter that, due to the wrong interpretation of Corporate Office rules, Ms. Nandita Datta, sports person of West Bengal circle has been denied of her career progression. The name of Shri Ram Kumar of Punjab circle, has been duly recommended by the CGM for career progression. However, it seems his name is omitted by the Corporate Office in considering for career progression.   

Detailed discussion took place on all the above mentioned issues. The General Secretary, BSNLEU, handed over to the PGM (Estt.) copies of BSNLEU’s letters already written to the Management. The PGM(Estt.) assured to take needful action on all the issues.
