MTG/2018 dated 5th September, 2018 regarding constitution of different teams with specific responsibilities in various verticals in SSA/BA with nominating corresponding Reporting Authority of each vertical at Circle level.

Also CS demanded CGMT to bring all the manpower irrespective of Executives, Non-executives and others  posted at different establishments of WBTC under the purview of above said  specific verticals. It is demanded further to fix up accountability and responsibility to each and every official irrespective of Executives,  Non-executives and others preferably in one vertical  provided with required resources and infrastructure . CGMT assured to take appropriate measure in this regard.

Next CS pointed out to the CGMT that UG Cables of different dimensions are proposed to be diverted from this circle. This would lead to hamper the UG cable laying proposals in future. In this point CGMT opined that at this critical juncture, UG cable laying is not a good position compared to the upcoming technologies like FTTH. Rather he insisted to close the exchanges with less than 20 DELs and the UG cables laid in those exchange areas may be recovered by pulling with tractors and the same may be utilized for fault restoration purpose.

Further, CS requested to the CGMT to complete the pending ATs and other formalities so that the NOFN infrastructure may be handed over to BBNL yielding additional revenue for the Circle. Also the same infrastructure may be solicited with BBNL for utilization for our own network as and where required. In this regard, CGMT dissented that NOFN work progress is not up to the mark for various reasons in the Circle. Specifically he remarked that due to lossy incremental OFC stretches, the progress is getting badly delayed.

Regarding pending HR issues, detailed discussion has taken place with CGMT. In the context of posting of newly promoted SDEs and AGMs, he replied that already order has been issued to the SSA heads for issuance of intra SSA posting as per the requirement.

Meeting with Smt Sujatha T Ray Dir/HR & Admin

A delegation of SNEA/CTC and WBTC met Smt Sujatha T Ray Dir/HR & Admin at Ballygunge Place , Kolkata in the intervening slot of Review Meeting as part of the official fixture. Com Dilip Saha CS/CTD, Com Tapas Ghosh CS/WB, Com Soumen Ghosh ACS/CTD, Com Sankar Sanyal Jt Secretary(E), Com Ankur Singh AO/ETP, Com Anisul Haq AO/TF, Com Tapas Mazumder, CAO and Com Madhuchandra Rakshit represented the said delegation.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, We thanked Dir/HR for issuing the promotion orders from JTO to SDE & SDE to AGM/DE/EE cadre in Telecom, Civil, Electrical, TF etc. and also from JAO to AO. We should introduced the CAOs (L/A) under purview of promotion and wanted to know the hurdles for effecting promotion of 2003 & 2005 AOs in spite of sufficient and indisputable vacancy (regular) existing to accommodate them. Dir HR spoke of litigation in court and that next date of hearing is on 07/09/2018. But then, she is trying to see, if the dates could be proponed for early submission from BSNL. In as much as catch up rule is concerned, the same is not applicable for CPSEs. We apprised her that a figure of 670(approx) vacancy existing in the cadre of CAO and that 2003 & 2005 AO promotes could hardly fill in 450(approx). So, apparently, there is no reason not to go ahead with the promotion. Dir/HR clarified that submission from BSNL is required before the management could go ahead with the promotion and that if the dates of hearing could be prefixed, there is likelihood of orders being issued by end of Aug 2018. 


DIR(HR) was reminded of around 6000 vacancies existing in the cadre of SDE and that effecting promotion upto the year of 2010 should not pose a problem. She assured to explore all means to promote to the best extent feasible. When asked, whether parity in promotion in all cadres can be expected in the coming days? She retorted, that accounts, under the existing system always have had a privilege, however, the matter of parity is under her active consideration. 

E2/E3 IDA pay scales for the cadre of JTO/JAO and SDE/AO and other equivalent cadres :– We apprised her of the initiative taken by the association during this intervening period and as had been suggested by her in the last meeting in Kolkata. In fact, the letter addressed to Hon’ble Minister of Communication in recent past drew intervention from the appropriate authority to see the file return from DoP&T to DOT. Thereafter, DOT had send the file to DPE, reportedly with statement of facts considered to be incorrect. SNEA had already met Secretary/DPE and Advisor DPE to brief on the issue put the facts in perspective with DPE. The submission by DOT that E1A and E2A are meant for absorbees only is thoroughly incorrect. Association requested her to depute some senior officers to DPE to clear the haze. Dir/HR readily agreed to the proposal and said that GM/Establishment is already tasked with the job.

3rd PRC:-Dir/HR exhorted to meet Hon’ble Minister in this regard and apprise him of the situation. She said, Hon’ble Minister was very keen to go ahead with it but unfortunately, of late, no meeting could be held in this regard. She also informed that one or two unions/association had sought meeting with Hon’ble Minister but reportedly no confirmation has been conveyed in this regard. She is of the opinion, either the unions and associations meet the minister to know on its status or management could seek a meeting to apprise on its progress. 

Promotion from SDE to DE:–Dir/HR informed that she is contemplating to effect list no-8. 

Promotion from DE to DGM:–Dir/HR informed that around 700 vacancies are existing in the cadre of DGM. A further up-gradation would be required to accommodate all eligible DEs till date. She informed the management has kept the matter under consideration.

Association queried on when management is deciding to implement CPSE Hierarchy– Dir/HR shot back to know what SNEA is expecting of ? Association said that SNEA/CHQ had always been a proponent of CPSE Hierarchy and advocated for early implementation. The large number of promotion that had occurred indeed brought about a great deal of content but it has widened the notion of disparity too. Dir/HR replied that she would try her best to bring about parity in promotion. However, some court cases are to be taken care of before effecting promotion in some cadres. She believes, the notification could come out in Aug or Sept 2018–hopefully by then the decks would get cleared and left out promotions effected. She also made it a point that notification in respect of CPSE Hierarchy shall have retrospective effect.
