SAD & SHOCKING NEWS:
SNEA (I) Maharashtra Circle deeply mourns on all of sudden heavenly
exit of Com. S. R. Ram, beloved Treasurer of SNEA (I) Mumbai. Comrades, it is panic day for
SNEA (I) Maharashtra Circle as we have lost a great solider of SNEA (I)
Mumbai. Com. Shyamlal R Ram was
working as AD CRM EB MH Mumbai and was holding responsible position of Treasurer
for SNEA (I) Mumbai. Com. Ram was on personal visit to his Home Town Saidpur
Dist. Gazhipur (UP) where he was admitted in the local hospital for sudden
illness on 22/05/2013 and was released from hospital. But while on way back to
his home, he started pains again and was readmitted in hospital but it did not
yield positive results and he passed away in the hospital in the morning hours
of 23/05/2013.
Sudden exit of Com. S.R. Ram at age of just 56 years has shocked all
the comrades and it is deep loss to his bereaved family. His exits has created
big vacuum in SNEA (I) Mumbai and is irrecoverable loss to entire SNEA (I)
family. BSNL also lost its very active, sincere and dedicated Officer. Com. Ram
was known for his pleasant & friendly appearance and he was loved by one and
all. He has large friend Circle throughout Maharashtra Circle. He has very
active role in building SNEA (I) Mumbai with grass root level activities and his
contribution & dedication cannot be expressed in words. SNEA (I) Maharashtra
prays almighty to give courage to family members of late Com. S.R. Ram to come
out of this life time crises and prays for heavenly space and peace for departed
soul of Com. S.R.Ram.
We appeal to all comrades in Circle Office Mumbai to join the
Condolence Meeting to pay homage to beloved Com. S. R. Ram at 1130 hrs on
24/05/2013 at 2nd floor Conference Hall, BSNL Admn Bldg. Santa Cruz
(W) Mumbai.
24 MAY 13: The complaint of SNEA (I) Maharashtra Circle dated 25/03/2013
addressed to CGMT MH and copes marked to all concerned is taken note by
Vigilance Cell of BSNL and now GM TR Mumbai has issued orders for Recovery of
the illegal grant of free calls beyond limits on FSRTC in Maharashtra Circle.
Letter clearly says that neither the calls made above the free limits
are eligible for waiver nor such limit can be enhanced at any circumstances and
additional charges will have to be paid by individual
Official/Officer. It is important to note that such cases have been confirmed by TR
Section and hence orders for recovery are issued in general and no specific
mention of cases and names of officers are given who have made deliberate loss
to BSNL for personal benefits misusing their official position.
Copy of Orders for recovery of grant of Free Calls beyond Limits. <<<>>>
Copy of Complaint made by SNEA (I) MH on this subject. <<<>>>
Comrades, SNEA (I) MH will not leave this complaint in between and
this is first step to recover the BSNL Money, and we will pursue the complaint
till the entire Money is not recovered from such selfish Officers and
departmental action for “misappropriation of BSNL funds” is not taken against
such culprit officers who have taken personal benefits and have granted personal
benefits only to their well-defined group of “chamachas”
24 MAY 13: BSNL
is incipient sick when it is question of legitimate payment to its bonafide
absorbed employees whereas it suddenly becomes healthy when vested interests
having no stake in the Company are to be paid- nonsense, ridiculous, deplorable,
shameful, irrational.
Comrades,
come on to the streets to smash, expose and defeat this sinister conspiracy of
DOT bureaucracy and BSNL management.BSNL
is led by plunderers out and out committed to mortgage the Company and its
employees to satisfy vested interest ITS at any cost whatsoever. Can we accept
such indignity and ignominy? We have to decide. It is a real do or die moment
for all of us. Let us teach bureaucracy in DOT and BSNL management a befitting
lesson for their insensitive, irresponsible, shameful and deplorable act of
denigrating and humiliating BSNL employees and mortgaging the Company and
satisfying vested interests. Make
the Organizational programme on 5th June and indefinite strike from
12th June a monumental success and send BSNL Management to
barracks.
24 MAY 13: Out
rightly condemn the retrograde orders issued by BSNL Management to extend the
benefits of pay and allowances to vested interests deployed to BSNL. Don’t allow
said retrograde issued to be implemented unless our just and legitimate issue of
merger of 9.4% IDA is resolved. Bring BSNL to a grinding halt. Don’t allow such
humiliation and trampling over of absorbed BSNL employees. Siege BSNL on
5th June and bring it to a grinding halt from 12th June
till our legitimate issue of merger of 9.45 IDA is
resolved.
Comrades
get fully ready for a real do or die struggle by making the Organizational
programmes on 5th June and 12th June an astounding success
so as to convey a befitting lesson to deplorable, insensitive, irresponsible and
prejudiced and vested interest BSNL Management and bureaucracy in DOT- We deplore and condemn both bureaucracy in
DOT and BSNL Management for issuing retrograde order dated 21st
May,2013 extending all the benefits of pay and allowances as are admissible to
government officers of the equivalent grade to ITS deployed to BSNL. This
shameful and ridiculous action of BSNL Management to extend benefits to
deputationists and deny legitimate merger of 9.4% IDA with basic to absorbed
employees has no parallels. BSNL management has completely lost propriety
and legitimacy to lead BSNL and cannot escape its responsibility by maintaining
that it has cleared the proposal of merger of 9.4% IDA and DOT is holding it up.
BSNL
Management is so much insensitive, deplorable and irresponsible that it did not
even wait for the outcome of the proposal sent by DOT to BRPSE regarding merger
of 9.4% IDA with basic and instead issued the orders extending benefits of pay
and allowances to ITS deployed to BSNL. Disgraceful on part of both bureaucrats
in DOT as well as BSNL Management. BSNL is led by plunderers who are out and out
mortgaging the Company and killing its employees and we have to drive out these
plunderers from the Company.
Comrades,
It all depends on our solidarity, unity and commitment and our capacity to hit
back ferociously to salvage our dignity and comprehensively defeat and drive out
those who want to slaughter us and sell the Company to satisfy vested interests
under all Circumstances and at all costs. We have to stand up like a rock and
hit back. We have absolutely nothing to lose, nothing to fear. Come out
fearlessly, courageously and comprehensively defeat humiliation inflicted on us
by DOT/BSNL Management. Justice will eventually and surely prevail and
conspiracy will be definitely exposed and defeated.
24 MAY 13:
Meeting with Director (Establishment)/DOT: We
understand reliably that DOP&T has cleared a reference received by it from
DOT regarding distribution of TES Gr B vacancies between seniority cum fitness
and competitive quotas. BSNL had sent a note to DOT to clarify as to how TES Gr
B vacancies are to be distributed between seniority cum fitness and competitive
quotas. Thereafter, DOT sent proposal to DOP&T for clarification. This
association has had been vigorously pursuing to get necessary clarification from
DOP&T. We requested Director (E)/DOT to track the file and send the
necessary clarification to BSNL. Director (E) assured that he will keep a close
watch on the file and send it as quickly as possible to BSNL. With this
clarification, one of the major hurdles in the way of JTO to TES Gr B seniority
cum fitness promotions would be over.
24 MAY 13:
Meeting with DDG (TPF)/DOT:
President
along with AGSs, Com Dahiya and Com Wankhede, met DDG (TPF)/DOT, Sh Shahbaz Ali,
and apprised him about retrograde orders issued by BSNL Management extending all
the benefits relating to pay and as admissible to the government officers of the
equivalent grade to ITS deployed to BSNL while denying legitimate merger of 9.4%
IDA with basic to absorbed employees of BSNL. DDG (TPF) felt extremely concerned
about such discriminatory moves of BSNL Management and assured that government
Directors in BSNL/Board are getting very tough on such moves.
We also informed DDG (TPF) about the outcome of our discussions with
Secy/BRPSE. DDG (TPF) mentioned that the decision to refer the issue of merger
of 9.4% IDA with basic was taken by nodal agency of DOT and Dot/Finance has
always been very positive and favoured merger of 9.4 % IDA with basic to
employees of BSNL. DDG (TPF) assured that DOT/finance will do its level best for
early settlement of this issue. We expressed our profound thanks to DDG (TPF)
for his positive approach to resolve this issue.
23 MAY 13: Comrades throughout Maharashtra Circle actively participated in the
Lunch Hour Demonstrations to register their protest against undue delay by BSNL
and DoT in granting 78.2% IDA merger as per the agreement signed between the BSNL
Management and BSNL Unions/Associations on 12.06.2012. We have received reports
from different districts wherein hundreds of comrades have participated in the
Lunch Hour Demonstrations. SNEA(I) Maharashtra congratulate to one and all &
conveys sincere thanks to all the comrades who have actively participated in
Lunch Hour Demonstrations and made it grand success showing their determination
to fight against continued injustice by BSNL and DoT to its own
employees. PHOTOs of LUNCH HOUR Demonstrations <<<>>>

and BSNL Unions/Associations on 12.06.2012 will be held throughout Maharashtra
toady. Comrades, nearly one year period passed, but the said file is being
shunted from One Table to another Table and by now it is clear that DoT as well
as BSNL management are playing with our bread and butter. One side our legitimate demand is being rejected by indirect methods
for last Five years on name of financial crises and other side and at the same
time, the officers on illegal deputation cum deployment in BSNL are granted
allowances without any reference to Financial crises of BSNL, this is extreme
case of biased approach and injustice to its own employees by BSNL as well as
DoT managements and needs its exposure by one and all. This double stand needs opposed by every employee and officer of BSNL
by active participation in today’s Lunch Hour demonstrations, which is first
step of this agitational programme. SNEA (I) Maharashtra appeals all the
comrades regardless of Unions/Associations to come forward and register their
strong protest against this dual policy with active participation and make it
grand success.

22 MAY 13: Meeting
with Director (HR): President and AGS, Com A. Dahiya met Director HR and had
discussions on following issues:
A.
Expeditious
action to amend BSNL MS RRs to make non engineering graduates eligible for STS
promotions in Civil/Electrical streams:
Director (HR) was apprised in detail about immediate need to amend BSNL MS RRs
so as to bring complete parity in functional promotions between Civil/Electrical
and Telecom/Finance streams by suitably and quickly amending BSNL MS RRs. We
impressed upon Director (HR) that parity in Pay scales and EPP has already been
brought about between Civil/Electrical and Telecom/Finance streams. Only in area
of functional promotions, serious and unwarranted discrimination continues to
exist which needs to be addressed as quickly as possible, we informed Director
(HR). Director (HR) was very
positive and indicated that BSNL Management is considering making appropriate
amendments in RRs to end existing discrimination and bring about parity in all
respects. We pleaded with Director (HR) to take immediate decision and he
assured that positive action to amend RRs would be initiated very soon. However,
Director (HR) asked us to gather inputs from CPWD in this regard as to what
mechanism CPWD is following in this regard. Very shortly, we shall submit our
latest feedback from CPWD to Director (HR). CHQ will vigorously pursue the
issue.
B.
Membership
verification:
We
categorically informed Director (HR) that it is completely unfair and
unreasonable on the part of BSNL Management to delay initiating membership
verification among executives. For the last three years Association has been
pleading for membership verification and Management is simply ignoring our
repeated pleas in this regard. Association will not allow any further delay in
conducting membership verification and action on war footing must be initiated
to conduct membership verification. Director (HR) assured that Management is
very keen and serious to conduct membership verification as quickly as possible
and GM (SR) has been instructed to finalize modalities to conduct membership
verification as early as possible. We suggested that membership verification
should not be delayed beyond six months in any case whatsoever since it is
illegitimate not to conduct membership verification when number of Associations
are representing executives.
C.
Expeditious
action to complete JTO to TES Gr B and TES Gr B to STS promotions:
We
informed Director (HR) that since major legal hurdles in the way of conducting
DPCs for both promotions are cleared, it is high time that expeditious action is
taken to pave the way for holding DPC for both promotions as early as possible.
We solicited personal intervention of Director (HR) and requested him to closely
monitor progress on both DPCs personally. Director (HR) was emphatic in
mentioning that Management is very eager to complete both DPCs as early as
possible and assured that he will personally monitor progress in respect of both
DPCs.
In
the morning, we had detailed discussions with GM (SR) for finalizing the
modalities for membership verification as early as possible so as to complete
the entire process not exceeding six months.

management has by and large conducted the examination in transparent and clear
manner. The Hon. PB CAT further directed the BSNL management to complete the
process within 2 months. Detailed judgment running in about 70 pages is awaited within a
couple of days.
Association impleaded in the case and strongly pleaded that this said
examination should not be cancelled. With this judgement of PB CAT, New Delhi,

following issues:
a.
78.2% IDA merger with basic w.e.f 01.01.2007: Assn informed CMD about
the meeting took place on 16.05.2013 with Secretary/BRPSE and the stand of BRPSE
on this issue. Further we requested CMD to take up the matter with Secretary,
DoT for approval of the same. CMD informed that he had already taken up the
matter with Secretary, DoT and further he will speak to Secretary in this regard
for early settlement.
b.
Membership verification among Executive Associations: We very
strongly demanded the membership verification among Executive Associations and
requested CMD to expedite the verification process. CMD informed us that
Management has already taken a decision to conduct membership verification among
the Executives Association and the process will be started shortly. Immediately
CMD directed DIR (HR) to expedite the process of membership verification.
Comrades throughout the country should get ready for the membership verification
in the shortest time.
17 MAY 13: Latest status of 78.2% IDA fixation: GS, President and AGS Com V M Wankhade met Ms S Rawla, Secretary,
BRPSE with prior appointment and discussed about the status of the proposal of
DoT on the subject matter. Sri V K Jindal, Director/BRPSE was also present in
the meeting. Secretary and Director/BRPSE informed us that no such proposal was
received by BRPSE from DoT so far. Further Secretary/BRPSE categorically told us
that BRPSE is dealing with the revival of sick PSUs and its revival as a whole
package and not dealing with small issues like this. As far as pay revision
related issues are concerned, BRPSE is only dealing with sick PSUs where the pay
revision is not implemented since 1992. BSNL is not at all a sick PSU and hence
BRPSE is not having any role in the matter. Now the revival of BSNL is referred
to a GoM, a higher body and hence BRPSE is having no more role to play on
revival of BSNL. She categorically told us that this is an internal matter of
DoT and it has to be decided internally only. Even if the proposal is send to
BRPSE, BRPSE will take this stand and shall return the matter back to DoT,
informing DoT that the issue has to be decided internally by DoT.
Secretary/BRPSE further stated that this is high time to keep the employees
highly motivated when BSNL is facing decline in growth and revenue and such
issues has to be decided as quickly as possible to keep the morale of the
employees. By this our stand that this issue need not be referred to BRPSE as
BSNL is not under the purview of BRPSE vindicated.
From this development it is clear that some vested interest in DoT is
deliberately delaying the decision on 78.2%. Their intension was very clear from
the day the agreement was signed between BSNL Mgt and the BSNL
Unions/Associations. More than 11 months passed. Comrades, this is high time to
respond organisationally and unless and until we are protesting in the strongest
way, this issue will not be resolved by DoT. Get ready for that. Prepare for the
organizational actions from 22.05.13 and indefinite strike from 12.06.13 till
the orders are issued by DoT.

long stay list in Maharashtra Circle are requested to go through this list
carefully and send their detail representations without any delay for
corrections of their stay, age if any or about names of other officers having

16 MAY 13: BSNL CO calls for stay particulars of 25 long stayed SDEs from each Circle/Unit, counting their stay from JTO cadre onwards and who are below the age
of 55 years as on 31 March 2014. In a letter giving clear guidelines in counting stay of
executives, no consideration is given for excluding stay in MTNL Mumbai from
long stay as being managed by Mr. Chakrapani Adiga, DGM HR & Admn and his team for years together just to exclude their own names from
long stay list of officers and safeguard themselves from the long stay transfer
thereby taking personal benefits using official position and sending their
juniors in stay out of Maharashtra Circle to hard tenure on the name of long
stay. It has been mentioned in the Format for submitting long stay data to
“Total continuous stay in the circle territory at present station (considering
both territorial & non territorial circles) starting from JTO/JE cadre,
which clears the matter. This will be applicable for all executives having age less than 55
years as on 31 March 2014 and who have managed their transfers from Maharashtra
Circle to non recruiting Circles like ITPC Pune, WTR & WTP within territory
of Maharashtra Circle and vice a versa, just to escape from the list of long
stayed SDEs in their parent Circle and now their stay will be counted
considering stay in territorial as well as non territorial circles starting from
JTO/JE cadre. Letter <<<>>>

15 MAY 13: Forum of BSNL Unions / Associations meeting with CMD
BSNL: The representatives of Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations met CMD BSNL
and discussed on the memorandum submitted to the GoM
on the revival of BSNL/MTNL and the issue of 78.2% IDA fixation with basic. CMD
appreciated the concern of BSNL Unions/Associations and mentioned that this is
the right time to apprise all the members of the GoM
regarding issues related to Viability of BSNL and its revival. He mentioned that
BSNL Management has also given the presentation to DoT on 8th & 9th May,
2013 on this issue. We apprised him that the memorandum has been given to the
members of GoM as well as being given to all the Hon
MPs throughout the country to apprise them on the issue. Forum is trying to
meet the GOM members also.
CMD apprised in brief that Govt. is
planning for revival plan in three phases i.e. Short Term, Medium Term and Long
Term Plans. The GoM meeting was scheduled to be held
on 10th May 2013 but it has been cancelled, hence we have sufficient time
to brief GoM. On the issue of 78.2% IDA fixation, the
Forum leaders demanded that the orders be issued without any further delay. On
12.06.2013, one year will be over after the strike agreement on 78.2% IIDA
fixation and Management has to ensure that the agreement is implemented. Forum
also suggested that CMD may pursue the matter with BRPSE also to which it has
been referred to. On the issue of 78.2% IDA fixation, CMD also agreed that
presently BSNL is making losses but BSNL is not a sick industry, hence the case
should not have been sent to BRPSE for comments. However, he assured to discuss
the matter with senior level officers in DoT as well as BRPSE for early
settlement.
He also mentioned that this year loss is expected to be about 8200
Crores which is Rs. 680 Crores less than the last year which gives us lot of
hope for the revival. He also mentioned that the salary payment and OPEX charges
are about 91.5% of the earnings and only 8.5% funds remains available for the
developmental activities. On CAPEX BSNL has taken loan of about Rs. 2000
Crores. But this can be repaid immediately on receipt of Rural Subsidy of Rs.
2750/- from USO fund as per the decision of Telecom Commission.
On the query of BSNL/MTNL merger, he mentioned that it is a long term
plan of Govt. to have a PSU having Pan India presence. Merge of BSNL/MTNL
provides many strategic advantages to these PSUs but some staff related
issue like higher pay scales in MTNL and Rule-37A Pension in BSNL and listing of
MTNL etc needs solution. He appealed that BSNL Unions/Associations and BSNL
Management should work in tandem to protect BSNL.
Forum Convener Com.V.A.N. Namboodiri, GS Com K. Sebastin, Com.
P. Abhimanyu, GS/BSNLEU, Com Prahlad Rai GS/AIBSNLEA, Com Rajmouli Dy GS/NFTE were present

15 MAY 13: DGM S&M Mumbai issued revised targets for GSM connections in

by NWP CM section and total target for Maharashtra Circle will be 19,90,962
lines instead of 5,45,000 earlier given by NWP CM section. Thus, the GSM targets
for Maharashtra Circle are now increased by about four
times than earlier targets. Different sections are issuing different targets for GSM connections,
but nothing is happening on actual requirements to active these targets.
Maharashtra Circle has to achieve this target when present GSM equipment
capacity in Maharashtra Circle is overloaded by more
than 200% and key work of expansion of SGSN & GGSN is pending for last 2-3
years giving congestion of more than 1000% for 3 G Services. Revised GSM Connection Targets 2013-14. <<<>>>

14 MAY 13: After taking valuable time of more than two months in calculation of
vacancy positions and different queries, asking justification from SSA Heads,
Maharashtra Circle issued order for continuation of officers already working as
DE L/A for 180 days without filling number of vacant posts in different SSAs
against refusal/transfers/retirement and without following latest guidelines
issued for issuing DE L/A after promotion on basis of Circle seniority.
SNEA (I) Maharashtra has already brought to notice of Shri. Praveen
Malholtra, Sr. GM HR & Admn Mumbai the game plans
of Shri. Chakrapani Adiga,
DGM HR &Admn Mumbai to safe guard his personal
interest. But it seems that Mr. Adiga has taken over the command of office of Sr GM HR & Admn Mumbai in new scenario and running his
old agenda of degrading his own colleague to prove his so called expertise in
eyes of CGMT MH & Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai which he
could not succeed during period of earlier Sr GM HR
& Admn Mumbai as he was controlled at every level of such acts by then GM HR
& Admn as he was well aware about game plans of Mr. Adiga and this control seems to be disappeared in recent
changes in administration.
In this case also, we have categorically brought to notice of present
Sr. GM HR & Admn Mumbai the facts well in advance and may be reason that
instead of issuing orders as prepared by so called valuable guidance of Mr.
Adiga, now extension of old order is issued to fulfill
ego of Mr. Adiga and at the same time to show that
views expressed by SNEA (I) MH are also given concern. It is unfortunate that Mr. Adiga continues
to degrade his own colleges and troubling executives by creating intentional
problems at every stage by using his knowledge at the level of AD Staff on
promoted post as DGM HR & Admn in same section with clogged mindset as he
does not know the real problems of BSNL field officer. This happens, as he has
never worked in any field units of BSNL and is successful in managing his
posting only in Mumbai during his entire service of 30 years and above.
No problem comrades, SNEA (I) MH will pursue with its demand that if
Looking After orders are to be issued at Circle level
then it should be issued as per guidelines from BSNL Corporate Office on the
basis of “Circle seniority” of all comrades coming in zone of consideration.
If it is to be issued as per District level seniority for avoiding
transfers even though certain percentage of transfers are permitted by BSNL CO
and certain comrades are ready to accept such L/A promotion on transfers, if
they are given opportunity, then it is need of time that instead of unwanted
business of issuing Looking after orders from Circle and wastage of time &
manpower in repeation of works, the powers for looking after
arrangements/promotions should be delegated to SSA Heads and Circle Office will
made available present Circle seniority list in SDE cadre. Let SSA Heads maintain the seniority among promoted officers within
district, let them take decision on refusal and posting against such refusals,
let them take care of real field problems which are different from SSA to SSA
and no need to waste time and manpower doubly i.e. at Circle Level and again at
District level.
It is important here that no DPC is being
conducted for Looking after promotions and no Circle level Seniority is
maintained but time of moths together is taken by Circle administration in
issuing Looking after arrangement. This may be fact, with
reduction of such unwanted works from circle office, the workload of Mr. Adiga will be reduced and he will be relieved to Karnataka
Circle as his order is pending for period of last one year and on name of one or
other idea Mr. Adiga his making sincere efforts not to
get relived from Maharashtra Circle. The earlier targets for his reliving
to Karnataka Circle, which are fixed in file time to
time by CGMT MH Circle, Sr. GM HR & Admn Mumbai, are cancelled on the basis
of such unjustified works. Maharashtra comrades will have to keep patience and
continue to bear with such an officer and his useless ideas till further period
of two weeks as now latest target for reliving of Mr. Adiga to Karnataka Circle is fixed
in the file 31 May 2013. If Mr. Adiga did not continue
to take grip of office of GM HR & Admn Mumbai by using different clever
ideas and get his reliving further extended as happened in about 8-10 occasions
during past one year, he will be relived to Karnataka
Circle on 31 May 2013.
Comrades, our concern is to follow the well framed policy guidelines
by BSNL CO and at the same time executives are not deprived from their basic
right of promotion as per seniority after wait of minimum 12-15 years on name of
expenditure curtailment and BSNL working is made to suffer by keeping post
vacant for years together that to be in such purely temporary arrangements due
to useless ideas of some individual officer with clogged
mindset. This is our main concern, which is not understood only by Mr. Adiga mainly due to fear of reduction of his workload to
justify his non reliving from Maharashtra Circle to Karnataka Circle even all
other officers AD Staff, AGM Staff and Sr. GM HR & Admn Mumbai were fully
convenienced during our discussions we had with each
one. Hope for the best outcome at the earliest in better interest of BSNL and
executives under zone of consideration. Copy of DE L/A Extension order <<<>>>

merger: The meeting of the Forum, which took place today the 09-05-2013, has
taken the historic decision to go on indefinite strike, demanding the immediate
settlement of 78.2% IDA merger. After the agreement on 12.06.2012, eleven months
passed and the Associations/Unions were pursuing the issue at all levels. The
issue of 78.2% IDA merger was sent to DoT for its approval. However, DoT,
instead of giving its approval, has referred the matter to the BRPSE (Board for
Reconstruction of Public Sector Enterprises). This is nothing but putting 78.2%
IDA merger in the cold storage.
After
discussing the issue threadbare, the Forum has decided to give call for the
following agitational programmes. The meeting was attended by Com.V.A.N.Namboodiri (Convener) com. P. Abhimanyu, GS/BSNLEU, Com. C. Singh, GS/NFTE, Com. K.

Shri. Mhatre got some doubt
and inquired with the person calling telephonically about the office address of
the company. He was informed that the calls are being made by
the head Office at Andheri, Mumbai. To confirm facts Shri. Mhatre had
come from Roha to Mumbai on 4 May 2013 and naturally
approached to so called BSNL Andheri Office, where BSNL is having only quarters and from
there Shri. Mhatre was
directed to BSNL Santacruz office as if really
this was call from BSNL Office. Here in Santacruz
office, he met to our comrade who was alert on such fraud cases due to our
earlier news dated 23 April 2013, she immediately directed same person to Com. Anil Dubey, DS SNEA(I) Mumbai and we have come to know another
case of fraud. We are surprised to see the advertisement in the daily News Paper
“Punyanagari’, which is given on name of BSNL and the
documents being issued on name of Govt Of India and how openly public is being cheated on name of
BSNL. Thanks comrade, our vigilant comrades have saved thousands of rupees of
Shri. Mhatre as he was explained the reality by creating faith about activities
of BSNL in his mind and was further advised not come in any such trap on name of
BSNL. SNEA (I) Maharashtra congratulate Com. Anil Dubey, DS SNEA (I) Mumbai and his team for timely action and
initiatives.

2 MAY 13: GS SNEA (I) CHQ writes to Secretary DOT regarding Calling volunteers
from repatriated ITS back to BSNL– Preposterous and motivated move to safeguard vested interest of ITS,
inflict huge damage of growth and viability of BSNL and defeat the absorption
process - Cabinet decision contemptuously overlooked --BSNL will only flourish
if it has top management which has a direct stake in the Company. The viability
of BSNL severely affected by the continuation of the unabsorbed ITS Group “A” officers at the key positions as Circle/State heads and
SSA/Dist heads. Instead of promoting the absorbed
officers to the key and strategic positions and to build a BSNL Management of
its own, the biased BSNL management in collusion with some senior officers in
DoT is working overtime to continue the deputation and even to bring back the
repatriated officers back to BSNL/MTNL. Letter <<<>>>
2 MAY 13: Deployment of ITS officers of DoT in BSNL on BSNL posts — court case
at Hon PCAT, New Delhi: The interim prayer for stay, in the OA filed by SNEA(I) & BSNLEU
and AIBSNLEA against deployment of ITS officers from DoT to BSNL came up for
hearing in the Hon PCAT today. Our advocate pleaded that DoT has violated
earlier Hon PCAT Order dated 01.06.2011 filed by the absorbed officers as well
as Hon High Court Delhi order dated 17.04.2012 for repatriation of unabsorbed
ITS officers from BSNL/MTNL to DoT and deploy them in Govt service through surplus cell. Subsequently two applications for extension of time also dismissed
on 18.05.2012 and 15.02.2013. The prayer made by the DoT in the Hon HC
based on the cabinet decision dated 13.02.2013 “to repatriate the ITS officers
and deploy them back in BSNL/MTNL” was also rejected by the Hon HC on
04.03.2013. Even after that DoT issued order for deployment of ITS officers in
BSNL/MTNL on 11.03.2013, the same prayer dismissed by the Hon HC on 04.03.13. In
the WP 1803/2013 filed by us in the Hon HC against this order, Hon HC observed
in the judgement that “ the order dated 11.03.2013 is
in letter and spirit violates the order of Hon HC dated 15.02.2013” and directed
us to approach the appropriate forum for relief, that is why we are here in the
PCAT, our lawyer pleaded. Hon bench very much convinced on our
arguments.
We strongly pleaded for the stay of operation of the order dated
11.03.2013 of DoT, deploying the unabsorbed officers in BSNL. Counsel for DoT
and BSNL pleaded for some more time to file the counter reply. Sensing the game
plan of DoT and BSNL to delay the case, our lawyer pressed for the interim
relief to stay the operation of DoT/BSNL order dated 11.03.2013. Hon High Court
after hearing the arguments from both sides decided to hear the case on merit
immediately after the vacation and posted case for hearing on 16.07.2013. A
final decision is expected in three to four months from Hon PCAT.

1 MAY 13: Update on LDCE case at Hon. PCAT, New Delhi: Arguments from respondent’s side also concluded today and judgment
reserved. SNEA (I) impleaded in the case in order to expedite the court
case. Our lawyer strongly opposed the
cancellation of the examination and pleaded that this examination was conducted
for the vacancies from 2006-07 to 2009-10 and initially the examination was
scheduled to be conducted in 2010. The examination is badly delayed and there
should be no cancellation. Further Assn submitted that
BSNL followed all the formalities before declaration of the results, and even if
Hon Court in case finds any discrepancy in the final answer key, revaluation may
be ordered, not re-examination. BSNL lawyer also strongly pleaded against any
re-examination and made arguments very well. All the parties, both applicant as
well as respondents agreed not to demand cancellation of the examination which
the Hon Court recorded. Finally Hon Court directed BSNL to submit all the
records related to finalization of final answer key like provisional answer key,
representations received from all the parties, findings of the expert committee
and examiner on the representations and final decision of BSNL Management,
within two days and on perusal of the same judgment will be pronounced. GS,
President and AGSs are present in the Hon Court during arguments.

1 MAY 13: Meeting with Sri M. F. Farooqui,
Secretary, DoT on 30.04.2013: GS, President and AGS Com Arvind Pal Dahiya
met Secretary, DoT and discussed the following issues:
a. Requirement of a BSNL Management belongs to the company as
pre-requite condition for the revival of BSNL,
b. 78.2% IDA merger with basic,
c. Refund of BWA spectrum charges,
d. Compensation for loss making Rural services
and Telegraph services,
e. Pension contribution on actual pay instead of maximum of the pay
scale
f. 3G roaming and violation of 3G licenses by pvt operators.
We clearly
told Secy/DoT that unless and until BSNL is managed by
its own Officers, none of the initiatives taken by the Govt can revive BSNL. Leaving the BSNL Board, for the last
12 years, all other senior positions are manned by officers on deputation from
Govt and more than 70% of the Circles/states are
headed by deputed officers on look after arrangement and on temporary basis. The
absorbed officers are not promoted and posted to these key positions by the BSNL
Management, to protect the interest of the unabsorbed officers on deputation, at
the cost of BSNL. We explained the impact of the recent DoT order calling for
volunteers which is even against the spirit of the cabinet decision. Secy/DoT assured that the order will be reviewed by
DoT.
On other issues of revival of BSNL, Secretary appreciated our concern and
initiatives and informed that GoM will be dealing
these issues shortly. Further he suggested to submit
details of the issues to be taken up with GoM within a
couple of days. We will be submitting a note in this regard. On 78.2% IDA merger also, Secretary was very positive and assured
that DoT will take immediate action on receipt of comments from
BRPSE.
1 MAY 13: Meeting with Sri V. Umashankar, Jt Secretary, DoT on 30.04.2013: GS, President and AGS Com Arvind Pal Dahiya

for their comments and DoT will take a positive decision once the proposal is
returned to DoT.On the issue of recent DoT order calling volunteers, Jt Secretary informed that he is unaware of the development
and appropriate action will be taken by DoT.

contribution on maximum of basic pay in contravention of DOP&T order dated

Crores per year) in excess of what it is to legitimately pay as pension
