  4 Feb 16:  BSNL CO calls for comments on guidelines for outsourcing of maintenance of UG Cables. Letter <<<>>>

·      This is how BSNL and its staff & officers will be out step by step from all important works. BSNL CO has already spoiled the entire procurement process by making it centralised at BSNL CO and it is known fact that it is controlled by certain vendors under support of some officers in BSNL. In recent past the tender for outsourcing of Broadband Mtce has been floated wherein it is found that rates of tender are ten times higher than the present rates of BB Mtce and important point is that the amount of such AMC for BB Mtce is related to Revenue/earnings of BSNL in that particular SSA @ 3% of annual Revenge.

·      One can understand what will it benefitted to BSNL and to vendors if revenue of BSNL increases and how the vendors having direct approach at BSNL CO will respond to these tenders and how they will neglect works by giving sub-contracts to small vendors and how the money of BSNL will be looted. When there is acute shortage of materials for maintenance stores like EPBT, UG Cables, Jointing Kits and none of issue is being taken care by BSNL Management to proper depth except assurances that ample store is available, then what will be use of the outsourcing of mtce of UG cables that to be to in centralised manner to selected vendors, needs serious investigation and review for better future of BSNL.

·      Anyhow these are suggestions and all comrades are requested to email their views on this subject to Com. Sachin Sarode, ACS East sneavidarbha@gmail.om & Com. M. N. Kotambe ACS West  mnkotambe@gmail.com and SNEA MH will submit our consolidated views. The last date of submission is 1/02/2016 and hence all are requested to email their suggestion immediately.

2 FEB 16:  Com. W. Sheshagiri Rao Amar Rahe!!!!!  Com. W. Sheshagiri Rao takes Heavenly Exits:  

·      Comrades throughout India are murmuring on sudden exits of Com. W. Sheshagiri Rao. It is impossible to believe that the man who addressed the Circle Conference of SNEA Maharashtra with full humour and enthusiasm on 24/01/2016 is no more within seven days of time.

Throughout life, he has rendered his services to executives in DoT and then in BSNL in different capacities of office Bearers at District, Circle and CHQ. He has led TEOA in capacity of President from 1992 to 1994, then 2003 to 2006 and general Secretary from 1994 to 2006. His sudden departure has really created vacuum SNEA and everybody is of the opinion that no can take his place and Com. W.S.

·      Com. W.S Rao, the so called Mahatma of executives in BSNL, has enlightened life of each and every executive in BSNL. Everybody has feeling of lifetime loss as Com. Rao has personal touch with many of the comrades and he was mass leader of officers for years together. He has made so many personal scarifies for betterment of executives of BSNL, Group B status, Change of designations from JE to JTO with increase in basic pay, mass DPCs for different promotions, Absorption in BSNL as per predefined conditions, rather it was his initiatives which has made all of us to reach this prestigious life as compared with others. His role in revision of pay during each pay commission has been commendable and his visionary leadership has given much to all of us.

He has visited about each and every SSA and that to be during difficult times when transportation was not such comfortable. He was not only attending the Conferences/Meeting but he was always available from start of the meetings to end of the meetings and has always taken special pains for growth of SNEA in Maharashtra Circle. He was especially present in our Circle Conference Pune for all three days and was present in house till completion of final step of election process and giving oath to newly elected office Bearers.  He has felicitated newly elected Office Bearers of SNEA MH and showered his blessings on this Circle Body. We were not aware that it was his last Conference and everybody is stunned to know now about the great address he has delivered in Circle Conference Pune and it was the final message of great Hero of SNEA Com. Sheshagiri Rao.

Further he congratulated the CS MH Circle for raising various requirements of stores at various occasions and thus getting ample store including battery sets, UG Cables, laptops for mobile maintenance teams. But added that still there is much more requirement of store items and updated the house that so many leased circuits are pending due to non-availability of MLLN Modems, there is no availability of drop wire for LL maintenance work and TSF kits for cable jointing. He appealed the management for the early fulfilment of these store items so that quality and timely services can be rendered to our esteemed customers. He further narrated the house about the incident of land encroachment that happened in Amaravati where a big portion of land of BSNL was encroached by one builder cum MLA. He narrated how Joint Action Committee Amaravati and SNEA Amaravati in particular took timely initiatives under his leadership and had a meeting with local management, Collector of Amaravati and Supdt. Of Police at Amaravati and saved Crores of Rupees of BSNL. Further he stressed upon the requirement of full time SSA heads for various districts of Vidarbha and Marathwada and particularly at Chandrapur which is very important for quick decisions and actions on the part of management and further development of the SSA. He added that the recent schemes launched by BSNL like Free Night calling and Free roaming are attracting the customers but added that there should be more number of free calls for LL plans so that more lucrative offers can be given to customers. Further, he added that the tariff of various plans need to get revised and it is a requirement of time. He stressed upon the optimization of GSM mobile network and various mobile services. He added that the data speed of GPRS, EDGE, 3G services needs to get upgraded and hence added that there is a great requirement of bandwidth which can be fulfilled by upgrading existing transmission systems.  While touching CHQ related issues, Com Kalmegh added that SNEA works on policy and force management to follow the standard framework of various policies.  He congratulated Com. M S Adasul for getting elected as Dy. GS unanimously at SNEA CHQ.  While defending the issues of Comrades of Vidarbha and Marathwada, he urged SNEA CHQ to consider and resolve the transfer related issues of LDCE qualified SDEs in sympathetic way and insisted to immediately resolve such cases. He added that the issues of Direct Recruits including 30% superannuation benefits, Rule – 8 transfers may be given priority and hence may get resolved immediately.

He praised for increasing the membership beyond 3000 and elaborated how he was successful as ACS West MH Circle by actively participating in various activities like CECs, District Conferences & GB Meets and also calls given by SNEA CHQ.

Ø Com. V B Kokate Vice President SNEA MH in his speech congratulated Team SNEA Pune and ITPC for very nice arrangements in all respects including transportation, accommodation, selection of very nice venue etc. He praised the efforts of Pune team for coming forward and having such a wonderful gathering. He shared his experience of work with Com M S Adasul, CS MH circle and Com S V Bhad, CP MH Circle and updated the house that tireless and sincere efforts of Comrade Adasul has strengthened the association in MH circle and updated that due to his special qualities even SNEA CHQ changed the constitution at AIC Jaipur and made Com Adasul the very first Dy GS of the association. He further narrates that he never has seen such a dedicated leader in last 20 years of associational experience.  While concentrating on development issues Com. Kokate mainly pointed out the immediate requirement of one BNG and one MPLS PE router for Ahmednagar SSA. He updated house that due to non-availability of these high end equipments, the BB subscribers of the area are badly affected, moreover many leased lines are pending. He also updated that it is not possible for the SSA to switch over to NGN technology due to non-availability of MPLS edge router and appealed the CS to look into the matter to fulfil the requirement soon. He also appealed CS to fulfil the requirement of DXC expansion at Ahmednagar as more than 100 new leased lines are pending with the SSA. He thanked the Circle management for fulfilling the minimum requirement of battery sets and updated house how vigorously SNEA MH Circle under the leadership of Com Adasul pursued for the issue since last Goa Circle Conference in sept-2013. But he added that still more number of battery sets are required as almost all sites are being deployed with only one set of battery and many other sites are yet to get even a single set. He updated the house that because of the fulfilment of battery requirement now up time of our BTS sites is increases and it is further resulted into the savings by the means of less diesel consumption by DG sets. He congratulated CMD BSNL for taking good initiatives like SWAS program, but updated that such programs will be successful only if the requirement of store items like drop wire is fulfilled on priority. If fulfilled, he added, it will lead to more customer satisfaction and definitely there will be a considerable growth in LL / BB segment. He also updated that Circle management now has delegated the power to SSA for the purchase of items like tape and Jelly and requirements of these items can now be fulfilled locally. He requested to delegate the power in similar way to procure U-Y Connectors, modular strips for early restoration of cable faults and further added that CGMT MH Circle has found it justified while his visit to Shirdi at Ahmednagar. On revenue and profit matters Com Kokate added that to have more and more revenue we should concentrate on curtailment of our operational expenditure. He put the example of Ahmednagar SSA and updated the house about the activities that are being carried out like, conversion of MSUs to RSUs, RSUs to AN-RAXs, Master-Slave AN-RAXs to Master only AN-RAXs, closing of BMs from MBM switches, BM Compression, Downsizing of Engine Alternators, closing of AC Plants etc. So he updated that by doing so Ahmednagar SSA is saving up to Rs. 42 Lakh per year.

Ø Com. Sachin Sarode, Jt. Secretary Vidarbha SNEA MH Circle while addressing the gathering, updated the house that HR and development are the two sides of a BSNL coin and this precious coin needs to be kept in proper shape for jingling melodiously. He updated that SNEA is the only association which can keep this coin in proper shape by the cooperation of management. He added we can’t ignore on any front if we want to progress further and make positive growth, hence updated that we have to keep optimum balance of HR and development requirements. While elaborating his role as Joint Secretary Vidarbha he informed about the opportunities given by association to handle various issues and his contribution thereby.  He thanked Circle Secretary and his team for visiting all districts of Vidarbha every year and extending moral support to the members of all 9 districts of Vidarbha. He updated the house that only because of the support of Maharashtra SNEA comrades and CS SNEA in particular, the issue of EPF was successfully streamlined and resolved before any other circle in BSNL. He informed the house that only because of the proper inputs on time, 1 out of 6 BNGs at Kolkata was successfully diverted to Nagpur. In this regard he added that, if the requirement of BNG which is persisting right now for many other districts of Maharashtra, was possible to get fulfilled if it was raised at right time because only due to the inputs from SNEA MH Circle total 5 BNGs from Kolkata were diverted to various circles of BSNL. Thus, only because of our inputs four more Circles were benefited including Maharashtra. He further added that he was successful to fulfil the requirement of one BB Tier-II switch of Buldhana SSA in very short time by diverting it from Chandrapur to Buldhana for BNG traffic migration activity and cascading of OCLAN switches. On activities related to association, he added he was very successful to organize various tours of Circle President, Circle Secretary and other COBs at various districts of Vidarbha and added that only because of the love and affection of CS towards Vidarbha it was possible to arrange the tour of CHQ leaders at various districts of Vidarbha. He praised his vibrant team of 9 districts of Vidarbha and praised all DS of Vidarbha for their active support on every matter taken by association. He praised Com. N S Gadre, CWC members along with DS Yavatmal Com. Suraj Bansod for arranging a grand successful CEC at Yavatmal in April-2014. He reminded the promise made by top CHQ leaders for declaring Gadchiroli a hard tenure location and insisted for early action in this regard. He further added that the problem of traffic congestion at Gadchiroli SSA is not resolved by the implementation of LWE project as the BSC is dedicated for the LWE project BTSs and these are the BTSs other than the commercial BTSs deployed by BSNL. He added that the GSM traffic of Gadchiroli is better and much more as compared to many bigger SSAs and hence the requirement of one GSM BSC of make ‘Alcatel Max’ may be fulfilled immediately to increase mobile revenue share for Gadchiroli in particular and for MH Circle in general. Then he narrated the incident that happened at Bhandara SSA where one executive association spread rumours about dissolution of Bhandara SNEA Branch. A false news in this regard was spread and it was intimated that the SNEA DS of that time along with his all members has left the association and has joined “that” association. So considering the need of time as directed by Com CS, he arranged one General Body meet at Bhandara SSA which was attended by all prominent leaders of Vidarbha region and increased the Bhandara membership for undoubted majority to give right answer to the mischievous act of “that” association. Also updated that now Bhandara branch is very stable and is doing very well with the membership of about 41 members out of 54 posted executives. Finally, he thanked Com. S V Bhad, Circle President for giving an opportunity to present his report.

Ø Com. V J Bhandirge, Joint Secretary HQ SNEA MH Circle explained his very good experience with the Vibrant team of SNEA MH Circle and Com. M S Adasul, CS in particular. He updated the house that in his very smooth tenure of last three terms he issued about 660 transfer orders of the executive which was only possible due to timely intervention of SNEA and that also by suitably fitting all cases in the transfer policy norms implemented by MH Circle. He further added that being a staff section executive of Circle office there was a great responsibility on his shoulder not to become biased to any association but to give justice to each and every individual case. He added that SNEA was never biased for any individual on HR related issues. He added that he got the opportunity to play a very vital role while dealing with HR related activities like uploading quarterly request transfer waiting list, SSA wise justified and sanctioned strength of executives, allotment of NOCs for the issue of passport to executives. He further added that he in coordination with Com Adasul tried to work out maximum grievances & that also very satisfactorily.

Ø Com. Yogesh Bhongale, Joint Secretary Konkan SNEA MH Circle while addressing the house demanded for early implementation of 30% superannuation benefits for DR executives. He insisted the CHQ leaders to pursue the issue to get complete 30% of the benefits. He further demanded for early declaration of JTO to SDE LDCE results and conduction of TTA to JTO LICE. Considering the inconvenience observed by the SSAs of western Maharashtra he also demanded for the TERM cell office at Pune for CAF verification. To increase the demand of BB connections among the people who want to take BB connection without landline connection, he suggested that BSNL may think to launch suitable plans. Further he touched various issues like early role out of GSM phase -8 Project, replacement of faulty and poor quality Teracom modems, replacement of faulty FWPs, installation of 3G node-Bs at all SDCA headquarters. Finally, he added that it is very difficult to manage small modifications in subscriber database of CSR software like the name change of married female subscribers and to avoid such complexities he suggested the need of little flexible provisioning software.

Ø Com. Mukesh Wadhwani, Joint secretary Kalyan SNEA MH Circle while submitting his report informed about his efforts in very important task of daily updating SNEA MH circle website which is a great tool of interaction with all comrades of SNEA MH circle. He added not only the members of MH Circle but members from all over the India observe the website of SNEA MH circle for latest updates. So it has become very popular. Further he narrated the house about the resolution of Security Deposit refund issue of DR JTOs in which he played very active role till settlement of the issue.  He also explained his role on demanding E1+5 increments for the JTOs recruited after year 2007 and 2008 batches.

Ø Com V P Sanap, Joint Secretary Marathwada SNEA MH Circle in his very brief report praised the working of Circle Secretary and added that due to very active and quality DS at Marathwada region along with very dynamic CS at Center his job is very limited and he is satisfied with the resolution of various issues of Marathwada comrades.

Ø Com. S M Sahare, Joint Secretary NRU SNEA MH Circle during his report added that the concept of the post of joint secretary for Non-Recruiting Units(NRU) came into an existence only because of the great vision of the Com M S Adasul which provided a tool to handle the very genuine issues of the comrades from various wings like WTR, WTP, ITPC, Civil and Electrical. He added as the issues of these comrades are little different from the telecom wing comrades such post was very much necessary to increase the level of confidence and work satisfaction among these executives and due to tireless efforts of Com Adasul the fruits are coming very sweet. He added that recently it was possible to open a branch of Civil and Electrical wing at Circle office Mumbai which has got the initial membership of 35 executives, but very soon it will cross the half century due to right directions given by Com CS. On development matters, he stressed for the immediate action by management for the rectification of frequent cable cut problems occurring in NFS project and demanded to impose of penalty on the culprits of cable damage.

Ø Com S C Vete, CWC member, SNEA MH Circle at Goa in his brief address thanked CP for giving an opportunity to express his views. Com Vete shown his concern over the delayed results of JTO to SDE LDCE examinations and expressed that artificial problems like various court cases are creating obstacles in the path of speedy carrier progression of competent executives.  He further stressed upon total internal recruitment for MT and DGM cadres and demanded association to take legal actions in favour of its members. He added it’s a need of time to have quick promotions for competent executives to give right direction to the growth of BSNL.

Ø Com. M P Pandhare, CWC Member SNEA MH Circle from Nagpur raised the very genuine issue of first time bound promotion for the executives of 1993-94 batch and added that every executive must get first TBP in four years uniformly and not in five years or six years. Com. Pandhare explained how leasing out of towers owned by BSNL is very significant and how BSNL can earn the revenue of Crores of Rupees every year.  He updated that leasing out of one GBT makes the revenue of Rs. 35000/- per month against feasibility charges (rent of the site) and additional Rs. 15000/- per month against energy charges. In case of RTT he updated that these figures are Rs. 21000/- and 15000/- per month respectively. In both cases these are the figures for first year with annual increment in rent of 2.5%.  He further updated that there is a provision to share a single tower with multiple operators if required and informed that there is a locking period of Seven years if any private operator enters into an agreement with BSNL. Thus added that MH Circle, if fulfils the complete demand of private operators of 400 towers, can earn a handsome revenue and can early come in profit. He also demanded for the deployment of 3G node Bs at all SDCA headquarters.

Ø Com. R S Kolapkar, CWC Member SNEA MH Circle from Aurangabad updated upon the MNGT (MPLS-based Next Generation Transport System)/ NGN project that new PE Routers are coming shortly and thus almost all SSAs can clear their waiting lists of pending MPLS VPN circuits. He by giving   the example of conference of Vigilance Officers at Aurangabad added that CVO has put severe objections on unused and idly laid store materials. So he suggested that while placing tenders they should be placed as Supply, Installation, Testing & Commissioning (SITC) and only after SITC reports bills should be released. He further added that BSNL should display the list of blacklisted, bidders on Intranet portals which will be helpful to avoid further complications and legal actions.

Ø Com. G G Karape, CWC Member SNEA MH Circle from WTR Nasik expressed his views on the working of CS Com Adasul and explained how association flourished at various divisions of MH Circle. He added only because of increased membership he got an opportunity to become sixth CWC member of MH Circle since last Circle Conference.

Ø Com. N S Gadre, CWC Member SNEA MH Circle from Yavatmal in his report congratulated for very successful organization of 6th Circle Conference at Pune. He further reminded very successful organization of CEC Meet at Yawatmal in April-2014 which was attended by SNEA CHQ President Com. Jogi and GS SNEA Com K Sebastin and all CoBs, DSs, CWC Members of MH Circle along with Com. S V Bhad, CP SNEA MH Circle and Com M S Adasul, CS SNEA MH Circle where GS SNEA assured for the retention of all “out of Circle” posted LDCE qualified SDEs of Yavatmal SSA at Yavatmal itself but not fulfilled the promise yet. He informed the house that his recent visit to Delhi got in vein due to negative approach of CHQ. Hence, added that such happenings at CHQ demoralize the common members and Circle leaders remain in no position to answer the members.

Ø Com. S. P. Sonawane, CWC Member SNEA MH Circle at Pune, Com. V R Choudhary, Jt Secretary Pune SNEA MH Circle and Com B N Kore, Jt secretary South SNEA MH Circle, all TRIO leaders being the members from host branch were very busy in various arrangements and their respective committees and hence did not find time to express their view.

Ø Though the reports from all above COBs and CWC members took a time beyond 1800 hrs in the evening the patience of the audience in the hall was quiet appreciable as everybody in the hall was listening very actively and was participating the deliberations one after the other.

Ø After the reports from various COBs and CWC members Com. S. V. Bhad, Circle President, called the names of various district secretaries one by one to present their reports and share their views on HR and development matters.

In principal, it is agreed to pay the GPF advance by the respective CCAs itself once the sanction is made by the BSNL. Same method is followed in BSNLCO now. For working out the modalities, some information is awaited from BSNL. Once this information is received, suitable instructions will be given to the CCAs, Member(F) informed us. Later we met the concerned officers in BSNL regarding the reply to be given to DoT. It was informed that the reply already sent to DoT. Further we explained that DoT requires some more information and the same may be provided to them so that the process can be started at least next month onwards.

19 JAN 16:  BSNL CO calls for details of working officers from TTA to GM Cadre in different Circles and information is to be submitted latest by 21/01/2016. Letter <<<>>>

 

19 JAN 16:  BSNL CO calls for information about the officers working on sensitive post for more than three years and Information as on 31/12/2016 is to be sent latest by today 19/01/2016. Letter <<<>>>

 

19 JAN 16:  BSNL CO takes note of declining trend of Broadband connections and writes CGMS to have close monitoring disconnection of Broadband connections. Letter <<<>>>

·      It is good sign that the officers in BSNL CO have understood the declining trend and worst performance in achievement of overall BB targets and let us hope that they understand the real and BSNL self-made reason for it which is poor quality of BB Modems supplied by M/S Teracom and compulsions on part of BSNL management to purchase defective modem by the customers.

·      No doubt there are many other reasons like cable cut, road widening activities, prompt service restoration and competitive tariffs, but poor quality of Modem is top most burning issue and needs to be taken care from root cause, otherwise there is no use of such letters from BSNL CO to CGMs, CGMs to SSA Heads and SSA Heads to field officers.

 

19 JAN 16:  Quoting poor performance, AGM Broadband Mumbai writes SSA Heads for monitoring working of Broadband Modems supplied by M/S Teracom and asks for serial and batch number of faulty Modem.  Letter <<<>>>

Ø The poor quality of Broadband Modems supplied by M/S Teracom is issue raised by SNEA MH on extreme complaints by filed officers/staff and we have strongly protested when CGMT MH has written special letter creating compulsions on officers/staff and customers for sale & purchase of these poor quality modems.

Ø It is seen that Circle Management has taken the note of unrest among field officers/staff & customers and mainly the difficulties faced by customers and our staff & officers in the field units and has now taken initiatives and first step is taken for calling the details of faulty modems supplied by M/S Teracom.

Ø Though the letter for sale of faulty modems was issued under signature of CGMT MH Circle, but this letter calling for details of defective modems is written under signature of AGM Broadband.

Ø But something is better than nothing and now filed officers are requested to give details of such poor quality modems supplied by M/S Teracom without any fear in the mind and we will pursue for replacement of all such poor quality modems.

Ø If the modems are supplied/allotted to customers and not performing well, the details of such modems may also be sent so that entire lot of faulty modems can be replaced.  The modem in stock of stores and officers/staff also should be checked for its working and the details may be intimated accordingly.

Ø This will be one-time action and at later stage such replacement will not be possible and hence field officers and officer in MM/Stores have to take special pain for submission of details.

Ø It is seen that many of the officers and staff are discussing about poor quality of BB Modems and cheating to BSNL and stress hard for replacement with loud voice and with much anguish during personal/group discussions  or discussions in association/union or JAC meetings but when it’s time to report details in writing everybody keeps mum and this attitude of all of us is well known to vendors and some prominent BSNL officers and hence BSNL & its customers are being troubled by poor quality modems and vendor and some of officers are being benefitted by it with direct loss to BSNL.

Ø Let us hope that all concerned officers/staff working in the field units, Material Management Sections and Stores Section give real feedback about quality of BB Modems and garb this opportunity for getting replacement of faulty, poor quality Broadband Modems supplied by M/Teracom.

Ø SNEA MH will continue its efforts for total replacement of poor quality /faulty modems and try to reduce the troubles of the filed officers/staff and mainly to reduce trouble of esteemed customers of BSNL and get value of BSNL money spent on such huge procurement. 

 

19 JAN 16:  Shri. Ashok Purohit, PGM CM Mumbai writes all SSA Heads for Drive Test for checking call drop in GSM services and personally monitor it and analyse it for improvement of services. Letter <<<>>>

Ø It is fact that due to non-conduction of regular drive test there is no check on quality of services rendered by BSNL and in many of the locations the GSM services are not available when BSNL infrastructure is rightly available.

Ø In Mumbai MTNL area the GSM services are affected many of the times, but it is seen that on the recent visit of Hon. MOC to Mumbai the GSM services of MTNL were performing better than the services of private operators at least in area where Hon MOC has visited. It was not magic but it was the result of special efforts taken to safeguard the faces/image in front of Hon. MOC.

Ø Same is condition in many of the locations of BSNL throughout Maharashtra Circle and many of our officers/staff complain that in his/her residence/office BSNL range is not proper or there is no range at all.

Ø We can understand that the infrastructure at rural area is poor but in major cities like Pune where all new 3G BTS have been installed in recent past, the situation is alarming when our own officers and staff complain about poor or no signal not only in their residences, but in prominent offices like MHS Bhavan, CTO etc.

Ø It is seen that signal is rightly available at some locations but either calls are not matured, not reachable or if call matured the quality of single and speech is poor.

Ø It is seen that the service quality at PGM office at Satara Road and Janwadi Staff Quarters where many senior officers are available or staying the quality of GSM services is much better than other locations.

Ø At many public places like railway Stations, Bus stands, PMC, PCMC office there are issues with BSNL GSM services and needs immediate attention.

Ø We were surprised to know that at MHS Bhavan, where many of the prominent Mobile wing officers along with other majority BSNL officers are seating the quality of GSM signal is poor and officer are using mobile just for getting ring from other end and after receiving ring they call back from landline.

Ø In CTO where BSNL 3G BTS is replaced by new one in recent past, the in house signal and quality of service is very poor including that of Data and all this is result of no-conduction of regular drive test.

Ø It is need of time that special efforts are required for improvement of quality of GSM services and regular drive test, its critical analysis and action for attending issues raised thereof is the important solution for it. Hence all the officers in Mobile wing should take initiatives for regular drive test and action thereof.

Ø All our comrades not only in Pune but throughout Maharashtra Circle are requested to look into this important issue as important step in the direction of improvement of GSM services and supporting by action to our SIM selling teams which will help in porting out of customer from BSNL. 

Ø If anyone has any issue on drive test he may call to Com. S. C. Vete CWC Member SNEA MH {9422055580} or Com. Anil Dubey, DS SNEA Mumbai {9423991974} as both are working in Mobile section and will try to sort out the issues regarding drive test by taking up matter it with concerned officers.

14 JAN 16:  SNEA MH leaders have short meeting with Shri. Sandeep Agrawal, Sr GM HE/Admn Mumbai and discussed some important current issues. The details are as follows.

A.  JTO Phase-I Training for Offg JTOs in Maharashtra Circle: We have detail discussions on this issue and we have brought to his notice the real facts and how matter is being deliberately delayed in favour of some individuals and majority of Offg JTOs are being harassed and kept under mental tension even though they have submitted written willingness for JTO Phase-I training. We brought to his notice that how matter was handled in causal manner in the Hon Court Mumbai and how the new JTO RR was not brought to notice of Hon Court and how it has been resulted against BSNL. We also narrated that as per court direction matter is to be finalised within 12 weeks, but nothing has been by his office either as per directives of court order or as per the guidelines on this subject. Then GM HR/Admn Mumbai informed that it would have been matter of contempt of court and there are chances that some candidates will become senior.  We explained him facts that his office should issue order for training for Offg JTOs who are not part of court case, or who are part of court case but have submitted willingness for undergoing Phase-I training and about question of seniority, it is choice of individual and if anyone wants to be senior he/she will join training and become senior. We brought to his notice that in case if the candidates approached court, gets results in their favour and only in case of applicants, then what about seniority of others who are obeying orders of BSNL. Shri. Agrawal, added that he was of the same opinion that orders for training of all Offg JTO should be issued or at least for willing candidates and candidates who have not approached court of law. He added that after going through the different court orders and mainly due to recent order from BSNL CO to revert Offg JTOs as TTA and then send for JTO training, much confusion was created and it was finally decided that matter should be got clarified from BSNL CO as it would have been impact all over India. He further added that he is personally on job and has taken up matter at higher level BSNL CO and clarification is expected very shortly.  Concluding discussions on this subject, Shri. Agrawal added that training of Offg JTO is on his Top Most agenda and firmly assured get issue resolved at the earliest.

B.   Rule 8 Request Transfers of JTOs from Maharashtra Circle: We have just reminded Sr GM HR/Admn on this issue and he informed that matter has been under active consideration of his office and all the cases of rule 8 request transfers are forwarded to concerned circles for confirmation and ascertaining possibilities of substitutes and their accommodation. He further added that only AP Circle is having about 52 Rule 8 Transfers out of 110 and others are for different Circles. We requested for uploading the copies on the website or requested copies of these letters so that SNEA as well as concerned individuals will pursue for early and positive reply from these circles and he assured for same.  We further brought to his notice that some of JTOs have genuine medical problems and some request are on spouse working ground and as per transfer policy guidelines these cases should be given Priority over other cases and needs his sympathetic consideration. We also stressed for early consideration of request of JTOs like Com. Ankush Singh who is continuously working at Tenure SSA like Gadchiroli which is All India Sift tenure. We also requested for ascertaining possibility of chain transfers of JTOs from different Circles. GM HR/Admn informed that let us see what response we get from these Circles and these issues can be decided on receipt of replies from these Circles.

C.   Supply of Diary 2016 for executives as well as Non-executives throughout Maharashtra Circle: We have brought to notice of GM HR/Admn about deliberate confusion created by his office and some individuals on this crystal clear issue discussed with him by leaders of JAC Maharashtra and when matter was decided firmly.  Shri. Agrawal informed that there is much confusion on this issue and some of the leaders who agreed that Diary is to be supplied to all by procurement at each GM level and maximum rate is to be fixed as Rs 130 per Diary for both executives as well as Non-executives, have now changed their stand and have created issues by demanding cash and not ready to accept supply of Diary as per routine procedure and asking BSNL to print Diary which is not possible at this stage. We have made it clear that there may be confusion on supply of Diary to executives but when all Unions have agreed then there should not be confusion and at least matter of supply of Diary to Non-Executives should be cleared and finalised as per discussions agreed by all. If there is confusion and some of Association leaders are not able to understand the matter may be due to some hidden agenda, let the decision on supply of Diary for Executives be discussed separately and taken decision accordingly. We made clear that due to this dilemma created by Admn Section and some leaders for years together, there is feeling among the non-executives and leaders of Unions that officers are deliberately creating problems for Diary of Non-Executives and every year matter is being given different angle and intentionally delayed and finally matter is diverted to cash payment, but practically Diary is not supplied to non-executives. We reminded him that SNEA MH has already made it clear that we have nothing to say about supply of Diary to Non-Executives and decision on it should be taken as per request of union leaders and for executives we are open enough and only our members need Diary which has content and information about Maharashtra Circle activities and management should take decision at its own and not on the basis of malafide suggestions given by some individuals when the issue itself is not related to them. We have explained him how DGM HR/Admn Mumbai has acted on sms and verbal queries and created confusion by quoting such conversion in the file and how it has created unrest among the executives as well Non executives and their leaders. We expressed displeasure over undue action by Admn section on sms and verbal queries of some selfish individuals on the matter discussed in the meeting with GM HR/Admn Mumbai and have strategically finalised. We elaborated him how these officers have deliberately created similar problems during last year diary for non-executives and again this year are creating similar problems both for executives as well as non-executives and real facts thereof.  After elaborate discussions on this issue Shri. Agrawal informed that that to overcome all these confusions and to sort out issues about supply of Diary to executives as well Non executives in Maharashtra Circle once for all, he has decided to have meeting of Circle Secretaries of all Unions & Associations in Maharashtra Circle and probably it will be held by 20/01/2016 and exact date will be intimated by DGM HR/Admn Mumbai.

D.  Consideration of tenure Transfers in Advance of Quarter: We brought to the notice of GM HR/Admn the facts that though his office is issuing orders for tenure transfers, the overall process of reliving of substitute from Non-tenure station and his joining at tenure station and physically relieving of executives from tenure station takes time of more than six months or in some cases more than year. We requested him to overcome all these issues, the request transfers at tenure stations should be given consideration for all tenure transfers due in that particular quarter in the first moth of that quarter.  This will give some relief to the executives held up at tenure stations and it will help in implementation tenure transfer order on completion of two years’ tenure. GM HR/Admn assured to look into and have decision after ascertaining facts.

E.   Posting of substitute on tenure transfer from Raigad SSA: We have brought to his notice the problems faced by Raigad SSA & executives working thereof due stand of Circle office for not posting substitute to Raigad SSA and it is harassment to the executives working at Tenure station. He added that his office has already called details of work load of executives in Raigad SSA and possibility of assessment of rearrangement among executives in Raigad SSA.  He added that GMT Raigad has started some initiatives for rearrangement of executives and some orders are issued and there is proposal to shift some officers from Panvel to field units and added that GMT Raigad has informed that due to posting of more female executives, Raigad SSA is facing problem. We explained him that Panvel SDCA is non- tenure station and rest of Raigad SSA is tenure station and orders have been issued by his office long back for these changes. As such there is no resemblance in posting officers from Non-Tenure Station Panvel to tenure stations in Raigad SSA. The posting to tenure stations should be done on the basis of guidelines issued by BSNL CO by posting Circle level long stay as substitute and if executives at Panvel SDCA are excess then they can be shifted as per their request either to tenure SDCAs in Raigad SSA or to non-tenure SSAs as requested by them and request of some of executives are pending from Panvel to other SSAs/Units. After getting detail feedback, GM HR/Admn assured to ascertain the facts and get matter reviewed after getting of work distribution of executives in Raigad SSA and till there is shortage, the matter will be given consideration accordingly for posting substitute to Raigad SSA tenure transfers

F.    Shortage of executives in Pune SSA: We brought to notice of GM HR/Admn that as per the executive strength statement published on MH intranet Pune SSA has shortage of 101 SDEs & JTOs which is highest as compared to any other SSA and there are good number of request pending for Pune SSA in both SDE as well as JTO cadre. Pune SSA is facing this critical condition of shortage due to long stay transfers and consideration all the pending request in the waiting list without substitute will definitely help BSNL Pune as well as these individual officers. We also requested for similar steps for SSAs having shortage of executives and  were request are pending in the waiting list. We informed him that similar step was taken during last year to meet urgent requirement of executives. GM HR/Admn assured to look into it. 

These are major issues discussed in the meeting and we also had discussions on the action for Samdru Manthan initiative by BSNL CO, consideration of mutual transfers, chain transfers, request from SSAs having excess executives to SSAs having shortage of executives and action consideration pending request transfers as per the waiting list published on MH Intranet etc.

Accordingly, delegation of SNEA MH has meeting with Shri. Ashok Purohit, PGM CM Mumbai and we have brought to his notice the problems faced by field units due to Non-availability of Nano SIM Cards.

On elaborate discussions, PGM NWP CM Mumbai informed that he is aware about the issue and matter has been already taken up by his office for procurement and within period of ten days about One lakh Nano SIM Cards will be available in Maharashtra Circle.

11 JAN 16: Confusion on JTO Phase I training for Offg JTOs continues: Yes, comrades, it is facts that after prolonged persuasion for more than one month & clearing all doubts of concerned officers, till there is confusion among the officers in Maharashtra Circle about sending the Offg JTOs for JTO Phase I training.

·      The dilemma started due to poor communication between Staff Section and Legal cell of Circle Office, while dealing court case, till continues as some of the officers in staff section are either confused or acting as if they are confused, perhaps this matter is deliberately delayed for undue favour of someone.

·      It is fact that when matter has been rightly settled in Higher court and accordingly BSNL has amended JTO RR, the issue is crystal clear to all except some officer in staff section and legal cell of Maharashtra Circle.

·      We are astonished to know that when this legal battle was fought in Hon Court Mumbai, the important document in support of case i.e. New JTO RR 2014 are neither submitted I court nor brought to the notice of court and hence Hon. Court has given directions to settle grievances without disturbing the officials who have approached the Hon Court.

·      When we have confirmed facts about non-submission of JTO RR 2014 in court of law, then we were surprised to know that the legal section was of the opinion that Staff section should mark the JTO RR 2014 for using it in this particular case and Staff section officers were of the opinion that when JTO RR 2014 are available on MH & BSNL intranet, it should be used by legal cell directly.

·      This poor approach of concerned officers may be to favour officers approached in court of law, has resulted that BSNL lost the case and orders are passed against BSNL.

·      When matter was & is discussed with concerned officer in staff section and legal section everybody says that there is no hurdle in sending at least willing Offg JTOs for Phase I JTO training, but while files are processed and discussed this approach did not appear and files are moved just to favour some officials who are not willing for JTO Phase I training and this has badly affected on the overall process of JTO Phase I training only for comrades in Maharashtra Circle as Offg JTOs from other Circles  have joined training and many of them are either completing JTO Phase I Training or have completed Phase-I training and very shortly will be appointed as JTOs. 

·      But negative attitude of some of officers and deliberate interpretation of Hon Court order just to favour some of officers who have approached court of law against interest of BSNL, thereby delaying the overall process causing loss and difficulties to many of Offg JTOs who are willing to join JTO Phase -I Training.

·      Now, due to hypothetical fear factor created by some of so called intelligent officers to hide deliberate mistake on their part on submission of required document in court of law, or may be to favour officials approached court of law against interest & guidelines of BSNL, finally one letter has been drafted to BSNL CO and on last Friday clarification has been sought to clear this hypothetical fear factor and the matter is further delayed. 

·      SNEA MH has registered its protest against such deliberate support by some officers creating intentional trouble to already suffered Offg JTOs in fulfilling their 15 year dream of becoming JTO Regular and we have been assured that the matter is being pursued with BSNL CO at higher level and clarifications expected within day or two and hopefully all willing Offg JTOs will be sent to JTO Phase I training.

·      SNEA MH has not brought all these unethical facts to the notice of GM HR/Admn & CGMT MH as both were busy on preparation of meeting with Hon MOC on his visit to Mumbai.

·      SNEA MH is also pursuing this matter at BSNL CO, through CHQ leaders at Delhi and hopefully matter will be settled shortly.

·      By now it is crystal clear that some officers are deliberately delaying the case against interest of BSNL and just to favour some individuals and needs to be exposed for their actions against interest of BSNL. If matter s delayed beyond coming Wednesday i.e. day assured to us, we will not and cannot keep quiet & will not be mute spectator of dirty games of some selfish officers and we will take up matter with all competent authorities including Vigilance cell so that prolonged deadlock is cleared once for all and all willing Offg JTOs are sent for JTO phase I training without any further delay.

 

11 JAN 16:  Pers Cell BSNL CO understands its blunder in posting of PGM level Officer at Solapur, and now posting order of Shri. A.U.Vadnerkar is changed from PGMT Solapur to PGMT Aurangabad.  Order <<<>>>

        Let us hope Pers Cell BSNL CO as well as CGMT MH understands need of separate SSA Head for each SSA with full functioning powers and taken some strong initiatives for rearrangements of officers available in excess at many of offices/SSAs and utilises their services at all the needy SSAs.

 

11 JAN 16:  For strengthening works of Vigilance & anti-corruption works, BSNL CO writes CGMs and calls for aggrieved list of suspected officers, list of officer with doubtful integrity and separate list of officers absconding from duty for year 2016 and last date for submission of list is 31/01/2016.

 9 JAN 16: JTO Rule 8 Transfers out of Maharashtra Circle: In recent past, we have seen that many of JTOs have submitted PG cases for rule 8 transfers. When Circle management is taking very positive and firm action towards the consideration of Rule 8 transfers of more than 110 JTOs out of Maharashtra Circle, some of JTO comrades are again creating hurdles in their own cases by putting PG cases. It is understood that one of JTO has applied under PG case and published it in WhatsApp group appealing others to do so, others are following similar steps and have submitted similar grievances in similar manner as PG case. It is not understood that what reply are expecting from management and how do they think that their grievances will be settled through PG Cases. We fear that as happened earlier, this time also such mass wrong and misleading actions may again lead to deadlock on this issue.

 Comrades, may remember that before one year, similar repeated queries in mass were made to some senior officers in Circle Office just for early action, when all request were being processed and finalised as routine matter and about all Rule 8 request transfers were settled one by one. But such mass complaints and bitter argument by some of applicants with senior officer for fast settlement of their Rule 8 transfer has put deadlock on entire process and as policy matter on name of shortage of JTOs has been stopped and since then more than 110 comrades are sufferer.

SNEA MH has strongly pursued this matter with then Sr GM HR/Admn Shri. Pravin Malhotra, and he has assured for consideration of all request by end of December 2015, but it could not be materialised due to his all of sudden transfer. Then SNEA MH has taken up matter with Shri. Sandeep Agarwal, Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai in welcome meeting itself as priority item, and he also has given firm assurance for accessing all possibilities for consideration of about all Rule 8 transfers. We found that Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai and his team of staff section is taking pains by calling personally to all Circle for possibilities of substitute from concerned circles, possibility of accommodation of these JTOs by concerned circle etc, and positive outcome is expected shortly.

At this stage, the action to put repeated PG cases, is nothing but wastage of time and getting routine reply that Rule 8 transfers cannot be considered as there is acute shortage of JTOs in Maharashtra Circle, which is only reply given to all PG cases as done in earlier similar cases. It seems that some of JTOs have become panic and want to create pressure by applying PG Cases and it is also quite possible that some pressure will be built on Circle management, but it should not be boomerang as happened earlier last year putting all rule 8 cases on further hold. Unfortunately, this happens when GM HR/Admn and his staff section are taking proper initiatives & steps for consideration of all Rule 8 transfers.

SNEA MH appeals all JTOs applied under rule 8 transfers from Maharashtra Circle to different Circles, not to become panic and not to take steps unwanted at this stage like applying under PG or RTI cases at this particular stage and create hurdles in their own Rule 8 request transfers. Please do not waste your time as well as time of officers in Staff section in replying these routine and repeated cases. You all have waited for prolonged period of more than one year and please have some more patience as the matter is being looked into personally & directly by Shri. Sandeep Agrawal, Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai and very shortly your request under rule 8 will be forwarded to concerned circles.

If anyone really want to speed up the Rule 8 transfer process, please talk to comrades and officers in different Circles and get information from these Circles about the pending Rule 8 transfers and pass it on to officers in staff section or to Com. Mukesh Wadhwani, JS Kalyan SNEA MH on wadhwanimukesh@gmail.com  or Mob 9420200044. With such information in hand, the possibility of chain Rule 8 transfers from different Circles with proper substitute can also be accessed & implemented smoothly.  But in no case, please do not waste your energy by applying in PG/RTI cases just for getting routine reply in typical format and delay your own Rule 8 transfers.

This is our sincere appeal to all and till anybody thinks that PG/RTI cases, is only solution for his/her Rule 8 transfer out of Maharashtra Circle, then he/she is free to do so and we have no objection for it. Hope all concerned comrades will respond positively and act accordingly for early consideration of their rule 8 transfers.

·      It was then CAO FC Mumbai Mr. Bhaskar, who due to lack of basic and even fundamental knowledge of BSNL transfer policy, poor ability to deal with HR issues and mainly due non-availability of correct stay particulars of executives in Finance wing and his begging approach with then GM Finance for getting self-transfer created hurdles after hurdles for certain Finance wing executives and unofficially safeguarded some of longest stayed officers.

·      SNEA MH has raised strong voice against all these biased transfers and intentional violation of transfer policy guidelines continuously for period of more than one year.

·      In our last meeting with Shri. V.N. Dhage GM Fin Mumbai, he has assured for firm steps for getting updated & correct data about stay particulars of all finance wing officers within month’s period and by respecting his words FC section has called for stay particulars of all the finance wing officer.

·      This will definitely be shocking for many of the longest stayed officers who are successful in managing their transfers, but it is great relief for all comrades who believes on uniform application of transfer policy for all executives regardless of his /her level of approach to GM Fin Mumbai or other officer in Mumbai.

·      We are confident that this firm step will give concrete end to “Hopeless Bhaskar Transfer policy” and step towards better HR approach for finance wing executives throughout Maharashtra Circle.

·      SNEA MH conveys sincere thanks to all the comrades who unconditionally supported the stand of SNEA MH for uniform application of transfer policy guidelines for all.

6 JAN 16:  AGM Staff Mumbai calls for willingness from TTAs for filling up 37 vacant post of TTAs in BBNW Pune (25) & Mumbai (12) for 24X7 shift  duties with preference to TTAs having experience in IT/NIB/Broadband and last date for submission of willingness through proper channel is 15/01/2016.  Letter <<<>>>

 

 6 JAN 16:  Again may be under extreme compelling circumstances one more ODD order of looking After  SSA Head arrangement is issued by AGM Staff Mumbai as Charge of GMT Satara will now be looked by Shri. Suhas Kamble GMT Ratnagiri, who has already additional charge of Sindudurg SSA.  Letter <<<>>>

·      This happens when many of newly promoted PGMs are rightly available in MH Circle and presently not given any justified responsibility. In some of SSA like Solapur, Amravati, Pune more than two officers are posted and one of them could have been given separate charge of SSA Head Satara.

·      If it was matter of additional charge then it could have been given to other SSA Heads in geographically adjacent and nearest SSAs like Kolhapur, Sangli & Pune which has easy by road approach as all three are connected by express highways. But overlooking all such issues, this odd order issued which shows lack of vision.

·      No doubt, the worked will be looked after as being happening in some other SSAs by the way of running files from Satara to Ratnagiri SSA and /or by personal visits to Satara SSA by GMT Ratnagiri Shri. Ushas Kemble, and he may take care of Satara SSA along with Sindhdurg SSA.

·      With this order out 30 SSAs ten SSAs i.e. 1/3rd of total SSAs will be looked by two officer when more than 20 officers of level of DGM, GM & even PGM are available and posted in excess than requirement in some of SSAs with separate portfolio and Circle office without ascertaining possibility of merger or even looking after arrangement as done for about all SSAs. 

·      If the two section in same office of Mumbai, Pune, Amravati, Solapur are merged or given additional charge and every SSA is given Separate SSA heads with full powers may it be DGM, GM or even PGM, then it will boost work culture and speed the decision process which has come to long halt in many o SSAs.

·      It seems that when juniors and even Gr C & D staff are being forced and directed to behave with responsibility and change their HQs in the interest of BSNL, all seniors officers are either under fear of shifting their HQ and managing CGMT MH, or CGMT MH do not want to put these officers at such important post due to doubt on their capacity even to handle single SSA and the same showing full confidence and faith on only some officers by giving them charge of more than two/three SSAs.

·      We have seen such gimmicks earlier in change of HQ of GMT Raigad and additional charge of GM TX Mumbai and BSNL CO order is shown implemented without changes.

·      We should not be surprised that in days to come CGMT MH may found only two three officers who can look after charge of all 30 SSAs and all other officers will kept dumped without assigning any work or by assigning them any of the position just for name sake and wasting of BSNL Money & highly paid important manpower available with BSNL.

·      When CMD BSNL and many others are taking sincere efforts in increasing revenue of BSNL, in MH Circle money & important manpower is wasted by not assigning any works to many of officers and overloading some of officers.

·      This wastage of lakhs of rupees of BSNL on such repeated travelling and on transportation of files and officers which is result of improper and justified posting of SSA Heads and let us hope Shri. G.K. Upadhay, CGMT MH gets time from his frequent official tours and seriously spare 3-4 hours with courage to fill up all SSA Head posts with suitable rearrangement within available manpower.

 5 JAN 16:  BSNL CO issued detail instructions to Circle Heads for conduction of LICE for promotion to the post of JTO Telecom as per new JTO RR 2014 for filling up vacancies up to 31/03/2016 under 50% quota.  Letter <<<>>>

            This is great chance for all TTAs in Maharashtra Circle as many of the vacancies of JTOs are unfilled and number of eligible candidates also are less than the vacancy position for some of vacancy years and hence chances of their becoming JTOs are more as compared to eligible candidates in other circles. All eligible comrades, should concentrate on preparations of LICE with full devotion and dedication for their bright future in BSNL and grab this opportunity of carrier progression within BSNL.

5 JAN 16:  Director CM BSNL CO writes DO letter to all CGMs for signing all GSM AMCs and send compliance. Letter <<<>>>

          We all are aware about the quality of work done by these vendors under AMC agreement and the poor quality of works and grabbing at least 75% of total AMC amount is one of the funda adopted by vendors as there is no awareness among the executives working in Mobile wing or their signing certificates for satisfactory work by these vendors either under pressure from seniors or with careless approach as it is one of the routine work. It is seen that many of the officers are not aware about the terms, conditions of such AMCs and are till signing certificates under pressure or due to lack of awareness of loss to BSNL.

         All the comrades working in field units are appealed to take update knowledge of AMCs available for GSM equipment’s and understand and study the terms and conditions of such AMCs and then sign the certificates of satisfactory services. No doubt that in some of AMCs, no such certificate is also required and AMC bills are paid without such scrutiny creating loss to BSNL. This will at least help us in getting services from these vendors as per AMCs and at least have some watch on expenditure of crores of rupees of BSNL being made on such AMCs where  services are not utilised BSNL to proper depth.
