पंजाब सर्कल में आयोजित जेटीओ एलआईसीई के परिणामों की घोषणा न होना - बीएसएनएलईयू ने सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को लिखा।

2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17 और 2017-18 के रिक्ति वर्षों के लिए सभी सर्किलों में जेटीओ एलआईसीई आयोजित किए गए थे। इन सभी जेटीओ एलआईसीई के परिणाम पहले ही घोषित हो चुके हैं और सफल उम्मीदवार पहले ही जेटीओ बन चुके हैं। लेकिन, कोर्ट में मामला लंबित होने के कारण पंजाब सर्कल में ऐसा नहीं हुआ। कोर्ट केस 11.10.2023 को समाप्त हो गया है. इसके बाद प्रबंधन ने केवल 2014-15 में आयोजित जेटीओ एलआईसीई का परिणाम घोषित किया है। रिक्ति वर्ष 2015-16, 2016-17 और 2017-18 के लिए आयोजित जेटीओ एलआईसीई के परिणाम अब तक घोषित नहीं किए गए हैं। प्रबंधन का कहना है कि, रिस्ट्रक्चरिंग स्कीम के तहत जेटीओ की रिक्तियां पहले ही खत्म की जा चुकी हैं। यह स्वीकार्य नही है। बाकी सर्किलों को जो भी मौका दिया गया है, उसे पंजाब सर्किल को देने से इनकार नहीं किया जाना चाहिए। बीएसएनएलईयू ने सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को पत्र लिखकर उनके हस्तक्षेप और उपरोक्त रिक्ति वर्षों के परिणामों की शीघ्र घोषणा की मांग की है।
