SUB: Tamil Nadu Circle –Rotational transfers in TES Group–B / STS

Group –A cadres - Reg

In continuation of our earlier discussion on 7-04-04, the following few points are brought to your kind attention, with respect to the above Transfer policy of Tamil Nadu Circle. All our District Secretaries have expressed their anxiety and strong reaction over this rotational transfer policy of the Circle. During our meeting on 7-04-04 itself we informed to your good self and also to GM(A). Out reservations and unwillingness to agree to rotational transfer policy of Tamil Nadu Circle.

More over this transfer policy, not rotational, is from DOT and not from BSNL Head quarter. Already we clarified this issue with our General Secretary New Delhi.

This transfer policy of DOT need not be imposed on us. Now it is very early stage and the absorption process and related pay fixation etc are taking place very smoothly. At this early stage when the officers are being in the process of adapting to BSNL policies, BSNL work culture, Corporate service etc., by implementing DOT transfer policy our members will be demoralized.

The STS officers are all adhoc, Purely temporary and Officiating status only. Your good self will understand their anxiety in disturbing

them citing their mere stay of 8 years and not considering their temporary status definitely they would not have remained in the same station if they had been accorded their permanent status in STS, which the letter speaks about.

Similarly for group B officers 24 years stay in the same SSA has been taken into account, including the service in the lower cadres, which also not agreeable to us. Since this couples the service in group C cadre also. If that is the case, definitely for group D and group C cadres also definite period of stay must be incorporated.

In BSNL all HRD issues are dealt with respect to Executives and non-Executives only and not by cadre hierarchy such as A.B.C.D etc., which is DOT policy. In view of all the above points, it is earnestly requested not to implement the rotational transfer till a suitable policy is framed by BSNL- Head Quarters please.

Assuring our cooperation always.

Yours faithfully

( L.JAYAPAL , Circle Secretary )
