Com.P.Abhimanyu,GS, BSNLEU and Com.C.K.Gundanna,AGS, met Shri P.K.Purwar, CMD BSNL today and discussed the issue of cancellation of 3 JTO LICEs held in Punjab circle, for the vacancy years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18.The leaders expressed their deep concern over the cancellation of the 3 LICEs and demanded that the Corporate Office letter, cancelling these 3 LICEs should be immediately withdrawn. The CMD BSNL told the leaders that, Punjab is a surplus circle in JTO cadre and there were no posts for promoting the candidates of these 3 JTO LICEs. The leaders questioned when the results of these 3 JTO LICEs conducted in other surplus circles like UP (East), UP(West), Bihar, West Bengal, etc., are declared and promotions are already given, why the 3 JTO LICES held in Punjab circle alone are cancelled? Further, the leaders told the CMD BSNL that, the problem of non-availability of posts can very well be overcome by administrative measures like diversion of posts, creation of supernumerary posts, etc. They appealed to the CMD BSNL to kindly review the entire issue. Finally, the CMD BSNL assured that the issue would be looked into.

कर्मचारियों और पेंशनरों को फाइबर आधारित मुफ्त रेशीडेंशियल लैंडलाइन कनेक्शन प्रदान करना - BSNLEU ने एक बार फिर सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को पत्र लिखा।

जैसा कि सभी साथियों को पता है,  कॉपर केबल आधारित लैंडलाइन कनेक्शन बंद हो रहे हैं, इसलिए BSNLEU ने मांग की है कि सेवारत कर्मचारियों और पेंशनरों को फाइबर आधारित मुफ्त रेसीडेंशियल लैंडलाइन कनेक्शन प्रदान किया जाना चाहिए। BSNLEU की मांग के जवाब में, कॉर्पोरेट कार्यालय ने सेवारत कर्मचारियों को दो विकल्प दिए हैं। पहला विकल्प निर्धारित रियायत के साथ एफटीटीएच कनेक्शन प्राप्त करना है। दूसरा विकल्प मोबाइल सिम कार्ड लेना है। इस प्रकार, बीएसएनएल प्रबंधन ने सरकार द्वारा सेवारत कर्मचारियों और पेंशनरों को दी जाने वाली मुफ्त रेसीडेंशियल लैंडलाइन कनेक्शन की सुविधा को छीन लिया है। इसलिए, BSNLEU ने आज एक बार फिर सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को पत्र लिखकर एक और विकल्प प्रदान करने की मांग की है जिसके माध्यम से कर्मचारी फाइबर आधारित मुफ्त लैंडलाइन कनेक्शन का लाभ उठा सकें।

As all comrades are aware, since the copper cable based landline connections are being closed down, BSNLEU has demanded that the serving employees and pensioners should be provided with fibre based Free Residential Landline connections. As a response to BSNLEU’s demand, the Corporate Office has given two options to the serving employees. The first option is to avail FTTH connection with the prescribed concession. The second option is to avail a mobile SIM Card. Thus, BSNL Management has taken away the facility of Free Residential Landline connections given to the serving employees and pensioners, by the Government. Hence, BSNLEU has once again written letter to the CMD BSNL today, demanding to provide one more option through which the employees can avail fibre based Free Landline connection.

As already informed, the Management has cancelled the JTO LICEs of Punjab circle held for the vacancy years 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18.
