No.: IMPCS/PLG/Land Hiring/2008-09/10 Dated 19th October, 2009
To: All Heads of SSAs,
Gujarat Telecom Circle.
Sub: Authorization to all SDEs/JTOs I/C of Exchanges/BTSs to lay OF Cable & UG Cable by
engaging LOCAL LABORS.
In order to expedite the provisioning of OFC Media to Phase V BTS sites, it has been
decided as under pl;
a) For all OF Cable laying works (Laying of HDPE Pipes) of length less than or equal to
500mtrs, all SDEs/JTOs are empowered to engage LOCAL LABORS from city/town/village
for making of trench, laying of HDPE pipes with protection pipes if required, refilling of
trench, making of joint pit etc.
b) Similarly for all UG Cable laying works of length less than or equal to 500mtrs, all SDEs/JTOs
are empowered to engage LOCAL LABORS from city/town/village for making of trench,
laying of UG Cable with protection if required, refilling of trench, making of joint pit etc.
However UG Cable under these orders should be laid only in those areas where immediate
demand of Landline & Broadband is available so that UG Cable is put to use immediately
after it is laid.
c) Payments to LOCAL LABORS, engaged for the purpose (given under S.No. a & b above)
shall be made by SDE/JTO concerned on ACG-17 after obtaining suitable temporary advance
for this purpose. One advance can be taken for more than one route and its account should
be closed with the completion of those routes. These temporary advances shall be approved
by DE concerned only.
Following guidelines/procedure may be adopted in all SSAs to ensure that above
instructions fulfill the purpose for which these have been issued;
1) All SSA heads should ensure that all concerned SDEs/JTOs are suitably briefed about the
construction practices of OF Cable before they implement these orders.
2) Obtaining of the local municipal permissions shall be the responsibility of the SDE
concerned.
3) The executives, who are delegated these powers, may ensure that no individual labor is
engaged for more than 30 days at a time and not more than 100 days in a year in split
engagement.
4) If multiple such sites (of length upto 500mtrs, for OF Cable & UG Cable) exist in the
jurisdiction of concerned SDE/JTO then he/she should ensure that work is taken-up
simultaneously in all the sites by engaging LOCAL LABORS so that work is commenced and
completed in parallel. This by default shall ensure compliance of directive given under S.No.
3 above. It is known from our past experiences that a team of 10-15 LOCAL LABORS shall
generally take approximately 10 days, depending on the soil, to complete 500mtrs OFC work.
Time required for UG Cable shall be even less due to lesser trench depth requirement.
5) The executive concerned shall prepare and attach following with the ACE-2 account (and
will also maintain one copy in his office records);
i. Route Index Diagram of the OF/UG Cable laid.
ii. Total expenditure incurred route-wise.
iii. Brief on the nature of soil encountered while executing the work.
6) For the acceptance testing, the SSA heads are authorized to nominate other SDEs
