Subject: Regularisation of
Officiating JTOs in BSNL by Personal Upgradation – Reg
****
Respected
Madam,
This
is regarding regularization of the services of JTOs who are working in the
various circles in BSNL on officiating basis.
The brief facts of the case are as follows please.
2. The DOT conducted a
screening test for the TTAs working in various circles in the year 2000 against
the then available vacancies and the results of the said examination was
declared. Some of the officials who succeeded in the examination were sent for
training and given appointment as JTOs against the then available vacancies.
After this a waiting list was maintained for the rest of the officials.
3. Thereafter a decision was
taken to divert 500 posts per year from out of the Direct Recruitment quota
during August 2001 and for about 6 years the process was continued.
4. Basing on a court case in
the Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court, diversion of vacancies was
stopped.
5. Since then the left out
officials could not be absorbed in the JTO cadre even though they have
completed all training formalities and are working on officiating basis in the
circles and many of them have retired on superannuation during this period.
6. After the screening test
held in 2000, no chance was given to the TTAs working in BSNL to appear in the
JTO exam under 35% quota.
-: 2 :-
This union has proposed in
the past for a onetime upgradation of the posts of TTAs i.e. their substantive
posts so that the issue gets resolved once for all. Madam, the post of JTO in BSNL is a very
pivotal one and the entire field staff, depend on the JTO to attend to various
works in the field. These officiating JTOs have been discharging their duties
as effectively as anyone else can and it would be just and fair on the part of
the BSNL management to regularize their services. This does not entail any financial burden on
the company also as most of them are sufficiently senior. Further Personal upgradation will
not come in the way of the present court case also as they are not going to
occupy the posts of any other officials or quota.
We therefore request your
honor to kindly see that the issue is resolved immediately. Now that the BSNL
management is making arrangements to conduct the JTO Limited Internal
competitive examination in the month of June 2013, it is very much essential
that this issue is resolved well before the said examination is conducted.
With profound
regards,
Yours faithfully,
General Secretary
