AIGETOA has written to the Secretary (Telecom), Government of India, seeking immediate intervention against the arbitrary implementation of transfers and postings in BSNL without adherence to the approved Transfer Policy and SOPs, complete disregard of genuine hardship cases, and the need for an independent inquiry following the recent unfortunate demise of a BSNL executive who was under severe stress despite being eligible for transfer immunity as the caregiver of a specially-abled child.

The Association has highlighted serious violations of the approved Transfer Policy, lack of transparency, delays in disposal of transfer representations, and non-consideration of genuine hardship cases. It has urged DoT to conduct an independent inquiry into the recent transfer exercise, review all pending hardship cases, ensure strict implementation of the approved Transfer Policy, fix accountability for policy violations and delays, and introduce systemic reforms to restore transparency, fairness and humanitarian consideration in the transfer process.
