27-05-2020:Meeting
with Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, Director (HR) on 27.05.2020
General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA and
AGS/SNEA met DIR (HR) and had a brief review of the
developments on promotion to different Grades, in
continuation to the discussions held on 05.05.2020.
On implementation of promotion policy, DIR(HR)
informed that PGM(Pers) is seriously working on it. This can
be the only viable option to give promotion due to court
cases and reservation, Director opined. We explained the
relevance of date of implementation as 01.07.2018, otherwise
all the eligible Executives will lose 2 years of service and
it will have serious implications for their future
promotions. Already eligible Executives are not available
for promotion to the higher grades. After VRS scenario, some
more changes can be made, especially promotion to AGM/CAO
Grade by reducing the residency period from 12 years for the
existing SDEs/AOs in higher scales. Since thousands of
Executives are eagerly waiting for promotion, we requested
to consider the changes after the implementation, by taking
the proposal to the Board for approval. DIR (HR) was
positive on further improvements. The concern over
reservation can be overcome by incorporating the Board
direction on reservation in the policy to make it in
compliance with Govt policy. Further discussions will be
held next Tuesday or Wednesday as PGM(Pers) will complete
the assigned job by this week. After that DIR(HR) assured to
take it to CMD.
On the proposed move to drastically reduce
the AGM+DGM posts and other posts, we objected strongly.
DIR(HR) reiterated that discussions will be held with the
Associations before taking any decision. After completion of
discussion within the Management, discussions will be held
with the Assns.
On the review of sanctioned strength due to
VRS, we suggested to distribute the upgraded AO and AGM
posts among the Circles.
We requested for DGM(Regular) promotion for
those already working as DGM(Adhoc) in the Telecom/Finance
Stream.
On reversion of the 2001 rect JTOs passed the
LDCE 2007, next meeting with the Committee will be arranged
next week. We expressed our gratitude for finalising the TOR
which can address the issue.
27-05-2020:Meeting
with Shri Arun Kumar, PGM(Pers) on 27.05.2020:
General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA and AGS/SNEA met
PGM(Pers) and had discussions on promotion to different
Grades through implementation of CPSU Hierarchy, DGM(Adhoc)
to DGM(Regular) promotion in Telecom/Finance Stream, review
of sanctioned strength due to VRS, 2001 rect JTOs passed the
LDCE 2007 etc.
PGM informed that as per the
direction of DIR (HR), he is studying the policy and it will
be completed by next Monday. Discussions held on various
aspects like Date of implementation, Promotion without DPC
for the Executives working in higher scales, incorporating
the Board direction on reservation to make it compliance
with Govt policy etc. In the post VRS scenario we can make
further improvements as the eligible executives number has
come down drastically, we suggested.
Further discussions held on review of sanctioned strength
due to VRS, DGM(Adhoc) to DGM(Regular) promotion in
Telecom/Finance Stream, 2001 rect JTOs passed the LDCE 2007
etc.
26-05-2020:Terms
Of Reference (TOR) of the committee announced:
During the discussion with the Committee members by both GSs
regarding the issue of reversion of 2001 Rect JTOs passed
the LDCE 2007, Committee members informed that they are
waiting for the Terms Of Reference of the Committee. We
brought this to the notice of DIR(HR) and PGM(Pers), next
day itself.
We requested to include: examining the
eligibility of 2001 rect JTOs passed the LDCE 2007 with
reference to SDE RR 2002 and the clarifications issued with
reference to LDCE 2007. Now BSNL
CO issued the TOR as
we suggested. The focus is on resolving 2001 rect issue,
segregating them from 2002 rect JTOs.
It is a great breakthrough in the case. So far the
eligibility was examined by BSNL and the court cases
defended based on the 30.07.2010 clarification issued during
LDCE 2010 and the clarifications issued on 16.04.2007 and
10.07.2007 during LDCE 2007was not at all considered or
produced in the court.<<<Click

25-05-2020:Drastic
cut in number of posts on the anvil in the name of
Restructuring:
It is learned that through Restructuring and Review of
Assets, BSNL Management is considering drastic reduction in
the combined strength of AGM and DGM equivalent Grades in
all the Streams (Telecom, Finance, Civil, Electrical, Arch,
TF, PPS and CSS) and AGM+DGM number in all the Streams
combined together will be about 3300 – 3500. The present
combined sanctioned strength of AGM+DGM is 8953. In other
words, drastic reduction of posts proposed, by about 65%.
The final figure will be divided in some ratio between AGM
and DGM. If it happens, then it will stop almost all the
promotions to AGM and DGM Grade in all Streams as we are
apprehending.
This is in the name of Restg.
and M/s Deloittee recommendation. The same Consultant M/s
Deloittee, in 2014, recommended an increase in the number of
AGM (T) posts from 5303 to 6172 and DGM(T) posts from 1331
to 1607. After 6 years, the same Consultant makes
recommendation for drastic reduction of posts. This
establish that the Consultant is acting on behalf of the
Management and what Management requires, that report is
given by the Consultant, without making any Work Study.
Similar cut in the number of posts can be anticipated in
other Grades also (SDE/AO and JTO/JAO equivalents). The
provisional norms issued in December, 2019 by Restg. cell
indicates that the Circles can work out the revised
sanctioned strength of the Circle based on that provisional
norms and find out the revised strength.
We may have to go for strong organizational actions in the
near future if Management is not coming forward and
discussing and settling the matter.
Management is dragging the Promotions to complete the Restg.
process, making assurances one after another. Restrg. should
not take away the Promotional avenues of the Executives
working in BSNL. On review of the Assets, large number of
posts will be surrendered in addition to the posts
surrendered due to VRS. Knowing the adverse effect of Restg.
on Post based promotions, we are insisting for Non-post
based Time Bound functional promotion in all the Streams.
AIBSNLEA WISH ONE AND ALL
A
HAPPY RAMZAN

22-05-2020:Today
GS AIBSNLEA Com.S.Sivakumar discussed with Shri P.K.Sinha,
Member(Finance), DoT about the payment of balance
amount(17%) of Ist installment and 50% of IInd installment
of Ex-Gratia.
GS also enquired about the latest order of Department of
Expenditure to spend only 15% of allotted Funds in the first
quarter ending 30.6.2020. Member Finance mentioned that the
Ex-gratia Payment Funds have been allotted to DoT as per the
approval of the Cabinet Decision and hence we will not have
any problem to release the balance amount of 17% of Ist
installment and 50% of IInd installment of Ex-Gratia, as
per the assurance given i.e., before the end of June, 2020.
Member (Fin) further mentioned that there is a meeting
scheduled on 26.5.2020 with the Expenditure Secretary and
Senior Officers of Finance Ministry to discuss in this
regard. He hope that positive decision will be taken in this
meeting to release the balance Ex-Gratia payment before the
end of June, 2020 on the basis of the Cabinet Decision.
It is also learnt that DoT has instructed BSNL to release
the amount of Society dues recovered from the VRS Retirees
before the payment of balance amount Ex-Gratia payment.
20-05-2020:Meeting
with the Committee dealing with the Reversion of 2001
rect.JTOs passed the LDCE 2007 and become SDE in 2008:
As reported yesterday, the meeting with the
Committee comprising Shri H C Pant, CGM(Legal), Shri Arun
Kumar, PGM(Pers) and Shri Sourabh Tyagi, Sr GM(Estt) took
place today (19.5.2020) at 4.00 PM. General Secretaries of
AIBSNLEA and SNEA participated in the meeting. DIR (HR),
BSNL board arranged this combined meeting.
We demanded that the matter should be decided
by examining their eligibility as per the provisions of
Schedule 12, Note 5 of the SDE RR 2002 and with reference to
the clarifications issued by BSNLCO dated 16.04.2007 and
10.07.2007 in connection with LDCE 2007 Notification dated
09.02.2007. So far, the eligibility was examined with
reference to BSNL CO clarification dated 30.07.2010, issued
for the subsequent LDCE 2010. The clarification implemented
retrospectively, 3 years after the conduction of LDCE and
Promotion orders. The Show Cause Notice and other actions
taken against 2001 recruited JTOs based on BSNL CO
clarification dated 30.07.2010 should be withdrawn, we
demanded.
The file notings of 2007 and the
clarifications dated 16.04.2007 and 10.07.2007 makes it
clear that 1 year relaxation is applicable for LDCE 2007.
For deciding Senior-Junior clause, the All
India Eligibility list of JTOs to be reckoned, it was
decided in 2007 which is very well clear from the file
notings. Hence all the 2001 rects. of TN Circle become
eligible.
All Circles (A&N, AP&TL, AS, BR, CHG, CHTD,
GUJ, HP, JKD, KRL, KTK, MH, MP, NE- I, NTR, RAJ, UPE, TN and
WB) interpreted the clarification in the positive manner
and allowed all the 2001 recruited JTOs who completed 2
years of Service.
There is no direction from any Courts to
revert the 2001 rect. JTOs, we argued. In various Courts,
the dispute was whether the eligibility is to be decided as
on 1st July of the Vacancy Year OR 1st
July of the Year of Examination, in which Court decided
that it will be 1st July of the Vacancy Year. In
that case also 2001 rect. JTOs become eligible. Only 2002
rect. JTOs appeared in the LDCE 2007 become in-eligible as
per the Court order.
The PCAT order based on BSNL clarification
dated 30.07.2010 for LDCE 2010 was wrongly applied for LDCE
2007 also, which has created the problem.
The dispute occurred when BSNL issued Show
Cause Notices to the 2001 Rect. JTOs, not completed the 3
years qualifying service for appearing in the LDCE, based on
the BSNL CO clarification dated 30.07.2010 in a
retrospective manner, citing Court orders on clarification
dated 30.07.2010 and it is a clear violation of the
clarifications issued in 2007. The clarification issued on
30.07.2010, after the conduction of the LDCE 2007 should be
applicable prospectively, not retrospectively.
Finally we demanded to decide the matter
based on the SDE RR and the clarifications issued on
16.04.2007 and 10.07.2007 and the file notings related to
LDCE 2007. The Show Cause and reversion based on the Court
order should be limited to 2002 rect. JTOs appeared in the
LDCE, we emphasised.
The Committee made an important observation
that the 30.07.2010 clarification cannot be given
retrospective effect and for the LDCE held 3 years earlier,
in 2007.
However, they sought some time to go through the records and
the various Court judgments which made BSNL to revert the
SDEs.
Both the General Secretaries will meet the
Committee Members and the Director (HR) again after one
week.

18-05-2020:Meeting
with Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, DIR(HR) on 18.05.2020:
General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA met DIR(HR) and
held discussions about the progress in Promotions to various
Grades as per the assurances given in the detailed Agenda
meeting with DIR(HR) on 05.05.2020. It was a follow up
meeting.
DIR(HR) informed that he directed the PGM(Pers) to work out
on the New Promotion Policy as it has come to the conclusion
in the last meeting that Post based promotion is not at all
feasible atleast for few years due to the Reservation issue.
PGM(Pers) could come to office today after long break due to
Nationwide Lockdown. We explained that irrespective of
category, ST/SC/OC category Executives are waiting for
promotion for years together. For example, 2001 recruited
JTOs of SC and OC category and 2002 Rect JTOs of ST category
are waiting for promotion to SDE Grade even after completion
of 18 to 19 years of service. But as per the New policy, all
the JTOs completed 5 years of service, irrespective of
ST/SC/OC category will get promotion.
We further explained the urgency for issuing promotion as in
almost all the cadres, except AO cadre, more than 60%
positions are vacant and in many important grades, it is
more than 90%. In this situation how BSNL Revival is
possible, we asked. Director (HR) reassured early action in
this regard.
On the Reversion of SDEs of 2007 LDCE, on our continuous
pleadings to find out an early solution, Director(HR)
arranged a meeting with the Committee on 19.05.2020,
tomorrow itself at 4 PM.

12-05-2020:Meeting
with Shri P K Purwar, CMD/BSNL and Shri S K Gupta, Director
(Fin) on 12.05.2020:
General Secretaries of
AIBSNLEA and
SNEA met CMD/BSNL and
discussed the following issues:
A) 4G Tender, upgradation of BTSs etc.:
CMD informed that there is no progress in both cases. Due to
lock down, vendors are also not coming forward.
B) CMD is non committal on promotions:
According to CMD, the restructuring may take another 6
months time. On promotion, CMD is of the opinion that it is
delayed due to the Court cases and BSNL cannot be held
responsible for that. We refuted the charge and told CMD
that Court cases are increasing since Executives are not
getting timely promotion and due to various infirmities in
the RRs, procedures etc. The promotion Policy followed in
BSNL is that of Govt Depts., not that of a CPSU. In other
CPSUs, promotions upto certain scale is on time bound basis,
when scale is given, it will be treated as functional
promotion to that grade and no separate post based promotion
is followed. So, Seniority and Reservation related issues
are not there in any other CPSU. To overcome this, BSNL
already approved amendments to the EPP to give functional
promotion to the scale upto AGM/CAO/EE Grade in of E4 scale.
We briefed him about the discussions held with Director (HR)
and the HR team few days back and the conclusion that due to
the court cases related to Reservation, present form of
promotion will not be possible before 2 to 3 years and
Management will seriously work out for time bound functional
promotion along with scale. Since Executives are already
working in the scale, there is no additional financial
implications is there for BSNL. We requested to expedite it
to give promotion to all the eligible Executives.
However, CMD as usual, did not made any commitment on any
type of promotion. It gives an impression that Management is
not much serious or worried about regular promotions and
they may try to continue with LA arrangement.
C) Payment of Medical bills pending since May, 2019 and
going for Medi claim facility:
We explained the difficulties faced by the employees for
treatment. Since the bills are pending since May, 2019,
majority of the good Hospitals are not extending treatment
to BSNL employees. Since good hospitals are not in the
panel, employees are not getting proper treatment.
Management has to expedite the process of working out good
Medical Insurance scheme, we demanded. CMD informed that the
fund availability is the main problem and if lock down was
not there, BSNL planned to clear the medical bills by April.
For Medical Insurance also, BSNL require money and the
present financial condition is not good and we are not in a
position to make advance payment now. CMD mentioned that
Salary and Mtce., Expenditure are the Company’s first
priority and without releasing fund for Mtce., Revenue will
not be generated. He further informed that when Salary
payment itself is delayed, we cannot take advance payment
immediately.
D) Insurance protection in view of the Covid-19:
We demanded Special Insurance coverage for the employees as
per MHA guidelines as Telecom is an essential service. CMD
agreed to write to DoT to give compensation to BSNL
employees treating it as an essential service.
E) Disbursement of Apr’2020 Salary:
CMD informed that the present fund availability is about 200
Cr only and Statutory EPF payment is to be done from that.
Afterwards, we met Shri S K Gupta, Director (Fin) also and
held discussions regarding fund availability, discussion
with the Assns regarding restructuring and review of
Sanctioned posts, Look after arrangements, relieving of
Accounts Personnel who have completed Hard Tenure and the
clarification sought by CGM/Kerala Circle in the name of
restructuring.

Agenda Meeting with Shri Arvind Vadnekar, Director(HR) on
05.05.2020:
General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA had detailed
Agenda meeting with the DIR(HR) on various important HR
issues:
Sr GM(Estt), GM(SR), GM (Restg) and DGM (Pers) were
present in the meeting. PGM(Pers) joined the meeting over
phone. The deadlock situation in promotion to different
cadres was the main issue. The discussion took place for
more than two hours on the following Agenda points
submitted to the management in advance.
a) Undue delay in regular promotions to all the eligible
Executives:
Even though there is no financial implication, Management
is not taking any initiative for regular promotions. At
the same time, continuing with Look after arrangement:
From Assn side, both GSs demanded
promotion on Time Bound basis as there is no visibility
for promotion through any other channel due to the various
Supreme Court judgments on reservation. Since Executives
are already working in higher scales, we demanded
promotion which is just a designation change and no
financial implications involved. Management is giving LA
for the Executives working in the higher scales but not
giving regular promotion. The Executives are not getting
the benefit of promotion. We demanded regular promotion
along with the Pay scales instead of LA promotion.
At the beginning, the possibility of
DPC in different cadres explored by the management and
discussed various options. On JTO to SDE promotion,
initially management was of the impression that once the
Ernakulam case is cleared, promotion is possible. Further
management assessed the status of promotion in different
cadres: i) JTO(Civil/Elect/Arch) to SDE(C/E/Arch) LDCE is
held up due to court case on Reservation, ii) SDE(T) to
DE(T) and JAO to AO promotion made in June 2018 challenged
in the Hon’ble Chandigarh CAT on Reservation issue and the
CAT ordered to review the promotions, declaring the
promotion as PROVISIONAL, iii) AO to CAO Promotion held up
due to court case on Reservation, iv) SDE(C) to EE(C)
Promotion held up due to seniority issue among Diploma and
Engg Degree holders. On DE (T) and AO promotions in 2018,
Management is waiting for the judgement copy and the
course of action is to be decided. Different options also
discussed. In any case, DPC for DE and CAO is not possible
before the review, Management informed that all the
promotions are leading to fresh litigations. DoPT is not
giving any direction regarding method of implementation of
reservation or endorsing the Hon’ble Supreme Court order
on reservation. DoPT asked BSNL to wait for the outcome of
remaining SLPs pending in the Hon’ble Supreme Court, BSNL
management informed us. In such situation, after taking
various Supreme Court orders and the court cases going on
into consideration, DIR(HR) come to the conclusion that in
the near future, it may not be possible to give any
promotion due to the reservation issue. Finally management
informed us that for JTO to SDE promotion also, BSNL will
not be able to decide due to the reservation issue and go
for DPC even if Ernakulam judgment is coming.
When all other options closed, now Management started
seriously thinking about the implementation of Time Bound
functional promotion upto AGM Grade. Management informed
us that they will work on it in the coming days and
discussions will be held with us if required. Both GSs
once again clearly told the Management that if the
Management desires to give promotion, Time bound promotion
is the only viable option and work for that.
b) Relaxation in Qualifying service for DGM(T) and DGM(F)
promotion as the Executives are already working as DGM on
LA basis:
Both GSs demanded relaxation of
qualifying service of AGM and CAO for promotion to DGM(T/F).
They were working on Officiating/LA basis, long time,
before regular promotion in 2018 and having sufficient
experience as AGM/CAO. Director also found merit in the
case and want to address the huge shortage in DGM cadre.
Finally it was assured that the Management will explore
the possibility for relaxation of the qualifying service
for DGM(T/F) promotion by taking it to the Board.
c) Implementation of merger of Project/Maintenance Regions
and TFs:
Both GSs expressed our serious
concern for non implementation of the merger orders. The
vehicle, staff and infra available with Project wing is
underutilised. Limited staff and vehicle with the Regions
are overburdened. Management informed that some Man power
planning for Project/Mtce Region is going on and merger
will be implemented.
On Telecom Factory, the orders are
not implemented properly. So they are facing funding and
other issues and the infrastructure is not getting
utilised. It is assured to examine the matter by
discussing with the concerned Officers.
d) Reversion of 2001 Rect JTOs passed the LDCE in 2008:
Both GSs explained the issue to the
Director (HR). Management has to accept its own
clarification issued at the time of LDCE 2007, then there
is no issue remains, we informed the Management.
Management is of the opinion that it require some
relaxations but we told them that no relaxation is
required other than the one year relaxation extended to
the seniors as per the RR. The Committee formed to examine
the matter is asked to expedite and come out with the
solution within this month.
e) Modification in DGM(T) promotions as majority of them
are worked outside the Circle and come back 3 years back:
Management agreed to consider it
once the lock down is over.
Finally, Director (HR) concluded that Management is keen
to give regular promotions and assured to go for the
promotions in all the cadres at the earliest.

18.03.2020Details
of discussions held between CMD BSNL and recognized Unions &
Associations BSNL:
Recognized
Unions & Associations of BSNL were invited for discussions
by the BSNL Management today to discuss regarding
restructuring plan and Revival of BSNL. CMD BSNL Sh. P.K.
Purwar chaired the meeting. Com. S. Sivakumar, GS AIBSNLEA,
Com. Bhagwan Singh, AGS(HQ), GS & President of BSNLEU, NFTE,
SNEA participated in the meeting. Sh. Arvind Vadnerkar,
Director(HR), BSNL Board and Sh. Manish Kumar,
GM(Restructuring) were also participated in the meeting.
CMD BSNL welcomed
all the Leaders of BSNL recognized Unions & Associations and
explained about the steps taken by BSNL Management for
maximization of revenue.
Business Development
SIM Sales: CMD
mentioned that there is 5% increase in SIM Sales in the
month of Jan., Feb and March-2020. SIM Sales in Feb.2020 is
18.80 lakhs and in March-2020 is 20 lakhs.
Market Share of BSNL
is increasing marginally.
In the BB Sector
number of disconnection is very significant and CMD further
mentioned that we have to arrest the disconnections of BB.
In the EB Sector
revenue is increasing 8 to 10%.
Mobile & Broadband
overall initially positive.
Landline:
Phase of disconnections are very less.
New Business:
FTTH – 6000 OLTs integrated, due to this customer base and
constant partner momentum started.
In the rural area,
exchanges having 10 lines, 15 lines and 20 lines is
economically unviable. However, Hon’ble MOC assured for
subsidy. In the 20,000 Rural telephone exchanges human
interface is planned to be changed with the alternate
technology.
He further mentioned
that upto 10 Kms in the rural area localized mobile system
on revenue share basis will be done with Bharat Air Fiber at
a speed of more than 60 Mbps speed.
BSNL Revival
Plan:
CMD mentioned out of 78569 VRS Optees , 78334 VRS
applications were accepted and 198 VRS optees has been
expired. As on date 76929 VRS Optees have been sanctioned
with Provisional Pension. As on date about 75000 cases
processed for PPOs and forwarded to CCAs concerned. Out of
that, 26370 PPOs were issued till date.
He appreciated the
outstanding efforts taken by the BSNL management with the
support of the all the Unions & Associations of BSNL for
successful implementation of BSNL VRS-2019. He also conveyed
the message of Hon’ble MOC that today Hon’ble MOC will
appreciate the efforts and support extended by all the
Unions & Associations of BSNL for the successful
implementation of the BSNL VRS Plan -2019 in the Floor of
the House.
Release of
Leave encashment and Ex-gratia payments:
CMD BSNL assured that Leave encashment payment and Ex-gratia
payment will be paid on 31st March, 2020. Already
77585 VRS cases were processed for the above cited payments.
Rs. 4850 crore towards Leave encashment after TDS is being
processed in LIC. Finance Ministry agreed to appropriate Rs.
5000 Crore towards the first installment of Ex-gratia
payment, however, we are the short of 1300 crore towards the
payment of Ex-gratia. Hence balance amount of Ex-gratia will
be paid in the first week of April, 2020.
Launching of
4G :
Central Govt. made provision in the Budget FY:2020-21
towards the cost of 4G license including GST but BSNL is not
in a position to take the 4G spectrum immediately due to
following reasons:
1. We are having
outstanding bills to be payable to the vendors M/s ZTE, M/s
Nokia and M/s Erricson to the tune of Rs. 2000 Crores.
2. M/s Nokia
installed 13000 equipment’s in the Phase 8.4 has quoted 3.5
lakh for the software/hardware upgradation from 3G to 4G and
7 lakh for green field which is L-1 subject to the
conditions that Rs.300 Cr has to be paid before 31.3.2020
and compensation for Foreign Exchange fluctuation whereas
M/s ZTE installed around 24,000 equipment’s has quoted 7
lakh for the software/hardware upgradation from 3G to 4G and
10 lakh for green field which is L-2 but the conditions put
forth by M/s ZTE is unrealistic. In addition to this the
rates quoted by L-1 and L-2 alongwith conditions has not
been approved by the BSNL Board since consensuses has not
been reached.
3. If BSNL is taken
4G License immediately without procurement/upgradation of
equipment’s we have to pay license fee @Rs. 5.5 crore per
day i.e. to the booked in the books of Accounts.
4. However, BSNL
Management has proposed to float new Tender for the
procurements of 4G equipment’s in the next week. It will
take another 8 months for roll out of 4G.
Union and
Association’s Leaders expressed their serious concern for
the immediate launching of 4G in BSNL to attract more
customers and increase the revenue.
Monetization
of Assets:
CMD mentioned
that during the FY our Bank loan including O/s bills comes
around 40,000 crore. We further required 10000 to 12000
Crore for 4G launching and Rs. 5000 Crore for OFC
maintenance. BSNL is paying Rs. 4000 crore towards bank
interest and we can saved Rs. 6500 towards employee cost.
Roughly we required 50,000 crore for our annual expenditure
but our annual revenue is around Rs. 20000 crore. Hence for
the deficit BSNL is depending on Sovereign guarantee bond to
the tune of Rs. 8500 crore and monetization of vacant
assets. He further mentioned that in the first week of
April,2020, BSNL will get a Rs. 8500 crore Sovereign
guarantee from Finance Ministry. 14 assets were identified
by BSNL for monetization but DIPAM accepts only 11 assets to
the commercial value of Rs. 18,200 Crore for which BSNL is
expecting transactional advise within a week. Three MNCs
come forward for purchase. Discussions has not been taken
place due to COVID-19.
Merger of BSNL
– MTNL:
CMD mentioned that there is a pressure for the merger of
BSNL & MTNL to be completed within six months. Union &
Associations Leaders requested CMD BSNL to discuss with the
recognized Unions & Associations before the implementation
of merger. CMD replied that merger of BSNL & MTNL comes
under the purview of equity structure of DIPAM, Finance
Ministry & DoT. However he assured that suggestions of
recognized Unions & Associations will be taken care of and
forwarded to DoT.
We expressed our
serious concern regarding the non maintenance of vast
Telecom Network due to non availability of man power and
non-implementation of outsourcing tender. CMD explained that
out of 1600 clusters EOI have been opened for 1100 cluster
and tender have been awarded for 280 clusters and he
personally monitoring the same. We brought to the notice of
CMD, the problems faced by field unit executives for
attending the faults in the
Primary
cables due to non-availability of man power in the post VRS
scenario. We further requested Primary cables maintenance
has to be outsourced along with the secondary cable mtce.
and also requested to relax the tender conditions and powers
has to be delegated to CGMs to utilize the existing staff of
BSNL who are having rich experience in attending the faults
to participate in the tender.
CMD replied that he
was aware of the situation and it will be reviewed shortly.
