General Secretary, BSNLEU meets PGM (Estt.), BSNL CO — Discusses key pending issues of Non-Executives..

Com. Animesh Mitra, General Secretary, BSNLEU, met Shri S.P. Singh, PGM (Estt.), BSNL Corporate Office, on 08.08.2025 and pressed for the early resolution of the following long-pending demands:

1. Career Progression for Outstanding Sports Personnel.

The General Secretary drew attention to the guidelines issued by the Administrative Section of the Corporate Office on granting career progression to outstanding sports personnel. However, the Management’s interpretation differed from the union’s understanding. After detailed discussions with the PGM (Admn.), it was agreed that the matter would be taken up further in presence of the DGM (Admn.) to arrive at a final decision.

2. Change of Training Centre for JEs Promoted to JTO.

It was pointed out that around 22 newly promoted JTOs are being sent for training to Ghaziabad or Jabalpur, the locations are highly inconvenient for the candidates from southern states. The General Secretary urged for a change in training centres to reduce hardship. The PGM (Estt.) assured that the matter would be examined in consultation with the concerned officers in the Training Centre.

3. Issuance of DA Orders for Casual Labourers.

The DoP&T issued DA revision orders in June 2025, effective from 01.01.2025, for Central Government employees and BSNL’s casual labourers are also entitled to the same. However, the Corporate Office has yet to endorse these orders. The General Secretary expressed strong dissatisfaction over this delay and urged immediate issuance of the order so that casual labourers receive their DA arrears with the August 2025 salary. In response, the PGM (Estt.) confirmed that the file has already been forwarded to the Finance Section for approval.
