Issue revised norms for the sanctioning of posts in various cadres for the circles with hilly and far-flung terrains – BSNLEU writes to the Director (HR).

After implementation of the VRS, the Corporate Office has issued revised norms for the sanctioning of posts in various cadres. In this, no difference is made between the circles with hilly and far-flung terrains and the circles located in the plains. Many parts of the circles like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir, remain snow-laden for many months of the year. Similarly, the North-Eastern circles are having far-flung terrains. Naturally, more manpower is required to man the services in the above mentioned circles with hilly and far-flung terrains. BSNLEU has written letter to the Director (HR) today, requesting him consider issuing revised norms, for the sanctioning of posts in various cadres, in respect of the above mentioned circles with the hilly and far-flung terrains.
