SDE OFFICIAITNG ORDERS ISSUED: We specially thank Shri. M. B. Patel Gm Admin, for issuing the orders of officiating SDE’s as it is where it is basis. We have been constantly pleading for implementing the policy guidelines on transfers, for which he has accorded the approval.

05/03/10:STAFF JUSTIFICATION OF MH CIRCLE: The information regarding staff justification of MH circle is issued by circle office. Some interesting points to note are- that many SSA do not have DGM’s posted whereas the circle office has excess DGM’s and GM’S posted than the sanctioned strength. Circle office is a unique example in the entire circle where it has less sanctioned strength but the justified staff in DE, SDE, and JTO’s is more. The justification of staff is purely based on the number of the lines working (i.e. Land line, GSM Mobile, CDMA Mobile and Broadband) in the SSA’s whereas there is no such justification for the circle office. Whereas the high revenue SSA’s like Pune are seriously demanding for the staff on the basis of sanctioned strength, but falling on the deaf ears of the circle office. Interesting, isn’t it???   Click for copy>>>
