In continuation to the notice issued for Nationwide Lunch Hour Demonstration issued by All Unions and Associations, different meetings have been conducted at Circle/District Levels for preparations and there is huge response from the Executives and employees of BSNL all over India against adamant actions and dictatorship of Shri. Parthiban CGMT CHTD/TN Circle.
We cannot allow Shri Parthiban CGMT CHTD/TN to continue with this attitude and spoil industrial peace in BSNL.
Shri Parthiban CGM has become so vindictive that he dares to issue extreme punishment to 13 Office Bearers of reduction of Two Increments for Two years just for entry in his office.
All these office Bearers along with others have requested CGM meeting for four months, and that particular day also they have patiently waited for four hours outside his chamber and he has denied meeting and not given any alternative date & time and hence all entered his chamber and requested for time for meeting and want to know why he is denying meetings to all Unions and Associations.
There it was nothing to dispute and issue punishment for reduction of two increments for two years and for 13 Office Bearers, when CMD BSNL had given clear instructions to both Shri Parthiban CGM and all Unions and Associations of CHTD and Chennai Circles during his visit to Chennai in July 2025.
Shri. Parthiban, CGM who is one of the parties in this dispute has become judge and issued punishment through GMs while GMs are not empowered to issue chargesheet/ punishment for association/unions activities but under pressure of Shri Parthibhan CGM, these GMs have issued and now punishment.
Also by denying meeting continuously and neglecting recognised association for months together, he has violated REA Rules and he is party, rather one of the accused and initiator in this entire episode and how one accused /culprit can become judge and issue punishment to other party is real question to be addressed by BSNL Management.
Now after issuing punishment orders in CHTD Circle, Shri Parthiban, CGM has called for an explanation from Office Bearers in TN Circle and he will repeat the same scene of punishment in TN Circle also and we cannot allow him to continue to dictatorship.
Now only on administrative part, but on overall growth of both these developing Circles, Shri Parthiban has failed totally and we have already submitted details to Management and management has principally agreed to our concern and submission but not taken action for stopping Shri Parthiban either for growth of BSNL and nor for maintaining industrial peace in these developing Circles.
Against all such acts of Shri Parthiban CGM, we are pleading with BSNL Management for last four months and we are assured for the taking action but no action has been taken for last four months and it is feeling among all leaders and executives in TN and CHTD Circle and we also feel that Shri Parthiban is given free hand by Management to Harras and trouble all executives till his retirement in March 2026.
Shri Parthiban, CGM is openly telling that he will not change his attitude at any cost and he didn’t bother about instructions of Director HR and CMD BSNL and is openly challenging authorities and provoking leaders of Unions and Associations to protest and create unrest when everything is very positive in BSNL and the same is appreciated by Most Respected Prime Minister of India.
Till now, PGM Pers/SR, Director HR Sir and CMD BSNL are very co-operative & considerate and have always assured, but as Shri Parthiban CGM do not bother about instructions even from CMD BSNL and hence we are compelled to go ahead with this agitation call.
Meantime, Management has taken different initiatives by having telephonic talk with General Secretaries, by an appeal issued by DGM SR BSNL CO to individually to GS of Unions and Associations limiting it to recognised serving Unions/Associations but except last line of to withdraw agitational call, all others paras are threatening which defeat very purpose of these appeals. APPEAL I <<<>> APPEAL II <<<>>
After this appeal, the issues were discussed by PGM Pers/SR and Director HR for keeping on hold this call for two days and then a meeting will be called for discussions on this issue and we have conveyed that Management also should keep on hold or direct CGM CHTD to keep on hold the Punishment order till issues are discussed and decided.
But after understanding depth of the issue, one meeting is called at 1015 hrs today at 06/10/2025 in chamber of Director HR and we are hopeful that some concrete action will be taken by Management to keep away Shri Parthiban from the post of CGM TN & CHTD and also to withdraw or keep on hold the punishment orders. Copy<<<>>
We will update about any outcome out of this meeting by Director HR BSNL with concrete action in this issue, but as of now, there is no change in the agitational call and we will go ahead with this call of Nationwide Lunch Hour Demonstrations and we appeal all to participate in the lunch hour demonstrations and make it grand success.
