Maharashtra starts Association Meetings on Digital platform: Due to COVID 19, there is lockdown
implemented all over India and hence it is not possible to conduct due CEC
meeting on Association platform by physical attendance by all leaders as well
as similar meeting on official platform.
·
About all works of office and different trainings
are being completed/conducted through online meetings through zoom or through
CISCO platform. The CWC Meeting by SNEA CHQ was scheduled on 22/23 April 20 was
postponed due to lockdown and SNEA MH also could not conduct its CEC meeting
before this proposed CWC Meeting.
·
However, the young and energetic comrades of SNEA
MH came forward with the proposal to conduct online meeting on zoom platform to
discuss different issued being faced by the executives working in different
corners of Maharashtra Circle.
·
As per the constitution amendment in AIC
Ludhiana, the online meetings are now officially permitted and SNEA MH stands
first among all Unions and Association and among SNEA allover India to use this
online platform for Association meetings and its entire credit goes to young
and energetic comrades of SNEA Maharashtra who initiated and moved this idea
successfully.
·
For testing the idea of online meeting, the first meeting of COBs and CWC Members of
SNEA MH was conducted on 04/04/2020 on zoom platform and we have about two
hours discussions on current issues and problems faced by our comrades. The
issues reported by different COBs and CWC Members were taken up with CGMT MH
for its solution and CGMT MH was kind enough to resolve the issues in favour of
executives working in filed units.
·
After grand success of first online COB and CWC
Members meeting on 04/04/2020, we have decided to move ahead with such online
meeting with all 34 District Secretaries of SNEA Maharashtra. Some of issues
were reported during zoom meeting and also there were some news about misuse of
data by zoom, SNEAMH decided to conduct meeting with CISCO platform.
·
Accordingly, online meeting of all District
Secretaries, Circle Office Bearers, and Central Working Committee members was
successfully held for five hours on 22/04/2020. This meeting was attended
by about all District Secretaries, COBs, and CWC Members and was presided over
by Com. Bharat Sonawane, CP SNEA MH.

The meeting started at 1730 hrs concluded at 2230
hrs late evening after sharing views by all District Secretaries, COBs, and CWC
Members. Some of District Secretaries could not attend this meeting due to
personal reasons and few for technical issues in joining meeting. This was
nonstop meeting for Five hours and it was wonderful experience for SNEA leaders
to have face to face interaction and sharing of views with each other during
total lockdown period being strictly implemented throughout Maharashtra Circle.
Though it was totally, new experience on platform of association all our
comrades took active part in it and continued discussions continuously for five
hours and again proved that SNEA MH has its own high standards and ways to come
out of any situation and SNEA can find solution for every problem.
·
This new idea of Discussions through VC has been
highly accepted by all and it has given way to majority of our issues during
total lockdown period due to pandemic COVID 19.
·
SNEA MH has got new idea
of instant meeting and discussions with no
expenditure and we will continue
to explorer this idea and in days to come we will continue to get use this
online VC tool more effectively
·
We are extremely sorry this time we could not add
CEC Members in this online meeting, but next time we will also add CEC Members
in all such Circle level online meetings.

gratitude to all the DSs, COBs and CWC Members who attended this meeting and

Infra sales BSNL CO writes all Circle Heads now filling of diesel in BSNL BTS from Reliance Jio Petro
cards at par with rent of landlord and electricity being paid by Reliance Jio
for BSNL sites with Reliance Jio. Letter <<<>>>
·
Though it seems to be good that BSNL site will be
on, practically it is not solution in favour of BSNL, but it is indirect
support to Reliance services.
·
With such arrangements the BTS site shared with
Reliance Jio will be on customers of R Jio as well as BSNL may get services
from this BTS site.
·
However, the BSNL sites fully owned by BSNL in
vicinity of such sites will be down and customers depending only on BSNL or
purely BSNL customers will not get services and image will be created that BSNL
is not maintaining its services properly.
·
Already there is much comparison going on between
BSNL and R Jio and such decisions on part of BSNL are directly affecting image
of BSNL.
·
IN Maharashtra Circle, BTS Mtce is being done
through vendors and one site BSNL will continue to pay vendors for Mtce charges
even though some BTSs are down due to Electricity/Rent/Diesel payments and at
the same time, R Jio will continue to provide its services without any hurdle.
·
Instead of such temporary solutions, BSNL has to
think on permanent solutions by releasing vendor payments, which will be real
action in keeping all BTS of BSNL regardless of its sharing with any other
operator including R Jio.

Mumbai endorsed BSNL CO letter with revised instructions for Operation & Maintenance and functioning of the
Administrative Offices during extended lockdown period from 20/04/2020 to
03/05/2020. Letter
<<<>>>
·
In this endorsement order, one more clarification
is added that Executives below E5 level, who are assigned the duties /responsibilities
of E5 and above, shall also attend the office on all working days.
·
The situation in many of the Districts in
Maharashtra State and particularly in Pune and Mumbai is not good to start
working by attending offices by all officers even that of E5 and above level.
·
There is no public Transportation available and
if anyone who is leaving home with own vehicles without passes for Emergency
services is also being issued notice by Police department for violation of
lockdown conditions.
·
In fact, it is seen that the Police and state
Government has decided to enforce the lockdown more stringently and in Pune
area orders have been issued for total lockdown of all establishments except
medical shops and it is difficult to attend offices in all such areas declared
as Red Zone in Maharashtra Circle.
·
This is not normal situation and we must
understand its seriousness. The life of every one leaving home at Pune and
Mumbai and some other Districts is at risk and hence all will have to take
care and support Government by seating at home until there are no emergency
duties.
·
Hence, all the officers and Staff in Red Zone
Area will have to take care by all possible means and avoid leaving home
except it is emergency condition of maintaining Telecom services.
·
In case of emergency, if anyone leaves home then
he/she should take total precautions of safety for self and the staff
under his control.
·
But, at same time, no one should not avoid
Emergency duties for maintenance of emergency Telecom Services under any
unwanted fear factor.
·
The Officials and Officers in the Districts where
there is relaxation in restriction of movements may attend the offices by
following these revised guidelines issued for extended lockdown period up to
03/05/2020.
·
SNEA MH appeals all comrades to take at most care
of self and the staff and contract workers working under their control by
arranging all safety equipment, requirements for sanitization and
cleanliness in best possible manner
along with passed issued by concerned
Government Authorities to run Emergency services.

Mumbai endorsed BSNL Corporate Office letter calling Month wise data of
Contract Workers working in BSNL who taking care of House Keeping, Security
Guards, Repair/Maintenance and other works and this data is to be submitted
urgently. Letter <<<>>> BSNL CO Letter <<<>>>
·
It is fact that the
contract Workers are most neglected in BSNL as compared to other parties even
though they are actual worriers working in the field units and now responsible
working hands for all the Field officers.
·
It is unfortunate that
many of these workers have served BSNL for decades, but their devotion and
dedication is not yet recognized by BSNL and even their wages are not disbursed
in time and they continue to exploit.
·
Earlier also the
Contractors use to exploit these worker to some extent, but since BSNL has not cleared payments of the
Vendors against these contract workers for months together, these workers are
facing hardship even in meeting their day to day requirements and needs.
·
It is fact that many
of these Contract workers are working at Site even by overcoming the extreme
Fear of COVID 19 pandemic.
·
Earlier contractors
used to raise the bills regularly by paying EPF/GST, but even the amount paid
against EPF/GST is also not released and some of them have received notice from
concerned departments. Many contractors have not raised further bills even of
these Contract Workers as they have short of money even to pay EPF or GST as
actual and are waiting for clearance of at least some bills by BSNL.
·
BSNL is not clearing
bills submitted and contractors are not submitting bills and as result of this
held up cycle, in some of SSAs, these workers are not paid their wages for
period of more than one year.
·
Though some of
contractors are talking care of these contract workers to certain extent, many
have raised hands and abandoned them from their responsibilities by pointing
out fingers at BSNL.
·
After VRS, BSNL has
made sincere efforts to clear all dues and kin recent past bills of many
vendors are cleared but till attention was not given to, the payments of these
contract workers.
·
It is known fact that
after VRS, there is mass reduction in workforce of BSNL and it was possible to
fill the vacuum created to some extent with help of contract workers.
·
After persuasion by
SNEA MH and by understanding the need, CGMT Maharashtra Circle has allotted
certain fixed Number of EOIs/Contract workers to all SSAs. But many contractors
have not supplied workers for want of funds and practically in many of SSAs;
the availability of contract workers is as good as NIL. The concerned officers
are managing some amount either from Pocket or from temporary Advances for
clearing payments of few extreme urgent contract workers.
·
But it is fact that Temporary Advances are
also not given as per requirement of field units and who is able to put his
grievances to highest authorities of Maharashtra Circle, in such cases only
Temporary Advances have been granted and are waiting for their turn which is
not yet came.
·
Thus, fact is that these contract workers are
not paid regularly even though their payments are just in few thousands.
·
Many of the District
Secretaries and COBs of SNEA MH has raised this issue as they are
practically in touch with contract
workers and are aware about their hardship and difficulties and also understand
the importance of this manpower in BSNL
after mass VRS 2019.
·
Recently, SNEA MH has
held e-Meeting of COBs and CWC Members of SNEA MH through zoom and in that
meeting about all COBs and CWC members have expressed concerned about it and
matter was brought to notice of SNEA CHQ leaders.
·
Now, as per above
letter, BSNL Corporate Office has called Month wise data of the number of
workers engaged and outstanding payments for up to March 2020.
·
SNEA MH appeals all
the DS and concerned officers in different SSAs to send this information
without any delay so that funds are allotted By BSNL CO to release the payments
to vendors.
·
The vendors who have
not submitted the bills may raise the bills by paying EPF amount as chances of
release of all outstanding bills has increased to better extent and no vendor
should miss opportunity of clearance of bills and payment of dues of these
contract Workers.
·
It will be golden day
for BSNL and all its workforce when the withheld wages of these contract
workers will be paid by BSNL and in turn the contractors pays the wages to
these contract workers.
·
This action of BSNL
Corporate office has become ray of hope for all the contract workers. Let us
hope that the outstanding wages of all Contract Workers will be released very
shortly.

Mumbai issued orders for DGM LA arrangements in Finance wing wherein four AOs
working as DGM LA are further given responsibility of DGM LA to fill up vacant
post of DGMs in Maharashtra Circle. Letter <<<>>>
·
Actually, all these are Regular AOs and were
working as CAO LA, but to fill up vacant post of DGMs and met acute shortage of
DGMs, these AOs are given double looking After Arrangement i.e. as CAO in
earlier order and now as DGM LA in this order.
·
It is being propagated by many of the officers
that VRS 2019 has not affected the working of BSNL but the fact is that it has
directly affected working of BSNL and this is classic example of it.
·
After VRS, in Maharashtra Circle, no regular DGM
is left in Account wing and only one CAO Regular is left throughout Maharashtra
Circle after VRS 2019 and that CAO is working as only DGM LA in entire
Maharashtra Circle.
·
Thus, many of AOs even after far junior are given
responsibility of CAO to meet shortage of CAOs level IFAs in different SSAs on
where it is as it is basis.
·
Some of SDEs are also given looking after DE and
DGM responsibilities in some of SSAs.
·
It was being informed by Staff section that some
guidelines on staffing norms are being issued for filling vacant post, but same
are not yet issued and hence the emergent shortages are being fulfilled in such
double looking after arrangements.
·
In similar way it is required that all JTOs/JAOs
can be given SDE responsibilities either under SDE Regular Promotions or LA
Arrangements so that the BSNL works can be taken care by same officers with
higher responsibilities and dual working among JTOs and SDE will be reduced.
Rather it is need of time that BSNL takes initiatives for one time up gradation
in all cadres to fill up vacancies created due to VRS 2019.
