Eligible candidates deprived of appearing in LICE due to non-availability of vacancies – BSNLEU writes to Director (HR), BSNL.

BSNLEU (CHQ) has brought to the notice of the Director (HR), BSNL, that a large number of eligible employees are being deprived of appearing in the Limited Internal Competitive Examination (LICE) due to the non-availability of sufficient vacancies in the cadres of JE, JTO, and TT. It has been observed that vacancies have drastically reduced over the years, particularly due to the abolition of a large number of posts following VRS-2019 and the subsequent manpower restructuring across various cadres. As a result, in several circles, LICE examinations have not been conducted for a long time, denying eligible employees their rightful promotional opportunities. CHQ has drawn the attention of the Director (HR) to this serious issue and has submitted a letter requesting appropriate and immediate corrective measures. The union hopes that the Management will take prompt and positive action to address this anomaly and ensure equal promotional opportunities for employees across all circles.
