Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, met Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, Director (HR) today, and discussed about the issue of the harassment of 857 employees belonging to the scheduled category, who are being harassed by the Maharashtra circle administration, in the matter of validation of their caste certificates. The General Secretary firmly demanded that the caste certificates should be validated only through the district magistrate / district collector, as per DoP&T orders. Presently, the Maharashtra circle administration has taken the stand that the certificates should be validated through the Scrutiny Committees formed by the Maharashtra state government. The Director (HR) assured to look into the case. The case could not be discussed with the CMD BSNL today, since he is not in the Corporate Office.
