15: BSNL Managements continues
to play gimmick with posting of CGMT Maharashtra Circle: BSNL Management created mockery on posting of
CGMT Maharashtra Circle by issuing repeated orders within one week’s period
& by posting two different Officers as CGMT Maharashtra Circle. Revised
CGMT MH Order <<<>>>
Ø It seems
that it has been firmly decided by BSNL management to shift Shri.
M.K.Jain as CGM WTP Mumbai, without giving him sufficient times to explorer
his talent as CGMT MH Circle. This is approach of BSNL Management towards
posting of Head of the biggest Telecom Circle of BSNL and repeated orders and
non joining of officers on transfers, giving LA after charge in intervening
period and forcefully transferring working Officer to vacant post having
practically very less work is best example how careless BSNL management is
about posting of Head of biggest Telecom Circle.
Ø In total
unfortunate and unwanted approach, the BSNL management continues to play with
posting of CGMT MH Circle as since years together no CGMT is given time of more than one year
to function as CGMT MH Circle. In total disappointing manner, the CGMT MH Shri.
M.K. Jain was suddenly shifted and posted as CGM WTP Mumbai and Shri.
Prabhash Singh, present CGMT ITPC Pune was posted as CGMT MH Circle on 21/02/2015.
Ø But
within eight days time, same order has been cancelled and revised order for
posting of CGMT MH is issued wherein Shri. Prabhash Singh
continues as CGMT ITPC Pune, transfer order of Shri.
M.K. Jain present CGMT MH continues as CGMT WTP and Shri.
G.K. Upadhayay present CGMT Haryana Circle is posted as CGMT MH Circle.
Ø Thus BSNL management is creating
mockery which is clearly visible from the facts as till there is uncertainty
about joining of Shri. G.K. Upadhay as CGMT MH Circle because
the Looking After charge of CGMT MH Circle is given to Shri.
K.K.Saxena PGMT
Pune with immediate effect.
Ø It is important to note
that Shri. K.K Sexena has reasonably failed to control even
Pune SSA as PGMT Pune as he has not shown much control or involvement in the
development & growth of Pune SSA as PGMT Pune which he is heading for last
ten months. Many of the officers in Pune SSA did not pay heed to his
instructions and so many matters are running in files. Due to his failure to
take overall proper control as PGMT Pune, just recently on 26/02/2015, Joint
Action Committee Pune had gone for Protest March against PGMT Pune & hold
strong protest outside office of PGMT Pune to stop the corrupt practices in
Pune SSA. If these are the results as PGMT Pune, how BSNL management expects
from Shri. K.K. Saxena to control Maharashtra Circle as CGMT MH
in better manner than that of Shri. M. K. Jain is now ‘Star’ Question.
Ø All these actions and
evidences, put big question on integrity of BSNL management about posting of
CGMT MH and it will be matter of investigation that how the BSNL management
expect best performance of Maharashtra Circle by replacing Shri.
M.K.Jain, a
reasonably active Circle Head, who was having deep knowledge of working of
Maharashtra Circle, who was taking lead on many of development &
maintenance issues of Maharashtra Circle and who has taken command on many of
issues with desired result to certain extent even though he has very short span
of time period of ten months as CGMT MH, with Shri. K. K. Saxena, as CGMT MH.
Ø Anyhow
comrades, we Maharashtra Comrades will have continue our struggle for “Acche Din”
and for posting and practical functioning of good and commanding CGMT MH Circle
and at this stage we have no option other than to watch & wait this
gimmick.

a. Option for the 2010 JAOs: Assn
explained to GM (FP) that all the JAOs of 2010 qualified well before the cut
off date of 07.05.2010 (the date of pay revision order) and due to
administrative reasons their training has been delayed. Further the
recruitment process itself started in 2004-05 and delayed for years together.

try to discuss the issue further in the committee.

SSA /Unit Heads for details of DE LA issued locally and information is to be
submitted by tomorrow i.e.25/02/2015. Letter <<<>>>
This was
one of the issues discussed in meeting by CGMT MH with SNEA (I) MH on
03/02/2015 & before that SNEA (I) MH has submitted detail feedback to CGMT
MH vide our letter dated 30/01/2014. The details were uploaded on website on
02/02/2015. (Copy
of letter by SNEA (I) MH <<<>>>
Copy of Minutes of Meeting <<<>>>).
After
elaborate discussions on this subject in the meeting with CGMT, it was decided
that detail justification will be called from SSA Heads about compulsions of
SSA heads to issue such local DE LA orders. As such all DS/CoBs and activists
are requested to take up matter with SSA Heads for sending
details of all such local DE arrangement with proper justification showing
circumstances and compulsions for SSA heads for issuing such alternative
arrangement to run the SSA and how DEs are required to run SSA. It may
be specially stressed upon the requirement of these DEs
beyond the strength counted by Circle office and actual requirement of DEs for
smooth running of different functions of SSAs otherwise there are
chances of shortage of DEs in that particular SSA. It was also decided that
if these vacancies cannot be filled by LA arrangements with orders issued
Circle Office, then the names of the officers working as DE LA as per local
orders on basis of local seniority will be approved by CGMT MH because only
CGMT has powers to approve arrangements of DE LA and not any SSA Head is
empowered for same.
On the
basis of this feedback from SSA Heads, the matter of DE LA arrangements will be
reviewed by Circle Office for calculation of DE vacancies in each SSA. Hence
all SSAs including the SSAs who have not issued any DE LA arrangements locally
should send the additional requirement of DEs with full & proper
justification, if & only if all additional DEs are really required and not
at all for name sake to compliance this Circle office letter. If any SSA is
having lesser requirement of DEs than the given by Circle office, then same
also may be intimated to AGM Staff Mumbai. But all the details are to be sent
latest by tomorrow i.e. by 25/02/2015 by email and hence all DS,COBs,
Activists and concerned officers should look into matter personally and send
the details in time bound manner.

15: Hussh!!! At last GPF Data Updated for last FININCIAL Year 2013-14: DGM ERP
/Fin Mumbai informs all IFAs of Maharashtra Circle about the updated GPF data
in ERP in respect of all employees and officers for year 2013-14 and calls for
corrections if any by 27/02/2015. Letter <<<>>>
This is
result of tireless efforts and persuasion for eleven month by Sr GM Fin Mumbai
and her ERP team with vendor M/S HCL. This is great news for all the
employees and officers in BSNL Maharashtra Circle that after delay of eleven
months the GPF Data has been corrected and updated in ERP as uncertainty for
last one year about accountability of crores of rupees will come to end today.
This is one of the matters delayed due to failure of Sr GM Fin Mumbai and her team
to extract timely works from ERP Vendor M/S HCL. This is classic example how
vendors are exploiting BSNL and spoiling efficiency of the BSNL officers due to
inefficiency on part of employees of vendor. It is unfortunate that
even though this work was delayed for eleven months, there was no delay in
payment of ERP vendor M/S HCL and payments were made regularly even without
knowledge of GM Fin Mumbai. In our last meeting with CGMT MH, on
03/02/2015, SNEA (I) MH has raised this issue strongly and CGMT MH has assured
to settle it at the earliest wherein CGMT MH had given direct call to Director
CFA BSNL from the meeting itself.
Anyhow,
at least now one has to be happy that we all will be able to see whereabouts and
transactions of GPF accounts through ERP and individual has to check for
correctness of data as the letter issued by DGM ERP/Fin Mumbai itself asks for
similar action of corrections and n/a to be taken for such corrections by
27/02/2015. Hence it will be appropriate to check GPF data immediately and
corrections at later stage may not be entertained by Circle Office /ERP vendor.

22 FEB 15: Meeting with Sri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD/BSNL: GS Com
K. Sebastin, CHQ President Com G L Jogi and AGS Com
Vivek Wankhede met Sri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD, BSNL on 20.02.2015 and held
discussions for about one hour on issues related to revival of BSNL and HR
issues. Initially the meeting was scheduled for 09.02.2015 but due to the
meeting with the Forum on the same day, it was postponed to 20.02.15. At the
outset we assured our full support and cooperation to him for all the initiatives
taken by the Management for the revival of BSNL.
CMD
informed that Management will be very tough on the non performers and clear
message is already given to all Circles/SSAs. Tough measures will be initiated
to bring accountability and easy-going /indiscipline will not be tolerated at
all.
On
merger of SSAs, Assn told CMD
that this move should not further concentrate the power and decision making.
CMD informed that as a first step, the HR, Finance and planning activities in
few Circles only will be centralised and the performance monitored for one
year. If it is found effective, it will be implemented in other Circles also.
The operations and related activities will remain with the concerned SSAs.
Finalization
of standard Pay scales of E2, E3 etc for JTO/JAO and SDE/AO and equivalent
cadre w.e.f. 01.01.2007: Assn
explained the whole issue to the new CMD - assurance given in 2012 to Joint committee
formation, rejection of E1A and E2A proposal by DoT, reiteration of
implementations of standard pay scales by DPE in December/2012, assurance given
to the Assn in March-Sept, 2014, rejection of E1A and E2A proposal by DPE in
July, 2014 etc. The JTO/JAO and SDE/AO cadres which are the backbone of the
company is not having pay scales for the last 8 years. There is a difference of
Rs 3800/ between the basic pay of a JTO recruited prior to 01.01.2007 and after
01.01.2007.
CMD surprised to see
that the pay scales of the JTO and SDE cadres are not finalised for 8 years
even after clear instructions and rejection of the E1A and E2A proposal by the
DPE/DoT and the committee is not deliberating and finalizing its
recommendations as per the mandate given to it. Assn pointed out that in order
to further delay the process, MTNL pension issue is unnecessary raised now
which is no way connected with the pay revision w.e.f. 01.01.2007. CMD assured
that he will discuss the matter with DIR (HR) and ensure that the committee
concludes its report and a final decision is taken. We hope that CMD and DIR
(HR) will take a final call on E2, E3 pay scales since E1A and E2A scales are
repeatedly rejected by DPE and DoT.
Time Bound Functional promotion or CPSU cadre hierarchy: GS
told CMD that as on today JTO to SDE promotion, SDE to DE promotion and DE to
DGM promotions are under litigation and Management is not able to fill up the
vacancies. The entire promotions based on existing seniority lists from JTO to
DGM are blocked. Being that the ground reality, the rationale behind the HR
wings move even to stop the “proposal to give time bound promotion up to AGM
level without consideration of vacancy” is not known. Is the HR wing having any
other proposal to give promotion to the executives from JTO to DGM without
any hurdle other than this? We don’t want to here again
and again that promotions cannot be done due to court cases. Assn clearly told that nothing
less than this proposal is acceptable to us and Management has to reconsider
its decision to restrict Time bound promotion without consideration of vacancy”
only up to SDE level. CMD assured us to examine the matter before
implementation.
30%
superannuation benefit to BSNL recruited employees: Assn explained the status of the issue. CMD informed
that the Management is aware of the issue and some proposal is under
consideration. Assn told CMD that the proposal under consideration is not going
to solve the problem and requested to work out a reasonable solution to the
issue after discussion with all stake holders since just like pay scale issue,
the affected employees are losing the pension benefits for years together, from
2007.
CMD had a patient hearing for an hour and we got the right
opportunity to draw his attention to some of the major HR issues. This is the
first time we got such an opportunity to discuss the HR issues with the CMD. We
hope that CMD will take appropriate action and initiative to resolve these
issues as he understood that these issues are to be resolved in order to
motivate the employees.
21 FEB
15: BSNL CO issued transfer
orders of CGM level officers in which Shri. M. K. Jain CGMT MH
is transferred from Maharashtra Circle to WTP Circle and Shri.
Prabhash Singh, present CGMT ITPC Pune is posted as CGMT MH Circle with looking
after charge of CGM ITPC Pune. Order <<<>>>
It is unfortunate that even just before
one month of closure of Financial Year 2014-15, BSNL management continue to play with
Maharashtra Circle by maintaining its tradition of replacing every CGMT MH
Maharashtra within period of one year. Shri.
M.K. Jain will be fifth CGMT MH who got period of less than one year to serve
as CGMT MH Circle and second CGMT MH being shifted in mid way. The frequent
changes at the level of CGMT has badly affected the overall growth of BSNL
Maharashtra Circle and SNEA (I) MH has always taken up this issue and last year
when Shri. M.K.Jain was posted with time of more
than two & half years in hand before his retirement, we were of the opinion
that he will break the tradition. But BSNL management continues to play its
game and now Shri. Jain is shifted from Maharashtra Circle and posted as CGM
WTP Mumbai within period of ten months.
Though, SNEA (I) MH has some of
grievances with Shri. M.K. Jain as CGMT MH on his way of dealing with HR
issues, but he was involved in many of the development issues and in period of
ten months he has given shape to many critical issues of Maharashtra Circle
like, replacement of life expired Battery sets, procurement of new GSM BTS
cards for restoration of 700 GSM BTS failed for months/years together and he
was mainly taking keen interest in operations issues of both CFA/CM segment by
personally monitoring the cases. While he was understanding the problems/issues
to some depth & taking speed in many of the issues of growth &
development of Maharashtra Circle, all of sudden he is shifted from Maharashtra
Circle and posted as CGM WTP Circle at Mumbai and he may be victim of conflict
of the issues like inter rivalry of senior officers and/or vendors pressure
tactics. But in this game plan Maharashtra Circle will be again big loser at
this crucial period because as for years together Maharashtra Circle is victim
of frequent changes at the level of CGMT.
SNEA (I) MH again will take up matter
with BSNL management through SNEA(I) CHQ for such frequent and arbitrary
changes of CGMT MH Circle and this time in strange action transfer on eve of
closure of financial year 2014-15 creating more problems for Maharashtra
Circle. We will continue our efforts to break this tradition of giving period
of less than one year to any CGMT MH Circle so that at least new CGMT MH will
get some time to look into real issues of growth & development of
Maharashtra Circle.

15: AGM Staff Mumbai calls
willingness from 12 female SDEs in Circle level long stay list for posting at
Non Tenure stations having sufficient vacancies & the last date for
submission of willingness is 28/02/2015. Letter <<<>>>
All these SDE are in long stay
list and have not given willingness /refusal for posting at Tenure stations and
hence are now given option for posting at Non tenure stations. If any of these
SDEs is still willing for tenure stations, SNEA (I) MH will pursue for their
posting at Tenure stations subject to vacancies at that particular tenure SSA,
otherwise options may be given for any of the stations mentioned in the letter
to avoid transfer at random place by administration.
21 FEB
15: AGM Staff Mumbai calls
for willingness from JTOs/SDEs/DEs working in Circle Office Mumbai for posting
to Vigilance section and the last date for submission of willingness is
28/02/2015. Letter <<<>>>
Normally posting to Vigilance section is done
on selection basis by ascertaining APRs/VCs and overall character of particular
executive, but now days it has become new but wrong trend that options are
called by concerned administrators even for posting to Vigilance section just
to avoid selecting the best three among the available executives strength and
now the scope of selection has been extended beyond three and by publishing
list of some of executives willingness is called from this lot of selected
executives in all three cadres. Some of executives are being given chance to
work in Vigilance section for second time, which is also wrong practice. It is
great opportunity for all who are willing to work in Vigilance section and
hence individuals should submit their willingness to AGM Staff Mumbai well
within time.

for fresh willingness of SDEs for posting to ITPC Pune & last date for
submission of applications through proper channel is 05/03/2015. Letter <<<>>>
It is one of the important issue
pursued by SNEA(I) MH for equal opportunity for all eligible SDEs in
Maharashtra Circle for posting to ITPC Pune and in our last meeting with CGMT
MH it was decided to call for fresh willingness as per eligibility criteria and
mainly as per need of ITPC works. All willing & eligible comrades are
requested to submit their willingness preferably with “Resume” as the final
selection of few officers will be done by Maharashtra Circle on the basis of IT
related knowledge of officer and as per the eligibility criteria well defined
by BSNL CO & reproduced by Maharashtra Circle. All comrades have to apply
fresh regardless of their earlier applications and if
case is recommended at earlier stage, then such details may be notes in this
fresh application. Even though nothing is mentioned about the cost of transfer in
this willingness letter, it is but natural that application at own cost will be
given preference over the applications in the interest of service and hence
individuals can take suitable decision while submitting his/her willingness. Candidates
who do not fit in the eligibility criteria, may not apply as selection of such
candidates is not possible and it will be merely wastage of stationary of BSNL. The
applications are to be sent through proper channel and if any of the
controlling officer, SSA head is reluctant to recommend the request even though
officers fulfills eligibility criteria, then in such cases the direct copy may
be sent with covering representation addressed to CGMT MH Circle giving facts
and names of officers who has kept application on hold. Please take care
that applications are submitted & processed well within time in working
units & are received by Staff section Mumbai latest by 05/03/2015.
20 FEB
15: BSNL CO issued Inter
Circle transfer orders of 53 AOs in which 33 are request transfers and 20
are long stay transfers & also nine old transfer orders are cancelled. Letter <<<>>>
It is
clear that transfers of AOs in Month of February is not
affecting closure of Accounts as per hopeless stand taken by Mrs.
Marina George Sr GM Fin Mumbai and her blind follower Mr.
Bhaskar, CAO FC Mumbai. SNEA (I) MH has rightly pointed out this issue in
meeting with CGMT MH & now it is crystal clear that stand of Mrs.
Marina George GM Fin Mumbai that request transfers of JAOs, AOs & CAOs
within Maharashtra Circle cannot be considered in view of Accounts Closures is
baseless and it is taken just for harassment of Finance wing executives. The
extreme & hopeless attitude was of the Mr. Bhaskar, who is
working as puppet of GM Fin Mumbai as he twitted that it is practice in Account
wing that request transfers are not considered before Account Closure and if it
is so how BSNL CO has issued transfer orders of 53 AOs?.
Definitely
the authorities in BSNL CO are not fool who do not know about this practice
followed in Account wing as twitted by Mr. Bhaskar CAO FC
Mumbai. It is important that the authorities in BSNL CO are having more
responsibility of BSNL Account closure than GM Fin Mumbai & CAO FC Mumbai
and would have surely kept in mind this issue of account closure and issued
transfer orders of 53 AOs in one lot. But here in Maharashtra Circle Mrs.
Marina George, GM Fin Mumbai has taken adamant stand to harass the executives in
Finance wing and since last two years no request transfer orders of Finance
wing officers is issued within Maharashtra Circle including that of officers
working at Tenure stations with exception of pick and choose cases. It is most
unfortunate that Mr. Bhaskar CAO FC Mumbai has supported her by his “inefficient
working style & just keeping “smiling face”
without any basic works on transfer posting continuously for two years.
SNEA(I)
is pursuing request transfer cases since May 2014 & Mrs.
Marina George as well as Mr. Bhaskar both
have informed on many occasions that the request transfer orders will be issued
after closure of Accounts in July 2014.
But closure of Accounts was delayed & completed in August 2014 and since
then Mr. Bhaskar and his team at FC section could not
consolidated data of merely 20-15 officers. During intervening period when we
have approached FC section as well as Mr. Bhaskar, it was
always told that the data is being consolidated. First it was Mr.
Patro AO FC who was consolidating data of request transfers he asked time
month by month, we agreed to it. But while he was on job, Mr. Patro was
transferred & it was decision of Mrs. Marina George GM Fin Mumbai to
transfer Mr. Patro AO FC without posting any substitute and even without any
looking after arrangements. The FC section was kept in dark under direct
control of Mr. Bhaskar CAO FC Mumbai for months together and Mr. Bhaskar was
given triple powers of FC Section in capacity of AO FC, CAO FC & DGM FC,
but Mr. Bhaskar did nothing except greeting us with “smiling
face” with repeated assurances for processing file of request
transfer. Thereafter Mrs.
Laxmi is posted as CAO FC Mumbai in month of December 2014 and since
then we were pursuing with her & again with Mr.
Bhaskar also, but she was also asking time as she was new to this post of
AO FC Mumbai and Mr. Bhaskar also requested time on her behalf. But for this
consolidation of data of merely 20-25 officers Mr.
Bhaskar took time of two months and when data is ready in February 2015, Mrs.
Marina George GM Fin Mumbai has taken stand that the transfer orders cannot be
issued in view of Account Closures and it is possible in August 2015 and
thus it will be period of three years when no transfer orders are issued. We have even taken stand that if it is matter
of Account closure, then let order be issued and let it be implemented after
Account closure, but till no action has been taken and data and concerned file
is pending with Mr. Bhaskar and his FC section without any fruitful
result.
This is
“classic example” of total lack of HR approach by Gm Fin Mumbai and CAO FC Mumbai
and extreme case of intentional careless approach mainly in dealing with
transfer & posting of Finance wing Officers. From this
transfer orders issued by BSNL CO it is clear that transfer of merely 20-25
Finance wing officers will not affect will not affect Account Closure as
wrongly predicted by GM Fin Mumbai. SNEA (I) MH will continue its
persuasion & take matter a fresh for considering all request transfers of
Finance wing officers within Maharashtra Circle and see that orders are issued
at the earliest.

Adhoc/Regular promotions. BSNLCO is preparing the list of eligible Executives
and the work is expected to be completed by this week.
17 FEB
15: Great Smiling Face, Greatest
Blind Followership and Pendency of works behind “Smiling face” : Today, we are opening secrete of smiling face
and its relation with pendency of work and how unconditional & blind
followers are created by giving out turn promotions, even by abolishing well
established post. We all are aware that many works are pending in FC section
and TBP cases are one of such negligent approaches of concerned officers of FC
Section. Though TBPs for E1A & E2A are settled with continuous persuasion
by SNEA (I) MH, till TBPs in higher scale are pending. Same is case with
request transfers of executives in Account wing. After detail investigations,
we have found that this is due to careless & negligent approach by Sr
GM Fin Mumbai and her puppet CAO FC Mumbai, Mr. Bhaskar,
Before two years, Mr. Bhaskar was posted as
CAO FC Mumbai under direct control of GM Fin Mumbai by removing well established
post of DGM FC Mumbai and it was definitely selection of Sr GM Fin Mumbai who
was in need of her ‘blind follower’ who say yes to her all orders & do
not care where it fits in rule or not. It is matter of pride for Mr. Bhaskar as
he has proved his selection by GM Fin Mumbai beyond doubt by his attitude and
work culture by doing only works which are instructed by his only “boss”. Only
positive thing with Mr. Bhaskar CAO FC Mumbai is that he is having smiling face
and one has to be happy with his smiling face scarifying the works pending with
him. If we
review his works and output from his present working style then it is “Big Zero” for general cases and more
than 100% in
cases where instructions are issued by Sr GM Fin Mumbai.
Not only in transfer and
posting, Mr. Bhaskar has proved his Extraordinary Excellence by intentional
troubles to the employees of BSNL in settlement of medical claims including
claims by the employees having incurable/chronic diseases. Mr. Bhaskar is proving
his excellence by not applying his mind in any case with HR approach of which
he is in charge for last two years. This may be only condition in his selection on post
of CAO FC Mumbai cum DGM FC Mumbai, who is in charge of transfer posting of
Finance wing Officer & settlement of medical claims. It should be matter of
pride for Mr. Bhaskar, that since last two years, he has considered only two
transfer orders perfectly one transfer order as it was mutual case of two AOs
as it was wish of his “Boss”. As “Boss” has not instructed him for
any other transfers of Finance wing officers, he is not taking care of it. Now
days “Boss” is not getting time for giving him instructions on such petty
issues, rather “Boss” has total reluctance in issuing any request transfer of
Finance wing officers including that of officers working at Tenure Stations
declared by her own office and even no mercy for requests on eve of
superannuation retirement and same is followed by Mr. Bhaskar.
We find
here that Mr. Bhaskar is proving his loyalty in excellent manner and
reciprocating his “Boss” for giving him premature promotion with responsibility
of DGM FC Mumbai. On
this holy day of “Mahashivratri” while some of we pray ‘Lord
Shiva’ and
his “Nandi” who
is known for his loyalty with Lord Shiva, we find that Mr. Bhaskar CAO FC is
also working in footsteps of “Nandi” and definitely he will have lot of space
in history of Maharashtra Circle on loyalty & smiling face. In days to
come, the loyalty of Mr. Bhaskar will be quoted by different employees of BSNL
and we are sure if history of FC section is written then name of Mr. Bhaskar
will be written in “golden” letter for such more than 100%
loyalty and less than 1% application of his mind for resolution of issues of
his own brothers & sisters in Finance wing.
Yesterday, we met Mr.
Bhaskar, about the pending issues of FC section and medical claims; we have
seen same “great smiling face”, without any fear and tension of works
on his face, even though hundreds of files are pending on & around his
table. We have asked him about the progress of cases which we have been
discussed with him during last meeting with him, in more “Extra
ordinary smiling face”, and with great innocence he was asking us what
cases Sir? This was simply great and we find that GM Fin Mumbai has best
selection for the post of CAO cum DGM FC Mumbai with such innocent behavior and
tensionless smiling face and totally careless approach. We reminded on pending
cases one by one and on TBP issues he informed that some of cases are under
process and it will take some more time. When we pressed hard, he informed that
E1A to E2A are approved and orders will be issued. But for other higher TBP cases files are
under process and work will be completed shortly. When we asked him, what is
progress of request transfers, he told data is ready with him, but GM Fin
Mumbai instructed him not to issue orders till Account closure which is
scheduled in “August 2015”. We questioned him, it was delay on his
part that since July 2014 i.e. last Account Closure, he has
not taken any action on these pending request transfers and such stringent
stand at this stage will further delay all request transfer by eight months and
we cannot say about implementation of these orders. Mr. Bhaskar very politely
informed that he was not having any instructions from his Boss for issuing such
orders and kept silence for prolonged time. We brought to his notice that recently
BSNL CO has issued transfer orders of hundreds of AOs and many are shifted out
of present location and there is no fear of account closure at All India
level, then why in Maharashtra?. Will it not disturb, account closure?
He was not having any answer. We also added that it was also possible for him
to consider all pending request transfers, by adjusting incumbent AOs transferred
from other Circle to Maharashtra Circle on AO Regular promotion, but nothing
has been done on his part, then he was mute and silent without any answer, but
this time his face was not “smiling”.
When asked, does he want to trouble comrades in Finance wing by his such
senseless attitude, he said it is not trouble, but is routine practice followed
by Finance wing that in view of Account closure, we never issue transfer
orders, but he did not made any comment on why he has not initiated process and
issued transfer orders on last account Closure in July 2014 & why he has
not considered request transfers at least in AO cadre when incumbent AOs have
joined in Maharashtra Circle. We further questioned him, when transfer orders of
only 15-20 officers in different cadres from JAO to CAO are pending out of more
than 400 Finance wing officers throughout Maharashtra Circle, how the transfer
of merely 5% officers will affect the account closure of entire Maharashtra? . We also made it clear the
orders should not be delayed and it should be issued as every procedure is
completed by now and if it is affecting for Account Closure in any case,
then same can be implemented after closure of Accounts. Mr. Bhaskar agreed our
views totally, but again twitted that if GM Fin agrees then and only then it is
possible and maintained his boneless stand.
We salute this great and smiling face of Mr.
Bhaskar with totally hopeless attitude, which is unable to give any concrete
results mainly due to unconditional loyalty of Mr. Bhaskar with his “boss”
forgetting all his office responsibilities as CAO FC Section under hidden
capacity of DGM FC Mumbai, mainly under fear that if he applies his mind at
any stage in any case, he will not be relieved by GM Fin Mumbai from
Maharashtra Circle on his transfer to home Circle, which he is expecting
shortly. When Mr. Bhaskar is worried about his transfer before completion
of two year tenure at non tenure station, in shameless and hopeless attitude he
has done nothing for other finance wing officers in Maharashtra Circle who are
waiting their request transfers even after completion of tenure at well defined
stations & for period double the prescribed tenure period. When we asked Mr. Bhaskar,
if he continues in same attitude, then some of comrades will be retired before
closure of accounts and how will they get transfer? In totally shameless attitude
& merciless mentality Mr. Bhaskar told that such person will also not get
transfer till his boss agrees for same and he/she will have to retire at same place.
This extra ordinary smiling face, boneless
mentality and hopeless attitude of Gr A level officer, in charge of FC section
for entire Maharashtra Circle, having unconditional, 100% inclined & blind
loyalty towards “Boss”, in fear of his reliving on transfer of Mr. Bhaskar CAO
FC Mumbai to his home circle which is yet to be issued, is the
prime reason for pendency of many of works in FC Section creating intentional
trouble to Finance wing Officers in Maharashtra Circle and it is definitely desire
of Sr GM Fin Mumbai who did not want to help even Finance wing officers and
creating man made hurdles in settlement of the HR issues as she also maintains
more reluctance on considering request transfers.
Comrades,
SNEA (I) MH will not allow such intentional trouble to Finance wing officers
and we will definitely take up matter with competent authority. Mr. Bhaskar CAO FC and his
GM Fin Mumbai are not only & final authority in BSNL and we will see that
the transfer orders are issued as per maintained waiting list without any
further delay. But till time we have to be happy with “smiling
face” of Mr.
Bhaskar CAO FC
and anyone want to see his smiling face and special expressions thereof with
huge pendency of works behind such smiling face, please visit chamber of Mr.
Bhaskar CAO FC Mumbai and get rid of your pending issues at least for some time
and learn how to be happy by keeping such huge pendency of office works just by
maintaining loyalty to somebody.

NEw Crads for GSM BTS!!!! :
BSNL
CO conveys approval to CGMT Maharashtra Circle for procurement of 6003 no. of

tender rates which has been finalized. Letter <<<>>>
This will be another step in
resolution of major, critical & long pending issues with GSM services by
BSNL in Maharashtra Circle. In first step new Battery sets were allotted for
many of the BTS sites and now new cards will be allotted, which will definitely
resolve majority issues of GSM BTS maintenance. SNEA (I) Maharashtra conveys
thanks to Shri. M. K.Jain CGMT MH & his Mobile team
for keen persuasion of this issue at different level with concrete
determination giving final shape to this long pending issue which has badly
affected GSM services in Maharashtra Circle. Non availability of
different spare/repaired cards was one of the reasons for more number of GSM
customers porting out of BSNL. Though more than of Rs. 58
Crores funds was allotted for the replacement of Faulty GSM cards, the approval
was asked & issued for procurement of 6003 cards with total cost Rs. 33.27
Crores and if required remaining funds also can be utilized. This will be great relief for Maharashtra
Circle & its GSM customers as with procurement of new GSM cards, the
hundreds of BTS which are faulty for years/months together for want of
repaired/replacement of cards will now be restored.

14 FEB 15: Meeting
with Director (HR): CHQ President and both AGSs met Director (HR) to discuss following
issues:
a. Immediate
restoration of trade union facilities suspended consequent to initiation of
flawed, objective less, mock and ridiculous membership verification process: We
clearly conveyed to Director (HR) that it is completely unfair and arbitrary on
the part of Management to keep trade union facilities in frozen condition since
notification of membership verification process which is stayed by Karnataka HC
for the last more than six months. Besides, this Association is completely and
strongly opposed to going ahead with membership verification unless basic and
pertinent issues raised by this Association and whose resolution alone will
help achieve basic objective of membership verification process are
comprehensively addressed, we informed Director(HR). We urged upon Director
(HR) to initiate immediate action towards restoration of trade union facilities
enjoyed by this Association prior to commencement of membership verification
since day to day functioning of the Association stands adversely impacted on
frivolous, flimsy and non- existent grounds. Director (HR) assured of very
quick action to restore the facilities as early as possible and also assured
that he will direct Sr GM (SR) to initiate appropriate action in this
regard.
b. Monitoring
of progress of DPC: We sought personal intervention of Director (HR) to monitor
progress of ongoing seniority cum fitness DPC from JTO to TES Gr B and informed
him that the progress of DPC is not as quick and on expected lines. We also
informed Director (HR) that his personal intervention in closely monitoring
progress of DPC has become absolutely necessary in view of slow pace of DPC
work. Director (HR) assured that he will monitor progress of DPC personally
besides directing concerned officers to expedite DPC as much as possible.
Subsequently, we have had discussion with DGM (P) regarding accelerating the
pace of DPC work and he assured that necessary action is already being taken to
complete the work as quickly as possible.
14 FEB 15: Meeting
with Sr GM (SR): We apprised Sr GM (SR) about the discussions that we have had with
Director (HR) regarding restoration of trade union facilities and also pleaded
with him to initiate quick action to ensure that facilities that have been
suspended arbitrarily are restored at the earliest since there is absolutely no
justification whatsoever in continuing with suspension of these facilities. Sr
GM (SR) categorically assured that immediate action within a couple of days
would be initiated to restore the facilities as quickly as possible.

for 3 weeks w.e.f. 04.02.2015 from Hon HC, Kerala. Copy <<<>>>
SNEA (I) is the only Assn, we
reiterate the only Assn, present in the Hon HC and opposed the stay
application in the Hon High Court. Our strong opposition along with the
arguments of BSNL lawyer restricted the interim stay for 3 weeks even though
the court initially granted stay for one month. In Hon CAT also, impleading
applications were filed by others but they never bothered to file reply/counter
reply or engage lawyer to argue the case even on final hearing dates. So
comrades, don’t get confused or carried away by the propaganda from any
quarter. Next date is 24.02.2015. Assn will be filing the counter reply shortly.
Assn is pursuing with Management also to file the reply by BSNL in time.

and discussed the following issues:
a. Mutation of land in the name of BSNL: PGM (BW) informed that the progress
is very dull. As of now about 5% to 10% of the land only transferred into the
name of BSNL. Several Circles, the work is not at all progressing. Since the
work is mainly handled by the Plg wing, PGM (BW) requested Assn to pursue at
different level to complete the work as early as possible. Proper monetization
of land assets can be done only after the mutation of land into BSNL name.
b. External projects, Construction of ATMs,
renting our building, quarters etc: PGM (BW) explained the progress in this area and the
initiatives taken by different Circles. Some Circles done excellent job by
taking up large no of external projects where as some circles taken no
initiative in this regard.
c. JTO to SDE promotion: After discussion PGM (BW) informed that
expeditious actions will be taken for calling fresh VC as the VC sent by the Circles
expired. Immediately on receipt of VC, DPC will be conducted and promotion
orders will be issued.
d. Extension of 6500-10500 scales to
JTO(C/E/Arch) notionally w.e.f. 01.10.2000 at par with JAOs: PGM (BW) informed that the proposal fully
justifying the demand is already processed and send to Pers/Estt section for
further action.

proposal is cleared by BSNL Board, action will be taking to promote the SDEs.

9 FEB 15: By quoting acute shortage of JTOs in
Maharashtra Circle, AGM Staff Mumbai issued orders for not forwarding Rule 8
request transfer orders of JTOs from Maharashtra to other Circles. Letter <<<>>>
Till now all the Rule 8 requests of JTOs have
been pursued by SNEA(I) MH and have been issued by Maharashtra Circle as total
no. of cases were less at particular time and there was some recruitment
/promotions to JTO cadre. But due to no recruitment of JTOs, over the years,
there is acute shortage of JTOs in Maharashtra Circle as merely 19% JTOs are
working in Maharashtra Circle w.r.t. to sanctioned strength. Also in one stroke
about 45 JTOs have requested for Rule 8 transfer from Maharashtra/WTP/WTR
Circles and none of controlling officers is ready to relive JTOs without
substitute mainly due to acute shortage and as there is no chance of immediate
substitute in JTO cadre. Though there are no restrictions on mutual transfers,
the restrictions have been put on all Rule 8 transfers of all JTOs from
Maharashtra Circle. Though SNEA (I) MH understands the acute shortage of
JTOs, total ban of rule 8 transfers of JTOs out of Maharashtra Circle, without
any line of future action is not proper & acceptable solutions and SNEA (I)
MH will take up this matter with Circle Management for some practical remedy on
implementation of Rule 8 transfers of JTOs in phase manner by making
alternative/ stop gap arrangements.

2 FEB 15: SNEA (I) MH writes
to Shri. M.K.Jain, CGMT MH Circle about unrest
among the comrades about careless approach of Circle management in dealing with
DE LA arrangements & compulsions on SSA Heads as well as our SDEs to
illegally work as DE LA. Letter <<<>>>
BSNL CO Orders for Looking After Arrangements <<<>>
SNEA
(I) MH points out the following main issues:
·
Adoption of procedure for long-long note sheets by CGMT MH and fear
in minds of officers in processing files creating overall delay in settlement
of cases.
·
How Circle Management creates wrong picture
as if the SDEs are given promotions, when fact is that Looking After is not
promotion & it is just stop gap arrangement to fill vacant posts.
·
Points about the careless approach and poor mindset of Staff
section in dealing with look after arrangements.
·
Ill mindset of Circle management in calculation of vacancy position
of DEs in different SSA, and actual posting of DE in LA arrangements.
·
When 176 posts of DEs are vacant throughout Maharashtra Circle, the
staff section counts only 85 vacancies and out of that 85 vacancies only 23
are filled, making DE LA as great Joke.
·
Giving list of 38 officers working as DE Illegally in different
SSAs, calls for fresh look on the vacancy position and alternative arrangements
to meet the shortages of DEs in different SSAs
·
With wrong interpretation of DE LA & DE Regular promotions,
four SDEs already working as DE LA have been denied their right by excluding
their names in DE LA orders and compulsions
are created on them for working under juniors.
·
When about 38 SDEs are working illegally as
DE LA with local orders of SSA/Unit Heads, the circle management continues with
its Mechanical approach by counting DE posts of rational basis.
·
This happens when BSNL has to pay nothing to executives in this
temporary arrangement and on the contrary BSNL benefits by giving higher
responsibility to executives.
·
Points out how the SDEs are compelled to work in capacity of DGMs
even though they are not eligible to work in DE LA and how one SDE is compelled
to be part of Purchase Committee of Telecom factory when it should be DGM level
officer or minimum AGM level Officer.
·
Points about poor approach of management wherein SDEs far juniors
are compelled to work as DE LA and how three Regular DEs are kept without any
work and how one of them is enjoying “Sound Sleep” during duty hours and how
nothing has been done by management.
·
How one SDEs whose name
doesn’t come in DE LA list is compelled to work as DE CPC (Central Procurement
Cell ) dealing with crores of rupees dealings with procurement of
stores/equipments for entire Maharashtra circle.
·
Points the controversy that SDEs working as DE LA with local orders
continues to work as DE LA without break and how SDEs working as DE LA are
revered as SDE on completion of 180 days.
·
How the request of many of SSA Heads for posting additional DEs to
meet administrative and functional requirement of SSA are shown dust bin and how
SSA heads are compelled to issue illegal DE LA Orders locally.
·
Letter also points out how Circle Management and specially CGMT MH
is biased towards such general HR issues and how CGMT MH is taking keen
interest only in selected cases of his “Chamchas” and “Culprits” by
violating rules and guidelines of BSNL thereby down grading dignity and respect
of post of CGMT MH.
·
How Executives who are in need of
reliving are not relived and executives who are not in need of transfers are
compulsorily relieved without any human approach.
·
Letter appeals CGMT MH to come out of wrong
feedback from His Chamchas and culprits leaders and deal all HR issues in
unbiased approach.
·
Appeals CGMT MH to have fresh look at DE LA
arrangements and take timely corrective action in this matter and all other
pending HR issues.

31 JAN 15: Meeting with ED/Finance: CHQ
President Com. G.L.Jogi, and AGS, Com Daihya, met
ED/finance MS Sujata Ray and elaborately discussed
following important issues relating to Telecom Finance personnel:
A. Proposed
amendment of BSNLMS RRs of telecom finance: We informed ED/finance
that telecom finance personnel continue to be grossly discriminated against
because of inordinate delay in amending RRs to bring them at par with Telecom
Engg. and that this discrimination is unfair, unwarranted and completely
unacceptable to this Association. Simply because Board/directors
from DOT want HR plan to be finalized by BSNL and for that reason they are
vetoing the proposed amendment is totally unreasonable and irrational.
ED/Finance, while acknowledging our serious and genuine concern on this issue,
maintained that this issue has to be dealt by the BSNL/Board and that she is broadly
in agreement to push through the proposed amendment in order to bring about
complete parity between telecom finance and Engg. wings in so far as RRs are
concerned. However, she advised us to discuss the issue with concerned officers
and assured us of her support on this issue. We will be very shortly discussing
this issue with Board of Directors from DOT and CMD/BSNL, urging upon them to
immediately end this discrimination by enhancing the percentage of STS posts to
be filled up on regular basis from existing 50% to 75%. We assure our telecom
finance Comrades that we will pursue this issue vigorously and relentlessly
till the proposed and badly delayed amendment of RRs is approved by BSNL/Board.
B. Filling
up about 250 unfilled posts of CAOs immediately: We
requested ED/finance to initiate immediate action towards filling up of about
250 available posts of CAOs since large number of CAOs are getting retired and
are thus being deprived of their promotion. ED/Finance assured of very quick
action to fill up all the available posts of CAOs as quickly as possible.
30 JAN 15: Congratulations- Dir (HR) cleared the proposal
for holding DPC from JTO to TES Gr B up to the vacancy year 2013-14: We are extremely thankful and indebted to Director

vacancy year 2013-14. We
are also extremely thankful to GM (P) and DGM (P) for their sincere and serious

discussions with GM (P) on the need of completing the ongoing DPC from JTO to
TES Gr B and issuing promotion orders at the earliest, reiterating him of our
continued and total support in getting the preparatory work relating to DPC
like collection of CRs and VCs completed at the earliest. GM(P, once again while
acknowledging the enormous efforts that Association is putting in to get CRs
and VCs from Circles, fully assured that he and his entire team are committed
to complete the work and issue the promotion orders as quickly as possible.
30 JAN 15:
Meeting with Director(HR): CHQ President and AGS, Com Daihya, had a detailed
discussion with Director(HR) on the issue of ongoing DPC from JTO to TES Gr B,
urging upon him to direct the concerned officers to expedite DPC and also
personally monitor the progress of the DPC. We informed Director (HR) that
Association exclusively made singular and tireless efforts for the last more
than two years in getting the Court case dismissed at Ernakulam CAT and now the
Management should demonstrate its concern and by getting the promotion orders
issued at the earliest. We also apprised Director (HR) as to how JTOs belonging
to year of recruitment 1995 are awaiting for first promotion of their career
and have had been suffering for the last about three to four years despite
availability of thousands of posts in seniority quota. Finally,
we requested Director (HR) to clear the proposal for holding of DPC immediately
and very strongly pleaded with him and urged upon him to clear the proposal for
holding of DPC for the vacancy year up to 2013-14. We also informed Dir (HR)
about the massive and strenuous efforts that Association has so far undertaken
and is continuing with in collecting CRs and VCs from the fields units. Director (HR) was kind enough and expressed strong
optimism and interest in getting the DPC work completed at the earliest and
assured that, besides directing concerned officers to expedite DPC work, he
will definitely monitor the progress of DPC personally and very closely. He
also categorically assured us that he will clear the proposal for holding DPC
for the vacancy year up to 2013-14. Subsequently,
we have had extensive follow up discussions with DGM (P) on how to go about in
completing DPC work at the earliest.
