Our

CTD/AIBSNLEA Com. Amit Gupta met the CMD/BSNL Sri Kuldip Goyal under the
banner of United Front on 07/11/2008 at 18.00 hrs. at Telephone Bhavan to
discuss the issue of ITS absorption. CMD was present in Kolkata on that day due
to launching of CDMA Internet Data cards.
It is speculated from the meeting that a fresh proposal to absorb the ITS officers from a prospective date of 1-10-2007 is again being considered to end the absorption stalemate. The UF leaders pointed out that : i) Such concession to ITS officers would virtually allow them to enjoy the benefit of both 6th CPC and 2nd pay committee for executives. This will bound to open a Pandora box and serious unrest may occur in BSNL. ii) Moreover, if such proposals are again moved at this stage, it may consume anther 8 to 10 months in deciding this policy, asking for option again etc. Such time delay will be fatal for the company. The present inaction on the part of ITS officers cannot be allowed to be continued for long period. Finally UF leaders requested CMD to end the crisis soon and assured their fullest support to face any challenge. Lunch Hour Demonstration called by United Forum on the issues of early settlement (i.e. within 22/12/2008) of ITS absorption as well as repatriation of absorbed Executives of BSNL/MTNL to DOT was observed at Telephone Bhawan, Kolkata and Circle Office, Kolkata & at the office of SSA Heads in WBTC.

A
meeting was held with Shri Gopal Bose, GM/Broadband/CTD on 08-07-08 at his
chamber regarding Broadband Service in CTD. Office bearers from both the
Executive Associations SNEA(I) & AIBSNLEA attended the said meeting and took
part in discussion on developments of Broadband Service in CTD. Majojr &
minor problems prevailing in Broadband in CTD were highlighted & some
suggestions for solution of the problems were also mentioned in the meeting from
associations' side. The problems relating to Broadband are as follows:-
(i) 'data.bsnl.in' portal is not properly working for last 9-10 months for which creation of User ID & Password for the new Broadband customers are being delayed. The number of existing BB customers in CTD is more than 1.4 lac and more than 400 BB applications are being received per day in different CSCs of CTD, but it is not possible to create User ID & Password more than 400 per day through 'data.bsnl.in' portal by Central BB Unit at Telephone Bhawan. We requested the management to pursue this issue with NOC, Bangalore so that performance of the portal remains good for 24 hours. On behalf of our association this issue is intimated to CHQ for persuasion. In the last CWC meet held at Chandighar we have demanded for decentralization of NOC at regional basis because the BB customers are increasing day by day and the total BB customers of BSNL throughout India is about 25 lac. (ii) BB Customer care performance is very poor. As the customer interaction in area is maximum, area Broadband team has to take care of it. Proper training/working procedure about BB to the officers/Staffs and positive attitude to the customers should be adopted. Specialized exclusive Divisionwise & Areawise Broadband team should be formed immediately. (iii) For Multi Play (MP) type, creation of portal ID is done by Central BB after getting input from Area. User ID and Password is created at least after 15 days from the date of creation of portal ID. It is seen that billing is done w.e.f. the date of portal ID, but it should be done w.e.f. the date of creation of User ID & Password. (iv) In MP system, Resetting of password (Error-691) by central BB and change of password by the customers can not done due to non-availability of 'data.bsnl.in'. It is suggested that error 691 is to be solved entirely by the Area BB. (v) Auto port binding problem in MP system should be resolved immediately. (vi) 678 error is entirely solved by the Area BB and most of the 678 error cases remain unattended. We requested the management to take proper action so that better service can be extended to the BB customers. (vii) Most of the Nokia Siemens modems (C2110) are found faulty. It was suggested that modem should be checked as well as configuration should be done before delivery to the customer's premises. (vii) Faulty modem should be replaced immediately by the External Wing. (viii) " email ID" creation should be done for the BB customers, created in the month of March & April, 2008. From our association we assured GM/BB for extending every sorts of cooperation to improve the BB service in CTD. All the Z/Secretaries in CTD & WBTC are sincerely requested to highlight the BB problems to SHQ. The growth of BB in WBTC is not satisfactory. So Z/Secretaries in WBTC have to take proper action with competent authority at SSA level for providing more BB connections. |

State
Secy., State President, Org. Secy.(South), Asstt. Secy.(Circle) met CGM/WBTC to
discuss the present situation prevailing in West Bengal Telecom Circle. It is
informed to CGM that all developmental works are going in a very slow pace in
most of the SSAs. We requested CGM to take positive actions for total growth and
development of WBTC otherwise it will be impossible for us to earn profit for
the current financial year i.e. 2008-09. It is very relevant to mention that the
loss incurred in WBTC for the last financial
year (2007-08) is about 160 crores whereas WBTC earned profit of 77 crores in
the financial year 2006-07. So only the positive attitude, keen supervision on
the activities of management as well as on our performance regarding
development from our association is needed and then it will not be a very
tough task for us to make profit for current financial year. Maximum importance
should be given on the growth of GSM, Broadband, Data Circuits and Value added
services. All Z/Secys. should appropriate actions on the above said issues.
PA/PS transfer & posting, DE officiating, Prayer transfer cases of DEs &Time bound promotion implementation were also discussed with CGM. |

State Secy. and Asstt. Secy./Circle met DGM(Trans & BSS)/WBTC and had a prolong discussion on the developmental and maintenance activity of mobile service in WB Circle. The informations gathered from DGM(Trans & BSS)/WBTC are very alarming and we have to overcome this odd situation for survival. Brief of discussions are:-
Total No. of working BTSs in WBTC is 1319 and total no. of GSM connections is 14,076,69 as on 31/05/08 out of which prepaid connections are 13,30,052 and post paid connections are 77,617. On an average per day 100-150 BTSs remain out of order and proper initiative is not taken to restore the faulty BTSs. As a result we are loosing huge revenue everyday. We should have exclusive BTSs maintenance team in each and every SSA. It is very unfortunate that we are not taking proper measure. So it is requested to all the Zonal Secys. to take appropriate organisitional action and persuasion with concerned SSA heads to minimise the BTS problems.
RF Optimisation should be done for all working BTSs and also for the BTSs to be installed. Optimisation is a very continuous process to be done to provide better service quality to the customers. Optimisation is completed only for 835 BTSs in WBTC out of 1319 till date.
Drive Test Tools have been supplied by M/S Nortel, details of which are given below:
