Secretary/CTD met Pr.Chief Engineer(Civil)  on 27.09.2011 and had a fruitful discussion on the following issues. In this regard,  Pr.Chief Engineer(Civil) assured that he would take necessary actions on the discussed issues at the earliest possible time. The issues are :- 

1. Seniority of SDEs to be maintained during Transfer:-

In  the last transfer order some SDEs ,who were senior in the longest stayee list were left out in anticipation that they may be transferred to other circle created resentment among the SDE cadre. SDE,  Sri. S.S. Paul is one of the victims of such policy, who had been transferred to Kharagpur after just three years stay in Kolkata. 

2. BSNL/CSD-III, Kharagpur to winded up:-

The sub-Division was diverted from a planning post in Kolkata on 2008 to accommodate one SDE on promotion for USO Projects. As there is no USO activity, the post may be returned to its original location. We suggest, Sri. Ranjit Ghosh Chowdhury, SDE(C) in said Sub-Division who is going  to complete 59 years by Dec,2011 may be brought back to kolkata as per BSNL transfer policy. Also Sk.Nurul Haque , JTO(C),CSD-II,KGP may be brought back to kolkata as he is going to complete his Four years stay in Kharagpur by Oct,2011. 

3. Seniors in field to be posted in planning and vice versa:-

It’s observed that some SDEs are posted in field long back from their service as JTO(C). Hence they may be posted in planning establishments. Cases of Sri. Aloke Dutta, Sri Tushar Kanti Paul and some others comes under this considerations. 

4. Status of JTO(C) in West Bengal:-

Total Strength :            41 nos.(One of them is posted in Planning due to Vigilance issue)

In WB circle            :     Nos of Sub-Divisions:   33;   JTOs  posted:   28(Jalpaiguri & Suri having 2)

In CTD             :            No of Sub-Divisions :    24;   JTOs Posted:    10

We suggest proper care should be taken while issuing transfer order of JTOs so that they should get  a minimum stay of fours years at any station other than hard tenures and important Sub-Divisions in CTD like TBZ, Ballygunge  etc should get a JTO. 

5. Maintenance of Telephone Exchanges in CTD:-

Some of the T. Exchanges are not allotted any fund for maintenance though fund has been given to SE(C), CTD which creates staff grievance.
