He also assures that the recommendations of the Committee including functional promotion are expected to be cleared by the Management Committee in its meeting on 22^nd June 2005 and will then be placed for the approval of the Director Board scheduled to meet on 29^th June 2005.

The track record of the BSNL Management has thus far not been as straight as we expected. Members may therefore exercise nothing more than cautious optimism. The CWC meeting of SNEA at Hyderabad will consider all the issues in the right perspective taking into consideration the opinion and views of the grass root level members and work out strategies to ensure satisfactory settlement of the promotion Policy.
