Based on the meeting and proposal submitted by SNEA WB to CGMT WBTC on 16.03.2023 a letter has been issued to BSNL Corporate Office for reviewing of Tenure areas of WBTC as ensured by our respected CGM Madam.

Proposal has been sent for 4 Hard Tenure at Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong and Ganga Sagar and rest of the Circle (except Kolkata) as Soft Tenure.

If it is not possible to declare the whole Circle as Tenure, then at least following OAs should be declared as Soft Tenure:

1. Kharagpur OA(Jhargram)
2. Bankura OA
3. Purulia OA
4. Jalpaiguri OA
5.Coochbehar OA.

Team SNEA is thankful to our respected CGM Madam, GM HR madam, DGM HR madam and the whole HR team of WBTC in this regard.

On 16.03.2023 Team SNEA WB comprises of ACS HQ Com Promit Gangooly, CT Com Abhijit Sarkar and CS Com Somenath Ghosh first met GM HR & Admin and DGM HR & Admin to discuss about considering 4 stations namely Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong and Ganga Sagar as Hard Tenure and subsequently sending the proposal to BSNL Corporate Office.

Presently WBTC is having only 3 Soft Tenure stations which are Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Kurseong. But we proposed to declare whole WBTC as a Soft Tenure Circle. If it is not permitted then at least following OA should be considered as Soft Tenure stations:
1. Kharagpur OA
2. Purulia OA
3. Bankura OA
4. Jalpaiguri OA
5. Coochbehar OA.

We have discussed the above proposal in detail along with all possible inputs.

After details discussion GM HR & Admin ensured to consider our proposal.

After meeting GM HR & Admin, Team SNEA WB met CGMT WBTC.

We elaborately discussed about considering WBTC circle as Soft Tenure and 4 stations (as mentioned above) as Hard Tenure. We also mentioned that as on date in our circle we are having a shortfall of 198 executives in telecom wings which certainly can be met if WBTC is declared as Tenure circle. Our own executives also will get their benifit for serving difficult areas of WBTC.

After detailed discussion, CGM madam ensured to send the proposal to BSNL Corporate Office.

The proposal letter of SNEA WBTC was handed over to CGM and GM HR & Admin by CS.

We will continue the persuasion till it's finalization.

Letter given to CMD BSNL on withholding of MSRR Draft Policy by the Forum of Associations of BSNL. [Letter]

Today, 12.12.22, on behalf of SNEA, Com. Somenath Ghosh, CS and Com. Promit Gangooly, ACS(HQ) met with CGM, WBTC in her chamber. Discussion took place on various points as highlighted below:-

1. Discussion on Pension issue for deceased/retired BR employees - At the outset when the topic was placed before CGM Madam, she was kind enough to immediately call the nodal officer in the BSNL CO ND. As learnt, all the cases are lying at the LIC end. Clarifications on some issues raised by LIC have already been submitted by CO ND. CGM Madam requested the officer for further sincere solicitation on the matter with LIC.

2. Manpower shortage and transfer issue - Already due to the strong persuasion of SNEA, CO WBTC has indicated the severe manpower shortage in WB to BSNL CO ND. In reply BSNL CO ND has admitted partially to the fact and revised the sanctioned strength in SDE, AGM & DGM level in WBTC. But still date there is as such no improvement in the manpower strength in WBTC as there are almost 200 posts lying vacant in the executive cadre. CGM assured to look into this matter and will send Reminder to CO ND at the earliest.

3. Posting of officers from CTD to WBTC - Another major breakthrough in this meeting was to convince CGM Madam against the circular of BSNL CO ND where it has treated CTD and WBTC as the same circle for counting circle seniority. Madam readily realized the loophole of the circular and assured to take up this issue with DIR(HR). If the matter gets resolved, then many of the willing executives from CTD would join WBTC happily as there would be a circle break in their tenure.

4. Transfer and Posting - We discussed the matter for a few of our comrades. But as it is too early, so there is not much to divulge at this moment. However in case of Rule-8 cases, madam has assured that as and when officers join, the candidates will be released as per the serial number only.

5. EPF issues of Bankura - The matter is long pending. When we brought the matter in the discussion, Madam then and there summoned DGM (Fin) madam and enquired about the status. As per DGM (Fin) the matter is in advance stage. But CGM Madam advised that if there is any problem at the local office at DGP, then the matter may be placed at her desk. She would further take up the issue at the state level of EPF office. We can hope that this matter will be resolved at the earliest.

After this meeting, we met with Sr. GM (Fin), WBTC. As usual he was also very amicable. We mainly discussed two points with him:-

1. EPF issue of Bankura - Sr. GM(Fin) is himself monitoring the issue and assured that the matter is being dealt with utmost sincerity and going to be resolved very soon. Let us also hope for the best in this case as we have been assured by the highest chairs in the circle in this case.

2. Transfer issue of Com. Ganesh Ghosh, AO (Suri) - Sr. GM (Fin) told that he is personally aware of the matter. However he insisted that the officer is to once again apply in the OTP. We tried our level best to convince him that the candidate had already applied in several channels and this time he should be transferred based on those prayers. But he insisted that as BSNL CO ND has issued circular, so on administrative ground it would be not so possible for him to transfer the officer at this moment as it may open floodgate for him. However he assured that in the coming January when the OTP window will open, he will look after his case personally and transfer him at the earliest. As he has assured in this case, so this time we accepted his words in good value. We will also take up this matter with all concerned in the coming January.

There was some other discussion on miscellaneous issues which are not worth mentioning here. But overall the discussion was very positive and both CGM Madam and Sr. GM (Fin) were very sincere to all the issues we flagged. So we thank both of them for their kind cordial gesture. We hope that all these matters will get into the desired shape in the coming days. Until then, keep united and stay strong!
Long live SNEA, Long live BSNL!

Dear Comrades,
Today 04/11/2022 at 1130 hrs, we have discussed with Director HR about need of strong and higher level persuasion of pending court case and stay by CAT Kolkata on AGM promotions.
It is reported that one DM from BSNL CO is deputed to Kolkata for pursuing the issues at CAT Kolkata and matter is also being regularly pursued with the CGM Kolkata and his team.
Now, it has been decided by Court that matter will be either heard in the chamber or decided by hearing. It is expected that in coming week, the matter will be decided suitably.
Director HR assured that management is keen on issuing AGM Promotion orders for all wings and further course of action will be taken as per outcome of the case at CAT Kolkata.
We also brought to notice of Director HR, the other issues/hurdles related to AGM Promotions and he assured to look into it positively.
We also discussed about avoidable delay in issuing SDE to EE/AGM Elect Promotions and he immediately intervened and directed to complete the process possibly by today itself.
If certain issues reported on issuing posting orders and missing APARs in only few cases are resolved today, orders are expected today itself otherwise order is expected by coming Monday.
We have discussed many other issues and we have received positive directions/response from Management and the details of discussions will be updated on website shortly.

<<SNEA CHQ Update on AGM Promotions>>

Regarding SDE to AGM Promotions today GS SNEA and GS AIGETOA along with other OBs had meeting with CMD BSNL. We requested for issuing Promotion orders as per recent directions from CAT Kolkata.

CMD BSNL has assured to go ahead with AGM Telecom Promotions. To decide the quantum of SDEs to be promoted or where to go ahead with promotions, the legal opinion has been called from senior advocate at Delhi as well as from advocate at Kolkata. The legal opinions are expected by 06/10/2022. Further course of actions will be decided as per the legal opinion.

We requested to issue AGM promotions in Electrical wing as there is no any hurdle in it. This was accepted by by CMD and informed that he has issued directions to go ahead with SDE to AGM Promotions in Electrical wing.

On 30.09.2022. SNEA WB team met with Smt. Madhu Arora, Hon. CGM, WBTC. At the outset we thanked her for giving us time from her extremely busy schedule. Then there was some detailed discussion on the following matters.

1. SNEA WB has already submitted one letter regarding online attendance system. The same was again discussed. We also highlighted the demands of the employees like clean toilet, canteen etc. Madam also admitted the genuineness of the issues and assured to work upon it at the earliest.

2. Regarding posting of new AGMs in WBTC, we highlighted the requirements in Krishnanagar, Berhampore, Jalpaiguri and Raiganj. As there are only 2 AGMs joining at present, hence they would be posted in Krishnanagar and Jalpaiguri considering the prevailing condition. However madam assured that in the very next phase, whenever some more officers will join WBTC, they may be sent to the other OAs.

3. Regarding transfer posting cases of some of our members, madam assured that all the cases will be entertained as much as possible such that the equilibrium can be maintained among the OA's work forces. As currently the HR Cell are completely involved in the coming NE Membership Verification process, once the same completes, these matters will be processed.

4. The matter related with TF Kharagpur was also discussed in the meeting. We highlighted that there is only one AGM posted at that place. It is getting more and more difficult to run the office due to non payment of the security guards. Madam pointed out that the security agency is not submitting the bill in time. This is one of the reasons for the delay in the payment. We also enquired about the proposal of merging the TF with KGP BA to which madam informed that as the matter is under Vigilance and once some of the items get scrapped, the merger may not be possible to avoid future complicacy.

Some of the issues like WBSEDCL Pole usags, CM related issues were also discussed in the meeting.
At last we conveyed puja greetings to madam and the same was also reciprocated by her.

We also wish each member of the SNEA Family a HAPPY DURGA PUJA..

"Dear Comrades,
As updated earlier, SNEA is putting it's all out efforts for vacation of stay granted by CAT Jabalpur on SDE to AGM promotions.
Earlier , we have tried our level best to conivience petetioner to withdraw the case and he also was agrred for it, but due to certain issues and developments thereafter, later he informed that he cannot withdraw the case.
Accordingly affected five SNEA members from Jabalpur & Bhopal who are SDEs deprived of AGM promotions due to stay by CAT Jabalpur have submitted two applications in CAT Jabalpur i.e. first for intervention in the case and second for vacation of stay and both the cases are registered vide case no. 1142/2022 and 1143/2022 respectively.
BSNL also has submitted review application in CAT Jabalpur and main prayer is vacation of stay by preponement of date.
It is clear that BSNL is also putting all efforts in vacation of stay.
The date of hearing is given as 07/09/2022.
BSNL application for preponement of date is registered vide case no. 1139/2022
and application for vacation of stay is regustred vide case no. 1140/2022.
Let us pray for vacation of stay on SDE to AGM promotions on 07/09/2022.
SNEA will continue its efforts by all means for vacation of stay from CAT Jabalpur and issuing AGM promotions for all wings and cadres.
Let us hope for best."

"Dear Comrade,
GS SNEA along with GS AIGETOA and GS AIBSNLEA have elaborate discussions with Director HR and CMD BSNL today.
Though , we tried to get order issued today, same could not happened as stay order has been revealed by BSNL and entire process of DPC file moment is through e file.
After elaborate discussions on our insistence for issuing promotion orders today both Director HR and CMD BSNL have informed that once stay is granted and order is received by BSNL , order cannot be issued.
But it has been decided to take immediate action for challenging this CAT order in High Court Jabalpur by engaging prominent advocate.
One can understand that there is no ground to grant stay , and hence chances of vacation of stay are more.
Accordingly, directions have been issued to CGM MP and GM JBP to challenge this stay in HC Jabalpur for vacation of stay.
The stay will be surely vacated by HC as promotion process of MT and AGM are different and not having direct impact on it.
It is good that entire process of DPC is over and only formal approval of DPC report and issuing Promotion order was pending by today evening when this court case was received by BSNL.
BSNL has already filed caveats in different courts and hence in all other cases , court case is admitted, but stay is not granted.
It is understood that this case was not listed in CAT JBP today and same has been heard as specail case before luch and stay has been granted.
Once this stay is vacated, the promotion orders will be issued within no time.
Please be assured that SNEA CHQ will continue its persuasion for early vacation of stay and issuing AGM promotion orders without further delay.
Let us hope for the best."

"Dear Comrades,
After seeing the agenda points with the meeting of our Respected GS with CMD, we are receiving messages from many comrades about point no 2 of Para B i.e. E1+5 increments to all JTOs/JAOs upto 08.07.2014.
The first demand of SNEA is E2 for JTO and E3 for SDE.
As you all know E1+5 increments were extended upto JTOs/JAOs of 2010 batch.
On recent past management replied on the reply of Amhadabad CAT that BSNL management has already approved the proposal of E1+5 upto 08.07.2014. But practically that has not been implemented in BSNL. As it has already been replied by BSNL management our CHQ is asking for its implementation. but it does not mean SNEA wants E1+5 upto 08.07.2014 only. Demand of our CHQ is E1+5 increments to all JTOs/JAOs till finalization of E2/E3 scale.
If you all go through the SNEA CHQ Website, you may see that after formation of our new CHQ, the CHQ body met with Director(HR) and categorically demanded E1+5 increments to all JTOs/JAOs till finalization of E2/E3 scale."

"Dear Comrades,
Today SNEA CHQ has elaborate discussions with Shri P K Purwar ji CMD BSNL on different development and HR issues . Meeting lasted for about 50 minutes.
Details will be updated on website.
We are glad to inform that during discussions bottleneck issue in getting orders issued for SDE to AGM Promotions has been discussed in depth.
After elaborate discussions, CMD BSNL was kind enough to give his consent for issuing AGM promotion orders on the basis of procedure and guidelines followed by DoPT in issuing promotion in their office.
Team of senior officers in BSNL will visit/get information from DoPT and accordingly the promotion orders will be issued for AGM cadre in all wings.
Thereafter issue of DGM promotions will also be take care.
The issue of consent and signature of association leaders /GS was also discussed and CMD BSNL was kind enough to confirm that there is no need of signature or consent from any Association.
This deadlock and bottleneck issue in AGM promotions is over.
Accordingly, the SDE to AGM promotions for wings are expected shortly."

"Dear Comrades,
Yesterday and Today Com Vimal AGS Com Satish Kumar CS NTR and GS have elaborate discussions on the proposed promotion from SDE to AGM with PGM Pers, different Officers in Vigilance section and with Director HR.

The work of DPC for SDE to AGM in Telecom wing promotions is in full swing. VC of about 75% executives is received by Pers Section and remaining VCs are expected by tomorrow 17/06/2022 as assured by concerned officers.
DPC related works are going on and officers in DPC cell are working in it.
Further action to fill up vacant post of EEs/DES in Civil wing, Electrical wing, Architecture wing and CSS wings are also being started in parallel to SDE T to AGM Promotions.
Thus the attempts are being made to issue promotions from SDE to AGM Telecom or equivalent promotions i.e. SDE to AGM in Civil, Electrical, Arch and CSS wings.

It is expected that SDE to AGM Promotions of all wings will be issued together.

As of now, one court case is registered for AO to CAO account wing promotions and hence it may take some time more.
The issues due to court case by one of SDE Civil at Alahabad court are being pursued by concern officers, and we are hopeful that the pendency of court case will not become hurdle is Civil wing SDE to EE promotions.

The final call on issuing promotion orders will be taken in next week after reviewing the progress and by having fresh discussions among associations and with management.
Let us hope for the best."

As discussed, we have submitted the above response to the appeal made by BSNL management.

In response to that we had meeting with PGM SR BSNL CO wherein she has appreciated the stand taken by SNEA and gave firm assurances in resolution of issues through Dialogue.

Then PGM SR arranged meeting with Director HR BSNL Board and we have elaborate discussions on the issues in charter of demands.

Director HR also appreciated the stand of SNEA and assured to resolve the issues with positive response through dialogue.

Then we had meeting with CMD BSNL and have discussions of the issues related to DOT and requested him to recommend the issues approved by BSNL Board to DoT and we will pursue these issues at DoT.

CMD BSNL was kind enough to give his consent for same and directed us to initiate dialogue so that we can have some decisions on the HR issues.

After detailed discussions, Director HR appealed that in view of positive discussions on both the sides; SNEA should review decision of the agitational programme and come forward for special meeting on all the issues raised by SNEA including issues that are included in today's letter.

In good HR gesture, he offered that he can come to Pandal and meet the comrades on hunger fast and other comrades supporting them.
Finally, Shri. Arvind Vadnerkar, Director HR BSNL Board, Mrs. Anita Johri, PGM SR, Mrs. Samita Luthra, GM Rect/Trg BSNL CO along with Shri. Santosh DGM SR, Shri. K.M. Ruhela AGM SR and team of SR section visited the pandal and offered juice to Com Pintoo Kumar, JSE and Com Shashi Kant DS Patna and formally appealed to withdraw the agitational programme. Director HR further appealed to come forward for dialogue and try to resolve the issues to best possible extent which was responded very positively by SNEA leaders present in pandal.

Director HR along with his entire team was present in Pandal for about 40 minutes and has firmly assured to resolve all the issues which are in hands of BSNL.

We have requested to recommend the issues pertaining to DOT & Govt of India with positive note from BSNL Management and Director HR has assured for same.

DGM SR handed over the copy of letter for special meeting with SNEA between 4th to 6th May 22.

But it was finally confirmed by Director HR that meeting with SNEA will be held on 05/05/2022 at 1600 hrs.

With such very positive development over the day, we have withdrawn the agitational programme on its 66th day, which is historic day for our agitational programme.

Though , we have withdrawn the agitational programme, we are committed to resolve the issues.

Our continuous struggle for 66 days in heavy cold as well as very Hot season shows our commitment towards the resolution of HR issues of executives in BSNL and we will get it done at any cost.

We will try our level best for resolution of issues through Dialogue and we are hopeful that we will get very positive response from all. If we do not get positive response through dialogue, we are free to reopen all channels for resolution of issues.

For us as SNEA, the resolution of HR issues of Executives is of top most priority and we will continue the same more vigorously through continuous dialogue.

We convey sincere thanks to all the beloved comrades of SNEA who have given strength for agitational programme for last one year in general and for last 66 days in particular. We assure all rank and file of SNEA that your scarifies will not go in vain and we will see that all the issues are resolved in favour of BSNL executives in general and SNEA members in particular.

The details of discussions with PGM SR, Director HR, and CMD BSNL will be uploaded on website shortly.

Hon'ble Minister had gone through our representation and responded positively and assured to take up the issues on top priority at appropriate level.

It is not a mere feet for SNEA as this being part of ongoing agitation was covered by national media houses including The Economic Times.

Today, before relinquishing as Director (CM), Sri S K Mishra has put in motion the wheels by placing the PO for 4G services. A landmark decision and a historic day for BSNL.

Although, SNEA will continue to strive for launch of 4G services at the earliest.

They explained the issues to them related to Pay scales and Time Bound Promotion policy and the CAT, Hyderabad order against taking any action on the proposed amendments in the Rect Rules.

Dy CLC has written letter to CMD BSNL regarding the non settlement of Time Bound Promotion policy and Pay scales in BSNL.

Lack of persuasion of the matter in DoT is the reason for non settlement of the issues which resulted in the Indefinite Hunger Fast, Dy CLC noted.

Dy CLC has written to CMD to seriously pursue the matter in DoT and to settle the issues.

Dy CLC acknowledged the genuineness of our demands and the compulsion of the Association to go for Indefinite Hunger Fast.

When whole country celebrate Holi, SNEA Comrades are on Hunger Fast on the 19th day for a better future of all the BSNL Executives and the beloved Company BSNL.

[SNEA SHQ Meeting with CGM WBTC on 14.03.2022]

Today SNEA SHQ body comprising of CS Com Somenath Ghosh, VP Com M.R. Bhuiya, ACS HQ Com Promit Gangooly, ACS(Civil) Com Bhaskar Ghanatra and CT Com Abhijit Sarkar met with CGM WBTC and discussed following.
1. Manpower Restructuring - at the outset CS conveyed sincere thanks to CGM for her timely response based on the demand of associations to submit requisition of manpower based on operational norms prescribed in the Restructuring Order.
It is because of this letter only, BSNL corporate Office has sought data from all circles for their manpower requirements/implementation.
WB is having huge shortage on JE,JTO,SDE, AGM, DGM Cadre though as per restructuring WB was treated under excess manpower category!

It would not be an exaggeration that our association played the pivotal role in the calculation of the manpower as per the norms.

2. LICE JTO Vacancy - CS requested CGM to take up the matter with Director HR to generate vacancy for JTO LICE so that eligible JE may able to sit in the exam. CGM already wrote the letter to BSNL CO on huge shortage of JTO in WB and thus CGM ensured to look into the matter further.

3. Request for enhanced requisition of DGM post - CS requested CGM to review her proposal which has been sent earlier. On that proposal number of DGM was considered as 21 where as on restructuring plan it was 32. We requested CGM to review on this by posting atleast one DGM at every OA. CGM ensured to look into.

4. Kalimpong Media hiring - on query CGM intimated that the tender for hiring media for Kalimpong may not mature due to huge expenditure and high rates quoted by the vendor.
We requested CGM to provide immediate alternate solution for the media of Kalimpong. CGM informed that if the tender does not mature, OFC laying/hanging will be started shortly.

Lastly on behalf of SNEA, CS congratulated CGM and her family as her husband took the charge of GM Kolkata Metro in addition to his regular charge of GM Eastern Railways. Thus the meeting concluded on a positive note.

-Team SNEA WB

From today, SNEA restarted the Hunger Fast, Day and Night (24 hours) after the Police action on 22nd and 23rd.

Hereafter SNEA will continue the Indefinite Hunger Fast including holidays, Sundays etc as we started the fasting 24 hours from today.

SNEA WB shows and extends the solidarity to Black Badge & Demonstration program observed by SNATTA today, on 14.03.2022.

CS SNEA WB Com Somenath Ghosh joined in their demonstration program at CGM Office and encouraged SNATTA team for their struggle to get their legitimate demands.
CS SNEA WB also ensured to extend all kind of support and coordination for their success and most importantly to pursue for the creation of vacancy for JTO LICE exam in WB circle. To show this solidarity, he also wore the Black Badge through out the day, even in the meeting where SHQ met with CGM WBTC.

-Team SNEA WB

XXXI All India Conference of Sanchar Nigam Executives' Association is going to be held on 12th & 13th April 2022 at Visakhapatnam.

Also eligible JEs will be able to get their legitimate rights to sit for the LICE exam.

"Conciliatory talk by Dy Chief Labour Commissioner:

In an unexpected move, Dy Chief Labour Commissioner initiated conciliatory talks and called for discussion on 04.03.2022, A/N. GS, President and AGS attended the meeting. From our side, Assn explained the violation of the Terms and conditions for absorption which defines the promotional avenues and Pay scales of BSNL Executives. Further management violating various understanding reached with the Associations on the Promotion Policy and the Pay scales. Management is violating the agreements already reached. The Promotion Policy already approved by the Board in 2018 is not implemented. The E2 and E3 pay scales from 01.01.2007 recommend by BSNL is not getting approved by DoT. At the same time management is proposing to amend the RRs which is already scrapped with 12 year stagnation instead of 5 years given in the approved policy and lowering the pay scales from E3 to E2 and E2 to E1. The Executives recruited after 2007 are suffering a pay loss of more than Rs 10,000, every month. Since management is not acting on the settlement of the issues, SNEA forced to continue the agitation.

Management informed that both issues are with DoT and under persuasion. (But in their written reply, management informed that Time Bound Promotion is not feasible after VRS!). However, Dy CLC not at all convinced on the reply as the issues are in DoT since 2018 and 2017 onwards. Further Dy CLC told that management cannot go back from the agreements and the assurances given earlier and the lowering of pay scale of employees is not the right thing to do. On these points, he will write to BSNL management.

Normally conciliatory talk takes place during the agitation programs by the Trade Unions and not by the Associations. Management also not had taken the issue with Labour Commissioner.

However, it is understood that Govt taken the agitation very seriously and Secretary/DoT send the notice to Labour Secretary and Labour Secretary directed the Chief Labour Commissioner to have the Conciliatory talks with SNEA."

With the strong persuasion of SNEA WB, Requisition for Civil wing has also been sent to BSNL Corporate Office. [Letter]

Com. Jagdish, CS Odisha joined the hunger fast Com. P. Abhimanyu, GS BSNLEU, Com. Satish, CS NTR and other Comrades of NTR New Delhi graced the occasion.

From Circle Office & other Zones of WB, SNEA comrades have extended their support in this hunger fast.

CS Com. Somenath Ghosh and COM DS KGP Kalipada Maity are now seated in the Hunger Fast. SNEA Zindabad!

Today, CS Com. Somenath Ghosh and DS Kharagpur Com. Kalipada Maity have set out for New Delhi to extend support to SNEA CHQ fighting for our demands. Best of luck to them! SNEA Zindabad!

Today, SNEA WB Team comprising of CS Com. Somenath Ghosh, VP Com. M. R. Bhuiya and ACS(HQ) Com. Promit Gangooly met CGMT WBTC about the recent order issued by BSNL Corporate Office where it was shown that Excess JTO are in WB Circle, where as the fact is completely opposite. And recently with our strong persuasion CGM has written to Dir. HR about the acute shortage of JTO, SDE, AGM and DGM Cadres.

We conveyed our resentment to CGM towards the attitude of BSNL Corporate Office for not yet considering the proposal of revised manpower requirement in WBTC. Our JEs will not be able to become JTO even though there is still huge shortage in WBTC.

CGM is going to visit BSNL Corporate Office tomorrow. We have requested her to pursue the matter with CMD and Dir. HR to consider the proposal sent by herself as CGM WBTC and also to ensure vacancy creation for LICE examination so that eligible JEs in WBTC may get their legitimate right to sit in the Exam. CGM has assured the same.

SNEA WB team also met with Sr. GM(Finance)/WBTC on several EPF issues of our Executives in WBTC for which discussions were held in the past and our CS had also written a letter about a month ago.

Sr.GM Finance intimated that he is trying to resolve the EPF issues pointed out by SNEA by forming a team which will pursue the cases with EPF office and they will report to Sr. GM finance directly. He also assured his personal attention to resolve the issues at the earliest.

"Management using Police force to intimidate SNEA and to derail the Indefinite Hunger Fast at New Delhi.

First time in the history of BSNL, this insensitive Management used Police force against the employees to stop their agitation program.

Management becoming more and more insensitive towards the Executives and their genuine issues and grievances. Management making its intentions very clear again and again on the sensitive issues of BSNL Executives, the standard pay scales and promotions, by using Delhi Police to stop the agitations, temporarily.

Management held discussions with our President and AGS for more than one hour in which they were non-committal on our major demands of standard pay scales of E2 and E3 and Time Bound Promotions. The other issues even did not come up for discussion as there is no breakthrough on the major issues.

Once SNEA informed Management that, we cannot postpone the agitations without firm commitment in writing on all the demands and assuring Time Bound promotions, by evening Management used Police to forcibly take GS and AGS Pandurang Nayak who are on Indefinite Fast into custody and taken to hospital. AGS Com P P Rao and CS/BSNL CO Com D D Bansal were also taken in to custody and detained in Barakhamba Police station for some hours.

Immediately Police forcefully disbursed remaining Comrades on Hunger Fast and other comrades assembled there and dismantled the Hunger Fast Pandal under the supervision of the Officers from SR section.

On Time Bound promotions, we made very clear to management that first it is to be implemented as all the concerns of management is not having any valid ground as of now. We are ready for further discussions to make improvements and to address the concern of the management which may arise in future. On Pay scales we need concrete assurance to take up the matter with highest level in DoT.

However, we will continue our agitation programs at New Delhi in peaceful manner till management come forward to settle all our demands to the satisfaction our members.

There will not be any change in the schedule."

Today the management in connivance with Delhi police tried their best to sabotage our agitation. We stood like rock against the onslaught of these forces. Congratulations to all the rank and file of SNEA who came forward and supported the genuine cause of our cadre. Our OBs have shown the real guts and have never shown the back in spite of adverse circumstances. Finally all are back from the police stations and all are safe and hearty. Our fight continues.

Finally the EPP Upgradation order issued after prolong persuasion of SNEA WB. [Order] [Extended Order]

This meeting of the AUAB notes with satisfaction that, the 3 day dharna programme, organised by the AUAB at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, from 21st September, 2021, onwards, has become highly successful. Large number of employees and pensioners from Delhi, as well as from UP (West), Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and UP(East), have enthusiastically participated in this 3 day dharna programme. This meeting also notes with satisfaction that, this 3 day dharna programme has created a great amount of zeal and motivation among the BSNL employees and pensioners throughout the country. This meeting conveys it’s special thanks to all the employees and pensioners who have participated in the programme from Delhi, as well as from UP (West), Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and UP(East) and also puts on record, it’s appreciation to all the circle unions of the constituents of the AUAB, belonging to the aforementioned circles. Further, this meeting severely condemns the BSNL Management for issuing a very retrograde letter on 17.09.2021, to create a fear psychosis among the employees and to stop them from participating in this dharna. By issuing such letters, Management is only trying to snatch the democratic rights of the employees to protest, which we cannot be allowed. This meeting assures that, further struggles and movements will be organised in the days to come, demanding settlement of the issues contained in the charter of demands of the AUAB.

The 3^rdCircle Conference of West BengalCircle was held at Moulali Yuba Kendra, Kolkata on 11/09/2021 in a grand manner. Circle office bearers, SSA Secretaries and delegates from all the SSAs attended the Conference physically as well as online in virtual mode. Some of the part of the conference, mainly the open session was streamed online through youtube. It was a historical conference as veteran battle-hardened leadership of WBC smoothly handed over the responsibility to run the association to bunch of energetic, young SNEAIAN of new generation. The august assembly was buzzing with confidence, new dream and targeted orchestration to lead BSNL and SNEA,WB towards a new horizon.

Circle President, Com.P.K.Roy, raised the association’s flag amongst slogan chanting to kick-start the conference.Circle President, Com. P.K. Roy gave the introductory speech. Outgoing CS of Circle body, Com. Tapas Ghosh greeted all the comrades who braved the pandemic situation to attend conference physically. He explained all important issues and achievements of WB Circle HQ and presented the Circle Secretary Report. Then the Circle Treasurer presented the audited financial report of his term. Both the Circle Secretary and Circle Treasurer reports were unanimously passed by the house.

Lots of District representatives and observer delegates took part in online mode also. CGM, WBTC Shri. TamalMaitra and CGM CNTX(East) Sri K.C.Ghoshaddressed the open session. Both of them have highlighted that proper utilization of man power and resources are need of the hour. They called for team work and dedication of all employees in such crunch hour. Role of SNEA, WB towards development and in resolving vital issues were applauded by both officers.

The meeting was also attended by Com. SankarSanyal, President, and Com. Amit Sarkar, Secretary, SNEA, Calcutta Telephones as invited guests. Com. Amit Sarkar addressed the house in the open session.

Delegates and other participants shared their valuable views in the meeting. Impetus was given on revenue earning. It is discussed that there is an urgent need to streamline FTTH marketing and policy related matters in WBTC. In CFA segment, it is very important to have a comprehensive policy at circle level to get a check upon ONU price, condition regarding termination of agreementwith non performing or non-conforming TIP may be made more stringent ,regular TIP meet, media stability in tandem with ETR et.al are required. Moreover, Teevra, FMS platforms are very vulnerable and faults are reported every now and then. We must introspect the reasons behind it. The meeting opined, marketing of CFA segment is utterly neglected. Immediate steps are required to revamp it. In major revenue earning areas, departmental OLT may be installed. A comprehensive database may be prepared circle-wise wherein wecan have our own OLT and its capacity utilization data may be looked in to.

Com. K. Sebastin, GS,Com A.A. Khan, President andCom. DilipSaha, AGS also addressed the meeting via online mode. In their addresses, they mainly focused on BSNL Revival and major HR issues solicited at the BSNL Corporate Office.All employees should be more and more united under AUAB platform to protect our beloved company, speakers observed. The provisional norms of restructuring as proposed are unscientific and framed without conducting any work study in the field units. Management is not at all interested in regular promotions to AGM/CAO and DGM equivalent cadres on regular basis due to obvious reasons.CHQ leaders inspired our comrades for prolonged organizational battle against the management for our legitimate demands.

The Unity of the Executives is the need of the hour. Management is cleverly dividing us and utilizing few among us according to their convenience, to meet their agenda. We have to recognize it and raise above petty demands, just for the welfare of all the Executives, CHQ leaders appealed.

In this historic Conference, the leadership baton was handed over to the next generation of the association. The newly constituted body for SNEA, WB Circle is as follows:

Circle Vice-President-II – Com. Niladri Chakraborty, AGM (L/A), Berhampore OA

Organizing Secretary (North) - Com. SandipanBhattacharjee, SDE (KPG), Siliguri OA

All the present members as well as retired veterans who were present there congratulated the newly formed body.

As a goodwill gesture, in return the present body presented Memorabilia to the previous Circle Body members who have superannuated or taken VRS in this course as well as those veterans who parted from our organization long before but still feel this association as their integral part. Also small token were sent to all the working members of the Association via the District Bodies present in the conference.

At the conclusion, our previous CP Com. P.K. Roy who chaired the conference requested the CP CTD Com. SankarSanyal to give the Vote of Thanks for a change.

Then we enquired about the augmentation of 60G BW on Railtel OFC in KOL-CHN route. He has informed that 20G has already commissioned and the rest 40G will be done in very near futute. He also elaborated some of his plans to make the backbone more robust with more redundant routes. He informed that some of his plans of hiring new dark fibers are in advance stage of approval in the Corporate Office. He has given sufficient requisition for OTN and CPAN equipments to make the network reliable and cater to the need of the hour. Some of these routes include like Siliguri-Kalimpong route via Chalsa over WBSETCL OFC, Cuttack-Sambalpur Route which is very vital in KOL-CHN route, Arambagh-Champadanga route etc.

In this connection we enquired about the proposed DGP-KOL 20G route. The requisition from CGM, WBTC has already been submitted to him. Further he has asked for data traffice volume in that path which will be submitted to him by tomorrow. He has immediately asked the concerned to put up the matter.

Today we have met with the GM (HR & Admin, Tx), WBTC. Our association side has been represented by Sri P K Roy, CP, Sri S Ghosh, ACS and Sri P. Gangooly, ZS, COZ.

At the outset, we have expressed our great concern over the frequent outage of the KOL-CHN 80G Tx route. As he is also the GM(Tx) of WBTC, we requested his strong intervention at the earliest. We have demanded that the recently approved Railtel route has to be commissioned on priority basis. ETR and ETP officials have been contacted by his good office already in this regard and he also assured of his positive intent in this case.

We also requested him to pay his attention for the redundant Tx route in between........ as proposed by the respective BA.

In the said meeting we have requested his good office to forward the transfer case of Sri Bimalendu Bhowmik, TDM, JPG on spouse ground to Corporate Office as they are the only competent authority to consider the transfer in the AGM grade. GM (HR) has finally agreed to this argument and requested to ask the candidate to tender another reminder in this case, as his earlier prayer was disagreed by his office.

We have also discussed few other prayer transfer cases which are pending long since. We have requested him to consider the Rule 8 cases as well. He has given a patient hearing to all these issues and assured to do the needful. But we demanded his earliest intervention so as to resolve these HR issues, otherwise, we will be compelled to take a strong stand regarding these issues.

GM (HR) has expressed his serious concern over the irregularities in the office attendance in some of the SSAs which are inversely affecting our revenue. We have assured our solidarity and requested to take strong action towards the officers/officials concerned.

In continuation of the above issue, we have also propagated our concern about the serious issues arising due to the unplanned BA restructuring and its implementation in WBTC. Till date no proper order has been issued from Circle Office regarding BA posting of the officers and their duties as per the restructuring guidelines. This is creating serious pandemonium in the BA functioning. We have solicited his proper address to the issue ASAP.

Lastly, we have drawn his attention that our beloved CP is going to retire in the month June'21. As he is currently looking after the very important post of SDE (NOFN), so we have requested GM (HR & Admin) to post a suitable replacement at the same post early for the smooth transition of that charge. He has appreciated our concern. Also we have requested him to issue the SDE(L/A) issue at the Circle Office level for the time being as some of our officers are looking on some of the charges in the interest of the service only.

The meeting has concluded after almost an hour of detailed discussion. We thank GM (HR) for his patience to listen to all our issues minutely.

	First of all I like to congratulate all my beloved members of SNEA West Bengal. Without your dedication and solid rock mentality, we could not stay united and that has been reflected in the 2nd MV election result. As an Association we have achieved a good support from all over India also though some small factors resisted us to be no.1 in BSNL as a whole. Now it is our satisfaction that we are no.1 at least in West Bengal. So the members have bestowed us great responsibility for coming years. We have to work together to resolve all the issues at Zonal & Circle level for the sake of our members and BSNL WBTC also. As Circle President of SNEA WB I thank all the Zonal Secretaries, Zonal Presidents, Zonal Office bearers of different Zone as a whole from Circle Body. I want to thank specially my Zonal secretary Promit Ganguly, Zonal President Saibal Chakraborty, Zonal Treasurer Tapas Pal for extending good support and enormous effort with our new Captain Somenath Ghosh who has done a splendid job in this 2nd MV on behalf of Circle Body. I also congratulate our Circle Secretary Tapas Ghosh, General Secreatry K Sebastin, CHQ President A A Khan, AGS Dilip Saha and other CHQ office bearers for timely motivating all our members in Video meeting also. Last of all I must have to thank all the active retirees of SNEA WB without whom we could not achieve success in West Bengal. Thank you all. P K Ray President SNEA,WBC
