PGM Restructuring BSNL CO has issued letter for restructuring of Uttarakhand Circle as pilot Circle. Copy<<<>>
This letter seems to be deliberately issued during the membership window so that unrest is created among the Executives and under frustration of such activities by BSNL management, some of them quit the membership of Associations and to increase the total number of non-members of any association.
Management is in extreme hurry that the proposal is posted on holiday and unfortunately the same management does not get time for deciding posting of JTOs in Electrical wing for their SDE Promotions for which DPC has been conducted and process is completed before one month and every time it is being assured to issue the Promotion order at the earliest, but not issues for last one month.
The intention of this proposal is to project in front of DoT and Govt of India that the employees are not working and hence they need to be punished by posting at remote places and Management gets a good name in the eyes of the DoT, Honourable MoC & MoSC such an absurd proposal is submitted and approved.
It is unfortunate that none of the officers in the Management dealing with this Restructuring proposal is understanding the practical requirement of BSNL and if understanding nobody has the guts to speak the truth and hence such attempts of beating bushes is done by projecting such utter useless proposals.
It is an unfortunate situation in BSNL that nobody wants to speak reality and practical requirements as if somebody speaks it, then he/she is either transferred to odd places or harassed by different actions. Due to this approach, about all senior officers have taken a stand to shut the mouth and in case if mouth is to be opened then it is opened only join whatever is said by the higher officer in Chain.
This is the reason, this absurd situation is witnessed in BSNL wherein proposals without understanding practical requirements and needs of BSNL & its executives. Only proposals given by BCG or generated from AI are being projected as restructuring proposals for revival of BSNL and hence these are lacking practical use and needs of BSNL.
One side BSNL management is taking Credit that the revenue of BSNL has touched the figure of 25000 Crores with base of just 50000 employees and on the other side it is projected that employees are not working hence such extreme drastic steps are required for revival of BSNL.
Otherwise how such a proposal can be designed by the Committee headed by CGM BSNL with Five PGM Level members, two working in field units and three from Corporate Office and it is understood that this Committee was constituted secretly.
In BSNL justification of posts is done on basis of Number of working LL/FTTH lines, Length of OFC Network, Transmission Network, Mobile Network and Enterprise Business, but here in a funny approach, the Committee has now justified the posts on basis of number of Gram Panchayat and Blocks, which has lost relevance due digital era and when geographical boundaries are vanished making world as one platform.
Unfortunately, it seems that the Committee, BSNL management and officers in DoT are either not aware of this digital world and are taking BSNL and its executives back to the world of ancient days where Gram Panchayat played an important role in local markets.
It is unfortunate that BSNL is given huge business at Biggest Metro Cities i.e. Delhi, the Capital of India and Mumbai, the Economical Capital of India and here BSNL Management is not thinking of utilisation of even a single officer/employee of BSNL and even more than 3000 Executives/Employees of MTNL are forced to sit ideally without giving proper work and nothing is done in the last two years to improve Telecom services of BSNL either in Mumbai or Delhi and it is proposed to outsource all services from procurement to maintenance to the Vendors and BSNL officers and employees are forced to join at Rural areas that to be at Gram Panchayat level.
Forget about these two big Metro cities, the other Metro cities, district places will now be disturbed and now all the executives will be posted at Gram Panchayat Level and Block level.
The said committee and BSNL management is so blind that they are unable to differentiate the needs and requirements among the different Blocks and Different Gram Panchayats with geographical boundaries, areas covered, local conditions, hilly terrains and any other factor as per needs and requirements of BSNL.
Its seems this team is worried only about number of Gram Panchayats and Blocks and has planned such absurd proposal focusing on Gram Panchayats and Block forgetting needs of big /metro cities and opportunities of Business and revenue for BSNL, otherwise such useless, absurd proposal destroying BSNL and its executives further.
In recent past, the prominent Circles like Kerala, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat Circle also have issued restructuring norms at their level and they have reshuffled staff as per these restructuring proposals. In contradiction to these orders by major Circles, the proposal by Restructuring Cell is based on number of Gram Panchayats and Blocks, this is how BSNL is being driven wrongly.
There are many orders stating that JTOs will not report to SDEs and this has been accepted by all in BSNL for last decade but now with u turn to this decision each and every JTO will have to report SDEs as if the Committee and BSNL management is not aware of this decision.
It is important that the Management has falsely made the instructions of PMO vide letter Dated 29/01/2026 under point 10 as base for this justifying proposal and it is projected that Respected Prime Minister of India desires that JTOs and SDEs needs to be posted respectively at Gram Panchayat and Block levels. But if we go through the instructions of PMO in this letter, under point 10, it is directed to take immediate steps to repatriate all the officers on deputation to BSNL. Copy<<<>>
In the second part of this point 10 it is mentioned that assessment of all personnel may be carried out with regards to their suitability for the organisation and efforts may be made to reduce the staff.
Thus it is crystal clear that the instructions from the PMO office are different and BSNL management is projecting it differently and making all out efforts to destroy the present working of BSNL and disturbing each and every executive of BSNL by mass transfers to Rural and Remote Areas that to be Gram Panchayat level where there is no scope for growth of BSNL.
This and other such decisions like SET recruitment from open Market neglecting internal talent available in BSNL, Appointment of Contract basis GMs in Finance and Telecom wing are against guidelines of PSUs and hence cannot be implemented in PSU as there seems dilemma about which rules are to be applied to BSNL either rules of PSU or rules of Govt and DoT/BSNL are selectively applying rules of PSU and Govt as per their needs and not as per the needs of BSNL.
In last two years, earlier different committees have been constituted which were having CGMs as members, but these committees have submitted any report and this secret committee has given report within no time and BSNL management and DoT also has acted on this without in lightening speed as if they are in hurry to destroy BSNL and its executives on name of Restructuring
SNEA condemns this absurd decision of BSNL management for Transferring JTOs en masse at Gram Panchayat Level and transferring SDEs en masse at Block level and also condemn decision to scrap well settled and highly accepted OA/BA basic structure in BSNL working with attempt of further reducing the sanctioned posts which are already reduced drastically after Mass VRS by neglecting needs of BSNL.
SNEA will oppose this proposal it till it is withdrawn in the interest of BSNL and Its executives.
