We observed some new allegations from the lie machine of the Lie Master-

We observed some new allegations from the lie machine of the Lie Master-

Before we delve deep into their allegations, the first which we want to make them remember is – Till August 2020, SNEA was the recognised Association – Till November 2016, occupying the recognition illegally by virtue of being legacy association from DoT, From December 2016 to November 2019 as recognised Association, then from DECEMBER 2019 to AUGUST 2020- again illegitimately occupying the recognised Tag through manipulation in the name of VRS. Thereafter they were thrown out by Public.

Now let’s come to Promotions Part-

Shameless.. isn’t it.. the proclaimed SENA of BSNL.. all these while they were in chair till 2020 and are blaming AIGETOA for their failures.. spineless as they can’t own even their failures.. and successes, they can’t enumerate because it always came at the cost of Youngsters, Competitive Quota people and thereafter BSNL Recruits.

Status from 2011 till February 2015 in JTO to SDE DPC – Only Directions from court was that prepare the list on the basis of 1:1 and remove the discrepancies and supernumerary candidates from the list and execute the promotions. But that was not acceptable to these legacy masters ..They never submitted the list and finally in February 2015 , taking strong cognizance to such blatant defiance of Directions, Hon’ble CAT granted stay. So the only cause for non promotion was the hatred of the proclaimed corners against the promotions of BSNL Recruits.

And honestly speaking, we are grateful to SNEA that they didn’t claimed that battle of Panipat was won by them.

May be that they may not be knowing the count before 1990. Any how it’s their look out, how they learn counting.

As far as the sincere efforts are concerned, all the promotions which they are counting are for their own peers and whenever it came to BSNL Recruits or competitive quota, they always ditched.

Proof In JTO to SDE Promotions of June 2018, even the ST quota was not allowed to be executed by them because all were BSNL Recruits. File which was moved for promotions of remaining List 8 candidates in AGM Cadre was scuttled by the proclaimed legacy corners by going to management and showing the fear of giving one extra increments to these List 8 Executives.. and even in List 8, promotion was stopped where competitive quota and BSNL Recruits started. So their so called love for BSNL Recruits and Competitive Quota People is proved beyond doubt and visible to all.

And isn’t it the shameless show of their weakness – While they could manage the promotions of their peers even by doing Contempt (At Ernakulam in case of JTO to SDE and At Chandigarh for SDE to AGM). And they became so weak in case of promotions to BSNL Recruits and Competitive Quota People that they left everything on the responsibility of AIGETOA.

Any Sane person can neither believe this nor can write this.. but being insane has become a trademark now of the lie master and his followers.

As far as sincerity of AIGETOA is concerned, still they tried to arrange an amicable solution in 2017 and called all the petitioners before management. Even the petitioners gave their undertaking for no objection if all BSNL Recruits are covered as sufficient vacancies were there but again the lie master was at his notorious best. With the help of their cronies in HR, they derailed that exercise also else all who got promoted now would have got promoted in 2017 itself.

However SNEA forgot to tell why ST quota was not executed in DPC in 2018 promotion of JTO to SDE.. and why only half of the list 8 was covered in AGM promotions.. only one reason – Both Contained BSNL Recruits and Competitive Quota people.

SNEA also forgot to tell us – Why they worked against Vacancy Year based Seniority and pushed competitive quota people from list 9 to list 12 and 13 leading to a huge loss for LDCE 2012 candidates.

SNEA also forgot to tell us how they got LDCE stayed from Chandigarh and Guwahati and they never impleaded in a case which was for the benefit of BSNL Recruits and Competitive Quota people – None for Pay Scales, None for SAB, None for Promotions.

Why SNEA always impleaded in the cases which were against the benefit of BSNL Recruits and Competitive Quota people – JTO RR, SDE RR, SDE Seniority, 147 group.

When AIGETOA came in majority, promotions were visible and what the proclaimed corners did, they again derailed the exercise by getting stay from Jabalpur. When that stay got vacated, they tried to get stay from Chandigarh (All these documents are in public domain where they sought stoppage of all promotions in court). Even that was not sufficient then they made complaint to various corners and cited promotion as well as AIEL 2 and AIEL 3 as illegal.

Still since AIGETOA was in the helm of the affairs, instead of crying, we searched for solutions and got successful in executing the promotions.

End Result is visible to all-

Today promotions happened in all streams and even LICE 2013 JTOs are SDE today..it’s only because AIGETOA stands for all.

But the cry mongers are still not happy. Their webupdates itself are open proof of their hatred against BRs and competitive quota people… It always looked like some sad news update when BRs got Promoted Don’t worry, we will make u further cry by getting further promotions executed in all grades as well as streams very soon.

And for the short lived memories of the lie master and his followers we want to remind them-

Reservation complexity still not resolved

Contempt Case still on

But promotions happened and are happening because AIGETOA concentrated on promotións not like you who worked for few groups leaving BRs and competitive quota in lurch.

And by blaming AIGETOA for scuttling CPSU CH despite the fact that all these 20 years, SNEA was in majority, they are openly admitting their lack of sincerity towards a particular group because promotions were stopped for a particular group only and you got the promotions of your peers and contemporaries despite contempt and stay.

How much more you will get down dear proclaimed corner of BSNL, how much more.

And perhaps your blind eyes and dumb brain is unable to read the updates of AIGETOA properly. Very soon LDCE will also be announced and further DPC will also happen so that our SRD Batch, LICE 2014 Batch, LICE 2016 Batch and GATE JTOs of 2017 batch will also be promoted to SDE Cadre and which will open path for more and more JEs to be promoted to JTO cadre and aspire high. We will also ensure promotions in AGM Cadre for all streams very soon. Very soon, all JAOs will also get chance to be promoted to AO cadre.

We are not like You. AIGETOA is for all and will achieve everything together for all.

And as far as your future updates are concerned, all we can say is that:

AIGETOA Focus is on all and hence all will grow

Since your focus is on nonsense, for you .. only nonsense will grow.

Waiting for another fairy tell from the Lie Machine of the Lie Master.

Sincerely Yours

We the AIGETOAans…We the BSNL Recruits…We the competitive quota People

Utterances of SNEA in their website

We observed some utterances of SNEA in their website.

So far, they have made many allegations against AIGETOA… Let’s go one by one !!!

  1. Worked very hard to scuttle the Time Bound Promotion Policy which ensures functional promotion after every 5 years. They scuttled it because it was negotiated by SNEA. The biggest beneficiaries are BSNL Rects. So, the so called BR saviors backstabbed the BRs – As the then MA they should be ashamed that they surrendered before AIGETOA… and this is ridiculous that the so called mighty association is today blaming others for their failures.
  1. AIGETOA worked very hard and made the SDE stagnation period as 12 years from 5 years. Their silence on the issue speaks volumes – The comments are on a draft.. premature assumptions by SNEA has become an habit which speaks volumes about their hurry in concluding things… In fact they are forgetting that Residency Period has once again become 3 years instead of 5 years by them.
  1. In 2007, AIGETOA opposed LDCE promotion demanding direct promotion from JTO to DE/AGM, equating with ITS Officers, instead of JTO to SDE promotion (that was their CPSU CH proposal of 2007) – And SNEA conspired to derail this ..they are calling it a Sin to aspire high . Shows their mindset.
  1. In 2015, CMD offered 6% SAB contribution in the open session of AIC of SNEA at Jaipur in the presence of all General Secretaries. AIGEOTA opposed it demanding full 12% and finally agreed for 3% in 2016-17. A big loss to all BRs. Who is against BRs, it is AIGETOA – In 2015 AIC of SNEA, CMD assured for 6 percent. SNEA was in power till 2020. In 5 years, they couldn’t implement that. This shows volumes about their seriousness on the issue. And also till today, SNEA is unable to tell us what percentage is yet to be achieved. They forgot this in 2007 when they got 30 percent fitment but forgot benefits of BRs ie Standard Pay Scales and 30 percent SAB..SNEA is the root cause of pendencies of such issues.
  1. SNEA demanded E2 and E3 scales from 01.01.2007 during 2nd PRC implementation. AIGETOA scuttled it initially by demanding E2 and E3 from 01.10.2000 itself and later on demanding cascading effect with revision of all other scales by forming a United Forum with some other Assns. Another big loss to all BRs recruited after 2007. Who is against BRs, It is AIGETOA. – The motive of SNEA is very clear after seeing the scales in CPSU proposal. They agreed for E1 in 2014 JTO RRs. Now they are showering Sermons…They were sleeping when other scales from 2nd PRC was being finalized..They became mum when initial two scales were kept Provisional.. AIGETOA is still in court and had kept the issue alive till date by obtaining stay on degradation of RRs and fighting in BSNL also. Can SNEA tell, how many forums they approached for this.
  1. If OTP transfer is so transparent, then why more than 200 requests are pending today or rejected? AIGEOTA should accept it as their failure in bringing transparency? – Again just a presumption..one month TA/TP as donation policy is obsolete now and executives are getting transfer without any hassles .. perhaps that is pinching SNEA. Proof of Transparency is that as on date there is waiting for hard tenure

Other achievements of AIGETOA will be contd tomorrow — We will wait for that ..We love the fairy tells of the Lie machine..

Shameless show of their hatred towards set rules and procedures by proclaimed SENA

In another shameless show of their hatred towards set rules and procedures, the proclaimed SENA is saying that rotational transfer should not be implemented and in earlier letter/write up/meeting they want this gap to be filled up by promoted executives. Means they want that those who are stationed at same places since their birth in this department should not move, while those who are relatively much newer should only be moved out. This shows their prejudiced thought process.

AIGETOA as MA is not for any group but it will stand for transparent policies. The policies which were made in the organisation and were forgotten, we stand for reviving that. We stand for transparency and we will support transparency.

Already through OTP transfer policy, major forte of proclaimed SENA by which they used to terrorize new comers has been broken… Many more to come dear proclaimed SENA.. Many more to come… AIGETOA is determined to remove all the dust from the policies which you have thrown into ashes all these years. You don’t want transparency to prevail in the organisation but we are determined for it.

And which agitation you are talking about (Paper Agitation)… Oh Yes!!! We forgot. You are the postponement association. So in your continuing saga of postponed agitations, u will add this also.

And the most interesting part – You do not consider BSNL Recruits as their own..You are saying that all BSNL Recruits are AIGETOA Members. It should act as an eye opener for all the BSNL Recruits who still vouch for you.

And a small Fact check:

As on 1.8.2020 after 20 years of proclaimed SENA running the affairs in BSNL-

The stagnation in JTO Telecom Grade was 20 years….

The Stagnation in SDE cadre- 17 years (PS- Majority of their batch mates are covered leaving only competitive quota and some others in lurch)

The Stagnation in other streams like Civil, Electrical and Architecture – 20-30 years

As on 1.1.2022, after 17 months of AIGETOA being in majority

The stagnation in JTO Telecom Grade is now hardly 7-8 years except very few, which will be reduced further with our continuous efforts. We assure that very soon Stagnation in SDE cadre and other streams shall also be reduced much below.

The proclaimed SENA wasted precious years of all the Executives making them run after something which was never to come. And when CPSU could have come in 2007, SENA never allowed it to come.

Instead of accepting your guilt and accepting the responsibilities for all the mess which you have created in all these years, you are trying to teach AIGETOA a sermon, which actually is most needed for you.

Let us tell you again,

AIGETOA hai- Jhukega nahi.

We will ensure BSNL HR to be so smooth that executives themselves will never let you come in..

Transparent Transfer Policies, much awaited promotions, Rule 8 streamlining, Rule 9 cases transparency, Draconian clauses which you got put in JTO RRs and made the life of new recruits’ hell has already been resolved. Many more such achievements are to follow, just wait and watch.

AIGETOA is here for constructive work for the inclusive welfare of all executives instead of selective favour like you did… We rest assure you to keep on doing such good works and You continue with your rubbish utterances…

Draft SDE RR issued for suggestions of the Association:

Draft RRs for SDE Telecom and Equivalent cadres has been issued for the comments and suggestion of the association. Draft RR contains 12 years criteria for stagnation beyond the sanctioned strength in line with the restructuring approval of the BSNL Board.

However, we wish to inform that these are draft RRs only and discussion/deliberation on the same with AIGETOA will start. We assure one and all that till the stagnation criteria is properly addressed and brought to the satisfaction level, Association will not allow the RRs to be finalized. This is just a beginning of the acceptance by management that there should be a provision of Time Bound Criteria in the existing RRs. We have to move forward much ahead in this to ensure that the new RRs rewrite a script which treats all equitably and everybody gets a chance to reach higher position with sufficient age profile on their side and to achieve this unparalleled faith and patience is required. We assure one and all that AIGETOA will not fail in its objective to ensure equitable justice for all not like previous history where BSNL Recruits were left behind like orphans.

Reservation in Promotion – Supreme Court refuses to lay down yardstick for granting Promotion Quota to SCs/STs

The Supreme Court on Friday delivered the judgment on the issue relating to reservation in promotions. The Centre and States had urged the Hon’ble Supreme Court to settle the confusion regarding the norms for reservation in promotions saying that several promotions/appointments have been stalled due to ambiguities. A Bench of Hon’ble Justices L Nageswara Rao, Sanjiv Khanna and B.R.Gavaihad reserved judgment on October 26, after hearing the matter. As per report, the bench made following pronouncements today:

  1. Court cannot lay down any yardstick to determine inadequacy of representation.
  2. State is obligated to collect quantifiable data regarding adequacy of representation.
  3. Cadre should be unit for collection for quantifiable data for reservation. The collection cannot be with respect to the entire class/class/group, but it should be relatable to Grade/Category of post to which promotion is sought. Cadre should be the unit for collecting quantifiable data. It would be meaningless if collection of data is w.r.t. the entire service.
  4. The Nagaraj Judgment of 2006 would have a prospective effect.
  5. The conclusion in BK Pavitra (II) approving the collection of data on the basis of groups and not cadres is contrary to the dictum in Jarnail Singh.

With the recognition of ‘cadre’ as the unit for collection of quantifiable data, the court set aside its earlier judgment in the B.K. Pavithra case. 

“As far as B.K. Pavithra case is concerned, we have held that the conclusion of this court approving the collection of data on the basis of groups and not cadres is contrary to the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Nagaraj and Jarnail Singh judgments,” Justice Raopronounced. The court further left it to the State to assess the inadequacy of the representation of SCs and STs for promotional posts by taking into account the relevant factors. 

A review had to be conducted regarding the data for the purpose of determining the inadequacy of representation in promotions, the court ordered. The court left it to the Union government to fix a “reasonable” time for the States to conduct the review.

Rule 8 Cases Status by BSNL CO

Flash News: As requested by AIGETOA, BSNLCO is seeking the status of Rule 8 cases from all the circles. The letter for Rule 8 cases wrt JEs has been issued today. The letter with regard to status of Rule 8 cases pertaining to JTOs is also being issued in a day or two.

With this initiative pendency in the rule 8 waiting List is definitely going to be reduced.

It’s time to Change the Thought Process and shed the EGO

It’s time to Change the Thought Process and shed the EGO

As SNEA preferred to part way from the Forum of Executives Association and went ahead ignoring the decisions taken and signed with MoU with AIGETOA. Still, we never uttered anything negative against them in view of the larger cause associated with united struggle. Despite themselves negating the coalition ethics as usual, we were respectful towards their call , but recent updates on their website clearly proves the fact that the political interests stand much ahead of executive fraternity’s need and interests.

Let us have a close check on the difference of stand and the present status.

Time bound Functional Promotions to executives:

The matter which AIGETOA has been demanding from 2007-08 onwards as a contemporary CPSU hierarchy and in fact AIGETOA only has coined this term in BSNL. We in fact were the prime contributors in 2018 also with respect to the finalisation of the CPSU CH proposal and drafted the practical and acceptable solutions, however at the end, these practical suggestions were watered down by some vested interests to keep their ill motives of keeping BSNL Recruits away from promotions. We warned in advance about the inherent lacunae of the proposal and if not cleared , the policy implementation was bound to get stalled after the very first date of implementation. The same has been proved true as neither DoT nor management could move ahead with the implementation of the policy till date. AIGETOA always advocated for refinement of these proposals by making it compliant to DoP&T norms related to Reservation issue, inclusion of E2 as starting pay scale, removal of 12 years clause as residency period, inclusion of internal fast track mechanism etc in the proposal which was totally ignored and negated by the majority association at that time. We always maintained a stand that if these issues are not included, the implementation of the proposal can never occur and maintained the same stand in charter of demands also.

In the recent minutes issued to Joint forum, the non-viability of the implementation of BEPPRR-2018 is clearly and non-ambiguously mentioned by management. AIGETOA stand has been very clear while drafting the charter of demands that Reservation Guidelines, pay scales and internal fast track mechanism, need to be taken care of and provision for following Govt/ DoP&T guidelines on Reservation, protecting the Constitutional rights needs to be incorporated in the policy. It may also be noted that approved draft proposal of BEPPAAR -2018 have the mention that reservation cannot be extended, a point which was never highlighted by SNEA earlier.

Since the management has categorically stated that they can’t implement CPSUCH in its earlier approved form, alternate method proposed by AIGETOA for ensuring the Time bound Promotion was to go ahead with incorporation of the Maximum Stagnation criteria in all the RRs which will take care of the reservation guidelines as well as making the promotion time bound. This will cover all eligible executives promotion by filling up the available vacancies and the remaining persons once the vacancies are filled up being covered through maximum stagnation criteria. It also maintains the sanctity of reservation rules as executives are personally upgraded to the higher position by carrying their existing post in the higher grade.

Management accepted to explore this option of introducing the maximum stagnation criteria in AGM/CAO/Equivalent grade and also agreed to explore the option of reducing the stagnation criteria in SDE/equivalent grade as a part of the RR modification exercise. This exploration of the alternate method was also part of the agreed MoU between AIGETOA and SNEA but SNEA preferred to backtrack on the same. Our Sister Association is not at all ready to accept the alternate method which is more practical and feasible to implement and want to keep running behind the earlier approved proposal which has not moved even an inch forward.

The previous regime has already wasted 3 and half years in running after this CPSU CH mirage and putting everything to a halt and the only sufferer group were the BSNL Recruits and relatively young competitive quota people from the group absorbed from DoT. AIGETOA after assuming the charge has started with practical and acceptable methods and the result is slowly and steadily visible to all. We requested management to explore the options of executing the promotions in a time bound manner in the ambit of existing framework and we have succeeded in convincing the management for the same. We wanted to keep everyone on united platform while this change and future was re-written, however that unity was perhaps not acceptable to out sister association SNEA.

AIGETOA stand is very clear “ A Bird in hand in better than two on the bush “. Hence AIGETOA is always open to explore practical alternative methods and the results is very much in front of all executives: More than 4500 JTO executives got promoted to SDEs in Telecom ,civil, electrical and Architecture grades in just 6 months (reducing the JTO(T) stagnation from 21 years to 8 years barring few executives). This was being stopped in the name of CPSU CH for more than three years and was still tried to be derailed by them. Having accomplished one major milestone, now we have moved on to the next batches and very soon we will accomplish that. We want to remain practical and don’t want to build castle in the air like what our previous regime was doing.

Now we are moving towards executing the promotions in other grades of SDE/AO/DE/AGM/CAO/DGM equivalent and very soon we will achieve that also. We further reassure that nobody will be left behind and we will make all efforts to achieve the promotions for all the eligible ones.

Response from BSNL Management on the charter of demands and if implemented, the impact which it can make on the career of executives:

Response from BSNL Management on the charter of demands and if implemented, the impact which it can make on the career of executives:

After discussion on the various demands raised by the forum, management has responded towards the demands as below:

a. Time bound promotions – The proposal of BEPARR-2018 is not feasible due to reservation matter – a categorical and unambiguous statement by management. Management agreed to consider reducing the stagnation period in JTO grade and incorporation of the stagnation criteria in other grade RRs as a part of the RR modification Exercise in consultation with the association.

If this stagnation criteria is implemented in line with what we envisage, the promotions for all existing as well as future batches will become time bound without violating the reservation guidelines. Through stagnation criteria, the existing post is carried forward to next grade through personal upgradation. As the executive carries his own roster position to the higher grade, the representation as per constitutional guidelines remains intact. Hence the post based and time bound promotion goes hand in hand and the sanctity of the constitutional provisions and government guidelines are also maintained.

Now it’s for executives to decide, which one is better – A policy which is more implementable, carries the same advantages as CPSU but is in line with government and DoP&T norms of reservation or a Policy which has not moved an inch forward despite presence of same board and same majority association for almost 2 years and still almost 4 years after approval with new board.

b. Restructuring Roll back – Instead of rolling back management agreed to consider the career progression aspect by agreeing for introduction of maximum stagnation criteria after discussion with association.

c. Implementation of Standard E2 and Standard E3 pay scales for JTO/JAO and SDE/AO Equivalent The need is well accepted by management and management agreed to aggressively pursue with DoT to ensure E2 for JTO/JAO/Equivalent and E3 for SDE/AO/Equivalent grades. CMD BSNL Firmly agreed to pursue with DoT for early implementation. A positive result is expected in sight as this anomaly will be a big show stopper for BSNL/MTNL merger.

The Sister Association must explain how they propose to take care of the scale part by agreeing on CPSU CH. They have accepted E1 for JTO/JAO in CPSU policy and have also agreed to keep Sr SDE post at E3. If they say that E1 will be replaced by E2 for JTO/JAO/Equivalent and E3 for SDE/AO/Equivalent, are they asking for cascading effect with presence of Senior SDE post at E4 etc which will derail the whole process of resolution of standard pay scale issue for initial two scales. Hence it is quite clear that scale part cannot be resolved if the CPSU CH is implemented in its current form.

It seems our Sister Association once again wants to derail the Pay Scale issue in the name of this CPSU CH proposal. (It is worth mentioning here that they celebrated the victory of JTO scale degradation to E1 through JTO RR-2014 and agreed E1 Scale incorporation in BEPPAR-2018 ). Earlier, they agreed for E1A and E2A instead of E2 and E3 for JTO and SDE grades just to have their pie of securing pension liability from government. They tried to befool BSNL Recruits by telling that they have been able to secure EPF in lieu of this for BSNL Recruits while it is well known fact that EPF is statutory liability and BSNL Could have never avoided it. After this they again dumped the standard scales for JTO/JAO and SDE/AO Equivalent scales and 30 percent SAB at the time of implementation of 2nd PRC.

It was AIGETOA which kept the hopes alive, both through legal means as well as through organisational means. It was AIGETOA which challenged against degradation of scales and got a stay from Ernakulam. It was AIGETOA which won the standard pay scales case for BSNL Recruits at Chandigarh and ensured that benefits of E2 cannot be denied to them. It was AIGETOA which forced management to agree for E2 scales for JTO/JAO Equivalent and it is AIGETOA which has again brought the pay scale issue back to focus not only at BSNL but also at DoT.

If E2 scale is approved, majority of Pay issues will be resolved and the newly recruited and promoted JTOs/JAOs will be immensely benefitted.

We fail to understand why our sister association wants to derail the pay scale issue also in the quest of this non feasible CPSU CH.

d. Internal Fast track promotion & No lateral Entry above JTO/JAO – The need of internal fast track promotion was agreed upon by the management. They even have shown their affirmation to replacement of DR DGM Recruitment also by Internal Fast Track Mechanism by creating few more posts in internal fast track quota for reaching to DGM post.

AIGETOA is pursuing a firm and clear career progression plan for executives which envisages each and every BSNL executive to aspire for higher posts of SAG/HAG levels. If our young batches get the opportunity of becoming DGM on fast track basis, definitely they can reach to GM/CGM level with sufficient age on their side and can also aspire to BoD posts.

But it seems same is not very comfortable for our Sister Association SNEA as they want to continue with the existing MT RRs as requested by their CHQ OB in the forum meeting with management.

e. Regular DGM promotions & relaxations to CAO promotions, No LA/Adhoc etc

Management informed that the complexities involved in the regular promotions at CAO/AGM/DGM level because of pending SLP at Hon SC , the regular promotions can be feasible only after the judgment.

We suggested certain alternative course which can be taken to ensure these promotions and the methods by which an amicable settlement can come within the ambits of the legal restrictions. Management agreed to explore the possibility by seeking the legal opinion possibility for extending promotions in these grades at the earliest. The onetime relaxation for CAO promotion can be checked after such decision/ judgement as Management Committee is empowered to decide on amendments in the policy.

It seems that the same is also not acceptable to our sister association SNEA and the only song which they are singing is BEPPAR-2018 on 01-07-2018 ( Though the tune is changed now) despite knowing fully well that it cannot be implemented in the current form.

f. Settlement of SDE Reversal issue:

The matter will examined for early settlement through out of court discussions.

Perhaps this also was not acceptable to SNEA and that’s why instead of pursuing, they drifted away.

We would like to once again affirm and assure all the executives that we have made much greater inroads on to the career progression plan, pay issues resolution and the 30% sab. We sincerely hope that results of our efforts will be visible to all very soon. We do understand our responsibility and the fact that in case of any deviation from agreed decisions by management, we will immediately react with full vigour.

Claimants may be many but actual work is always done by us – THE AIGETOA and its followers.
