It was highlighted by the team that Hon’ble Court has just asked for a corrected eligibility list which BSNL has failed to produce till date.

  2. From the status, it was very clear that the associations who have been projecting themselves as the saviors’ in this case, if they would have shown some positive action on ground instead of misleading executives, the matter would have been resolved way back. However, CHQ took the concurrence of the whole matter and decided to speak with the petitioners to resolve the impasse and taking due care that neither the LDCE passed executives, nor the seniority-cum-fitness eligible executives are at loss. AIGETOA will soon come out with solution to end the whole complications with regard to Seniority-cum-fitness as well as LDCE promotion to the grade of SDE (T).
