Issuance of Presidential Orders for officials whose recruitment process was initiated in DoT and who were appointed after the formation of BSNL – CHQ writes to Director (HR) for immediate action.

It is unfortunate that DoT has denied the issuance of Presidential Orders to those candidates who were recruited in BSNL but whose recruitment processes were initiated by DoT. Although the matter was discussed in the last National Council meeting as well as in the formal meeting, the issue still remains unresolved. CHQ has drawn the attention of the Director (HR) to two specific cases, namely Shri N. Balakumar, AOS(T), Salem BA, Tamil Nadu Circle and Shri Ashok Kumar, Driver, Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh (West) Circle. In both cases, DoT has denied issuing Presidential Orders, even though the recruitment processes of both officials were initiated prior to the formation of BSNL. It is hoped that BSNL Management will take up the matter with DoT and ensure justice in these cases.
