In Maharashtra circle, the process of verifying the genuineness of the caste certificates of the ST employees, has already been started by the circle administration. This is being done based on a complaint that, the employees have entered service by producing fake caste certificates. As a result, the ST employees are being harassed. BSNLEU has already taken many steps to stop their harassment, in the name of verification of caste certificates. Today, BSNLEU has written a letter to the Director (HR), demanding to exempt such of those ST employees, who are appointed under Compassionate Grounds, PWD quota and regularisation of TSMs / Casual Mazdoors scheme.
