Yesterday, the Corporate Office has issued a letter, with cooked-up figures, to show that, the country wide dharna organised by the AUAB on 21.06.2022, is a failure. It is a pity to note that, the Management has stooped so low to damage the image of the unions and associations, as well as the AUAB. Instruction is also given in that letter, to impose pay cut on the participants of the dharna. The AUAB issued notice for this agitation 16 days in advance. However, the Management did not care to hold any discussion on the charter of demands. The Supreme Court of the country has already passed orders on many occasions, holding that it is the fundamental right of the citizens to participate in peaceful agitations, for expressing their protest. Still, the Management does not want to allow even a peaceful dharna in BSNL. This only shows the dictatorship of the BSNL Management. BSNLEU strongly condemns this letter and demands it’s immediate withdrawal. 

On 22.06.2022, General Secretary, BSNLEU, has once again written letter to the CMD BSNL, with detailed reasonings for holding the JTO LICE with the vacancies that were available as on 31.01.2020. Based on this, Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, met Shri Saurabh Tyagi, PGM(Estt.) yesterday and discussed the issue. He pointed out that, when JTO to SDE promotions have been given considering the vacancies of 2019, 2020 and 2021, the JTO LICE, to be held on 07.08.2022, should also be conducted with the vacancies of 2019, 2020 and 2021.

BSNLEU has already written a detailed letter, demanding immediate issuing of Presidential Orders to 140 RMs of Darbhanga district, Bihar circle. These RMs were issued with Temporary Status prior to the formation of BSNL and were appointed as Regular Mazdoors in 2002. Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, met Shri Saurabh Tyagi, PGM(Estt.) yesterday. The General Secretary explained the issue in detail to the PGM(Estt.) and demanded that the BSNL Corporate Office should immediately take up the issue with the DoT for the early issuing of Presidential Orders to all 140 Regular Mazdoors of Darbhanga district.

BSNLEU is continuously demanding that, the JTO LICE and all other LICEs of the Non-Executives should be conducted, based on the vacancies that were available as on 31.01.2020 (i.e., prior to the implementation of VRS). BSNLEU is raising this demand based on the fact that, the JTO to SDE promotions were given based on the posts that were available prior to the implementation of the VRS, i.e., 31.01.2020. Today, the Corporate Office has sent a reply to the General Secretary, BSNLEU, wherein it is stated that due to abolition of large number of posts through VRS and Restructuring, no JTO LICE vacancies are available for 2018 and 2019.
