prefer to opt for neighboring circles instead of serving in Soft Tenure stations of their present circle. In this manner the soft tenure stations of a Circle would remain un-filled. GM (Pers) assured to re-look into the mater. GS, Advisor (HQ) & CS Delhi Circle met GM (Pers) on 21.12.2015 and discussed: a. CPC from JTO to SDE (T) and SDE (T) to DE (T): We expressed our resentment against the casual approach of BSNL Management in handling the court cases related to to Executive promotions i.e. on 16th November 2015 in the Hon'ble Chandigarh CAT neither advocate nor any officer attended the Hon'ble court from BSNL side and the case is now posted for hearing on 9th January 2016 Also the rejoinder has not been submitted by BSNL Kerala Circle yet in the Hon'ble High Court Kerala to get vacate the stay order on JTO to SDE (T) promotions. It is a known fact that due to the stay order against promotions from JTO to SDE (T), SDE (T) to DE (T), AO to CAO granted by Hon'ble CAT Chandigarh the CPCs are held up since long and the BSNL Management is dealing court cases very casually. It is a most frustrating situation. GM (Pers) appreciated our concern and assured to concentrate on all these court cases carefully. b. CPC from DE to DGM (Engg): We expressed our serious concern against non-filling up the vacant DGM posts on the pretext of pending court cases whereas there is no stay order on promotions. Every time BSNL Management is assuring that promotions orders will be issued by 31st October then 31st December and now 31st March 2016, which is not a reality. It reflect that BSNL Management with an indifferent attitude to deprive the eligible DEs from promotions is dragging the issue. It has caused serious frustration and resentment among the executives. GM (Pers) appreciated our concern and expressed his ineligibility in issuing the promotion orders in absence of the clearance from higher ups. AIBSNLEA will further discuss the matter Director (HR) and CMD BSNL for an early decision in this regard. c. Cancellation of transfer orders of SDEs / DEs / DGMs serving or served the soft tenure stations: We resented against the relieving of SDEs/DEs/DGMs serving or served the soft tenure stations through ERP in violation of the soft tenure transfer policy and its arbitrary modification. GM (Pers) mentioned that tomorrow 1430 Hrs he has called a meeting of all Executive Associations to discuss the matter for an early solution. Similarly, he also assured that some SDEs wrongly relieved through ERP have been examined and their transfer orders will be cancelled shortly. Meeting with CMD,BSNL on 16.12.2015: GS, AGS (Engg.) and President, AGS AIGETOA met CMD BSNL and handed over the letter of deferment of agitation programs and requested for true implementation of his direction for the settlement of demands. CMD assured for the settlement of the demands in time bound manner as assured and advised that "SWAS" Programme should be implemented in true sense for its implementation, one date and time may be fixed up in the last week Dec -2015 for its launch w.e.f 01-01- 2016. We also requested for the withdrawal of revised soft tenure transfer policy order issued by Pers. Cell wherein the soft tenure stations of the circle will now remain unfilled which will adversely affect the growth of BSNL. CMD assured to look in to the matter etc. Meeting with Director (HR) BSNL Board on 15.12.2015: GS, AGS (Engg) and President, AGS, AIGETOA met Director(HR) and handed over the letter of deferment of agitation Programs in response to the positive gestor shown by BSNL management and with that all the assurances given will be honored in full and time bound manner. Director (HR) appreciated our concern and further assured that immediate steps will be taken to resolve the demand in the assured time frame. However, she advised to be in regular touch to remind the issues as follow up action. We also protested against the modified soft tenure transfer policy provisions, Director (HR) assured to look in to the matter. Director (HR) confirmed that Committee Recommendations on E-2 and E-3 IDA Pay scales to JTO/SDE equivalent executives proposal has been received by her office from GM (Estt) office and now it is being examined. The Committee recommendations on CPSU cadre hierarchy are yet to be processed by Pers/Restructuring Cell. However, she assured early action and decision on both the issues. She immediately fixed up a meeting with United Forum of BSNL Executive Associations of AIBSNLEA & AIGETOA on 22nd Dec- 2015 at 17-00 hrs to discuss further the pending HR issues.
