BSNLEU has long been taking up the issue of denial of JAO promotion to Com.Vivek Kanwar of Himachal Pradesh circle. The JAO LICE was conducted in Himachal Pradesh for the vacancy year 2016, without carrying forward the unfilled SC post of the JAO LICE conducted in 2012. Had the unfilled SC post of 2012 been carried forward, then Com.Vivek Kanwar would have got JAO promotion in the LICE held in 2016. BSNLEU is continuously writing letters to the Corporate Office on this issue. Today, Com.Animesh Mitra, President and Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, discussed this issue with Shri P.C. Bhatt, PGM(EF), Corporate Office. The leaders expressed their unhappiness over the extreme delay on this issue. The PGM(EF) replied that, based on the letter received from BSNLEU, the EF Branch of the Corporate Office has already written letter on 27.12.2024, calling for the details from the CGM Office of Himachal Pradesh circle. However, the CGM Office, Himachal Pradesh circle has not given the reply so far.  Today, in the presence of BSNLEU leaders, Shri P.C. Bhatt, PGM(EF), spoke to the officers in the CGM Office, HP circle and directed them to immediately send the details called for by the Corporate Office.

As is already intimated by the CHQ, the Wage Revision Committee meeting scheduled to be held on 10.03.2025 has been postponed. The Corporate Office has issued letter for this postponement. This postponement has become necessary since the Chairman of the Wage Negotiating Committee is going for a short training. The CHQ is taking efforts to hold the next meeting at the earliest.

Results of the JTO LICEs conducted in Punjab circle for the vacancy years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, are not declared due to the pendency of court cases. But, when the court cases came to an end, instead of declaring the results, the Management cancelled all the 3 examinations. Ever since then, BSNLEU is continuously knocking the doors of the Corporate Management, requesting to declare the results and to send the successful candidates for training. It is learnt that, the CGM, Punjab circle, has recently sent letter to the Corporate Office requesting permission to declare the results of the JTO LICEs conducted for the vacancy years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18. In this backdrop, the CHQ has once again written letter to the CMD BSNL today, requesting to declare the JTO LICE results and to promote the successful candidates by creating supernumerary JTO posts.
