Meeting with Sr.General Manager (Pers):
GS and AGS (HQ) met Sr.GM (Pers) today and discussed the following issues:1.Revision in posting orders of the seniors executives and Lady executives of Chennai and Tamilnadu circles:
We once again requested Sr.GM (Pers) to fill up atleast 50 % of available posts so that senior and lady executives can be accommodated in their parent circles. Sr.GM (Pers) said modified orders will be issued only in October and cautioned us that we should not expect large number of modifications. He said that consideration will be based on merits of each case.2.Revision in transfer orders of SDEs who got their promotion through LDCE and posted in NE circles:
We requested Sr.GM (Pers) to consider the representations of those executives who were promoted from JTO to SDE through LDCE and posted in NE_I, Assam and NE-II circles and got retention upto 31.3.14 and now have requested permanent retention in their respective circles. We requested that they can be given further retention atleast upto 31st March 2015. Sr.GM (Pers) was not in favour of giving further extension.3. Holding of DPC for promotion from JTO (T) to SDE (T):
We once again reiterated that in the absence of any sign of an early end to the court case, the only way out is to consider filing an IA, as was done in the "147 case" in Supreme Court, where the Supreme Court has directed that "promotions cannot be withheld for any long time awaiting the result of the court case." Sr.GM (Pers) agreed to get our suggestion examined early to bring an end to the stalemate.26.09.2014:

India creates history, reaches Mars orbit on maiden attempt:
India created history today, becoming the first country in the world to succeed on its first Mars mission when Isro's Mangalyaan slipped into Martian orbit after a few nail-biting moments. The country joined the United States, European Space Agency and the former Soviet Union in the elite club of Martian explorers with the Mars Orbiter Mission, affectionately called MOM. Mangalyaan, which relies on homegrown technology, is a remarkably low budget mission of about $75 million. NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission, or Maven, which reached its position around the Red Planet on Sunday has a price tag of $671 million - nearly nine times that of MOM's. India's feat gains significane in the light of the fact that more than half the world's previous attempts - 23 out of 41 Mars missions - have failed, including attempts by Japan in 1999 and China in 2011.Let us congratulate the entire Team ISRO for its unparalleled achievement.

Meeting with Sr. General Manager (Pers):
GS met Sr.GM (Pers) yesterday and discussed the following issues. Addl. GM (Pers) was also present.1.Revision in posting orders of the seniors executives and Lady executives of Chennai and Tamilnadu circles:
Sr.GM (Pers) told us that any decision in this regard will be taken by the Management next week. Simultaneously he also informed us that only a few cases may be considered. It will not be possible to accommodate large number of executives in these circles because number of executives who got promotion in these two Circles is very high compared to other circles and already 70 -75 % posts in these circles have been filled up. However we once again requested him to fill up atleast 50 % of available posts and take an early decision so that the uncertainty among senior and lady executives comes to an end.2.Revision in transfer orders of SDEs who got their promotion through LDCE and posted in NE circles:
We requested Sr.GM (Pers) to consider the representations of those executives who were promoted from JTO to SDE through LDCE and posted in NE_I, Assam and NE-II circles and got retention upto 31.3.14 and now have requested permanent retention in their respective circles. We explained that after STS promotion some SDE posts have been vacated in these circles and shortage in NE-I, NE-II and Assam Telecom Circles have now reduced. Hence, we have requested that these executives may be accommodated in their parent circles.3. Fresh DPC from SDE to DE, for promoting all the remaining qualified SDEs of Seniority List 5:
We once again requested to Sr.GM (Pers) to consider our proposal for giving promotion to DE/AGM grade for the remaining 90 SDEs in seniority list 5. We have suggested that promotion may be given against the posts kept reserved for untraceable SDEs and against the posts which are still laying vacant because some of the executives were found not fit for promotion in the last DPC.4.Promotion and posting of left out Executives as DE on regular basis:
We requested Sr.GM (Pers) for early issue of promotion orders to left out executives, for which approval has already been obtained from the CMD. Sr.GM (Pers) informed us that place of posting of these executives has been decided and promotion and posting orders for 112 executives will be issued on Monday.19.09.2014:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi rolls back BSNL, MTNL merger:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided not to merge state-owned telecom firms MTNL and BSNL, a move that could well be termed as the first by the present NDA government to overturn a major decision of the previous UPA government. Sources in the government said that instead of infusing fresh capital or merging them to revive the cash-strapped and loss-making BSNL and MTNL, the PM has asked the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to consider a proposal for the outright purchase of the optic fibre cable (OFC) network of the former, which is the largest in the country. “Once owned by the DoT, the OFC network could be used for early rollout of the government’s ambitious ‘Digital India’ programme,” they added.(Deccan Chronicle)15.09.2014:

'Dal lake, one of the world's largest natural lakes, covered an area of 75 sq km in 1200 AD. The lake area almost reduced to one-third in the eighties and has further reduced to one-sixth of its original size in the recent past. The lake has also lost almost 12 m of depth.

He wanted us to request our members to go and join. He said that even if one change is made, it will have the consequence of more requests flooding Corporate Office. We insisted that we did not want individual consideration, but only wanted a policy decision to fill up atleast 50% of the still available vacancies in these circles, accommodating the executives purely on seniority basis and with due consideration for lady executives.

Telecom department rejects BSNL's plea for more compensation for services in Naxal areas:
'State-run BSNL had sought additional compensation equivalent to 16.5 per cent of the project cost to encourage its staff to work in hostile regions prone to left wing extremism.

The Cabinet, on DoT's recommendation, had last month approved the transfer of future mobile network assets created in India's Naxal-prone zones to BSNL for ensuring uninterrupted mobile coverage even after the government stopped supporting the project after 2019.'
