Chandigarh, March 18
The Sanchar Nigam Executives’ Association (SNEA), an employees’ union of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), has sought withdrawal of 225 additional principal general managers (PGMs) and general managers (GMs) posted on deputation from the Department of Telecommunication (DoT).
In a letter to the Chairman & Managing Director, PK Purwar, the association claimed that operator was incurring huge losses amounting to Rs80 crore-Rs100 crore annually as salary and expenses towards these excess officers on deputation from the DoT.
“Excess PGM/GMs at BSNL and circles, numbering about 225, may be sent back to the DoT without further delay and save huge expenditure of Rs80 to Rs100 crore. If corrective steps are not taken immediately, BSNL also will go in the MTNL way,” states the letter sent by K Sebastin, General Secretary, SNEA. — TNS
