Promotion for the years together. Likewise SDE(T)/ SDE(C/E/TF/Arch)/
AOs/ CCS/ PS cadres are waiting for their regular
promotions since long. The Promotions are held up by the
Management in the name of various Court Cases on
Reservation & Seniority issues. AIBSNLEA has

Cadres of all the Streams.
We strongly oppose any look-after arrangement in higher
grade but we demand immediate promotions on ‘Regular

recently, SCT Cell of DoT has issued an Office
Memorandum dated 13th October, 2020 (regarding
Clarifications on the issues relating to Reservation in

PGM (Pers.) about the discrepancies observed in the
Provisional Seniority list No.9 of SDE(T) for the
promotion to DE(T) issued by the Pers
Branch on 10.08.2020 and we categorically
mentioned that the Provisional Seniority List No. 9 is
not prepared purely on the basis of the date of joining in

Litigation. (d)
PGM (Pers.) mentioned that it will not be finalized
immediately and he is already occupied in several other
important tasks and it will be better to have a detailed
