GS-AIGETOA writes to the CMD on ambiguity of the establishment letter and reorganization of sanctioned strength of executives’ grades:

GS-AIGETOA writes to the CMD BSNL regarding severe resentment among executives due to the ambiguity in the letter issued by the Estt Cell, CO New Delhi for collection of the post VRS data from Circle. The letter content is reproduced here for reference:

He emphasize that the content of the letter i.e. last columns wording is misleading
and gives an impression that all excess post may be abolished which is neither in line with VRS Policy nor in the interest of executive fraternity and hence clarification should be issued. GS also presented the figure of executive’s strength in various grades of Telecom and Finance as detailed below:

*The above are approximate figure as on 01.02.2020

The figure shows that sufficient number of vacancies exits in various grades and hence he demanded promotion for all who have completed the residency period in the preceding grade. He emphasized that if promotion is executed with today vacancies position, JTO upto 2013-14 will get promoted, SDEs upto list-9 will get promoted and all JAO/AO, who have completed residency period will get promoted (even then vacancy will remain available in finance wing).

The VRS has given an opportunity to the management to offer the executives a satisfactory career progression at least in remaining period and let them to work more aggressively towards the company to realize the dream of the government, employees and public to bring back the glorious days for BSNL once again.

Enquiry into the various lapses and wrongful acts of Recruitment Section and the agency associated with MT exam :

AIGETOA CHQ team today met GM Recruitment and GM SR and discussed on the discrepancies observed and various things which have been done by Recruitment Section in violation of the set rules and current procedures with regard to the current MT Recruitment. AIGETOA apprised the GM Recruitment of prevailing unrest in the minds of executives due to the preferential treatment given to some and leaving others which has put a huge question mark on the whole examination process. Time and again we have highlighted that this recruitment’s is having motives other than recruiting middle level management. As per our
assessment many candidates who have registered and could not pay fee due to various reasons have been denied their due rights by accepting the fees from some candidates beyond the last date. More over circulation of candidates list in social media with their Emails, mobile numbers, examination centres, registration numbers etc also requires enquiry from independent agencies. Various agencies contacting the candidates for coaching and question bank, many questions of mock test papers circulated by these agencies were found in exact replica in the main question paper emboldens our belief that some wrongful act is being executed and it appears that Recruitment Cell must have been involved in all such lapses which are surely done with wrongful intent. We are quite aware that the candidates who registered but could not pay fee are going to
represent in large numbers. And such type of activities without any set rules and activities will definitely lead many to CVC and other agencies.

AIGETOA once again assures it’s rank and file that our pursuit for promotions and enquiry against the lapses in ongoing MT exam will be on till we achieve justice.

Letter submitted by AIGETOA seeking enquiry into the various lapses and wrongful acts of Recruitment Section and The agency
associated with this exam. The letter is self explanatory and gives sufficient insight into the haphazard manner and the lapses committed by the authorities.
