Do not harass ST employees of Maharashtra circle - BSNLEU seeks the intervention of the CMD BSNL.

Based on a flimsy complaint received by the Maharashtra circle administration, 857 ST employees of Maharashtra circle have been subjected to severe harassment. The complaint is that, these employees have entered the service by producing fake caste certificates. All these employees have already completed more than 25 to 30 years of service. At this stage, these employees are being harassed to validate their caste certificates. BSNLEU has cited the relevant rules of the DoP&T and has written to the CMD BSNL, stating that the onus of verifying the caste certificates lies only with the Appointing Authority, and not with the employees. BSNLEU has demanded the CMD BSNL should intervene in this matter and to stop the harassment of ST employees in Maharashtra circle.
