Lucknow, February 26 Transfer orders have been issued to two senior BSNL officials in Uttar Pradesh in connection with a controversial office order detailing arrangements for a board director's proposed visit to Prayagraj, but they have not yet been relieved of their duties, sources said on Thursday.
The proposed February 25-26 visit of BSNL Director (Consumer Fixed Access) Vivek Banzal to Prayagraj was in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, as the elaborate arrangements went viral on social media.
The visit was ultimately cancelled, and a show-cause notice was issued to Banzal, while two Prayagraj-based officials – Jogeshwar Verma, Deputy General Manager (Administration), and Brijendra Kumar Singh, Principal General Manager (Business Area) – were issued transfer orders.
"As of now, the officers have not been relieved," a BSNL source said, adding that the transfer orders are the subject of intense discussion among employees.
"The thing is, many employees know that this isn't perhaps the first time such an office order has been issued. What everyone does know, however, is that this time the office order got leaked," the source told
