Circle Shimla-09
Sub: Observance of Protest Day to focus the
issues confronting the staff while discharging the duties in the operative
offices and postponement thereof to 8th
Feb 2015.
Respected Sir,
A kind reference
is invited to this Union letter no even dated 17.08.2014 and letter No
HP/P-III/RJCM dated 18.08.2014, wherein details of issues seeking the personal
intervention of your goodself to redress the issues. Further, this Union letter
No even dated 02.01.2015, communicating the decision of the Circle Working
Committee Meeting of this Union held at Manikaran Mandi on 15.11.2014 and
16.11.2014 for organizing the Protest Day on 25th Jan 2015.
On the request
of/ advise of the members of the Circle Working Committee keeping in view the
inclement weather and hectic HP Government programme organizing Himachal Day on
25th Jan 2015, the said protest Day Programme has been postponed to
be organized on 08.02.2015 [Sunday] before GPO Shimla.
Respected Sir,
following our requests conveyed vide this Union letter No even dated 17.08.2014
and letter No HP/P-III/RJCM dated 18.08.2014, we have been hopeful of
discussions on the issues listed in the said letters as requested vide this
Union letter No even dated 17.08.2014. This issue was also discussed in the
Circle Working Committee Meeting held at Manikaran. The Circle Secretary was
advised by the Working Committee to wait and to take an appropriate decision.
Till date this Union has not received any communication of any such meeting for
discussion of the issues.
Sir, however,
the Circle Union have received replies on few issues and which does not reflect
any serious note taken by the Circle Office to mitigate the hardships. Further
Circle Office letter No STA/28-15/2014 dated 20.01.2015 addressed to this Union
has also been received and the perusal of the reply reflects that the issues
are not at all given a thought at the level of Circle Office and replies merely
furnished on the basis of the report of the Divisional Heads concerned. Whereas
number of issues listed in the above letters dated 17.08.2014 and 18.08.2014
are either ignored or not pursued.
As such, the
Circle Union is directed to refurnish such issues for an appropriate action at
the level of Circle Office. The issues referred to Directorate also need to be
pursued vigorously.
1.
Awarding
of AMC for the computers and its peripherals/UPS/Printers etc:
In order to
ensure smooth functioning of the computers and its peripherals the only option
is AMC as in the present scenario operative staff cannot made to be suffered
for making frequent requests to the Divisional Heads for remedial measures.
2.
Shifting
of Administrative Control of Speed Post Hub Mandi and Shimla:
As per
Directorate instructions, the Administrative control of speed post hubs of the
stations where RMS office is functioning is to be shifted to RMS. Kindly cause
suitable actions.
3.
Providing
o Standard accommodation to the SPMs:
At present, many
of the residence attached to the Post of Sub Postmasters are Sub standard and
are not worth living and the SPMs are facing deduction of HRA and license fees.
As such, the Divisional Heads be directed to either provide standard residence
or allow the SPMs to stay in desired rented accommodation.
4.
Anti
staff attitude/Intolerable behavior of Shri Ravinder Kumar Sharma, ASPOs Una
Despite repeated
requests from this Union and strong resentment amongst the members of the staff
of Una Division, no remedial measure seems to have been taken to create a
congenial atmosphere in the Division. In this connection, the Circle Union
letter No HP/P-III/Una dated 02.01.2015 may kindly be referred.
5.
Issuance
of impracticable/unviable orders by the Divisional Heads to achieve unrealistic
targets of Media Post, Direct Post, iMO, MO Videsh and compelling the staff to
even made good these targets from their own pockets:
In Chamba
Division, the PLI and RPLI incentives were paid through iMOs by deducting the
commission charges of the iMO from the incentive payable to the staff. This is
very unfair, while speaking to the Postmaster Chamba, we were informed that the
SPOs Chamba has given verbal orders in this respect. The iMO commission so
recovered may be refunded to the concerned staff and this practice which
substantiates our point of view of achieving the targets be stopped forthwith.
Similarly, the Divisional Heads are issuing directions for ensuring transfers
of DET, Accounts MIS and other data without making any arrangement during
connectivity problem, power failure and the system failure and are holding
responsible he staff for non-transmission.
6.
Non-Payment
of TA/MR/PLI/RPLI incentive claims:
The Himachal
Circle enjoys a remarkable position in
the achievement of RPLI business even at All India Level but till today, the
incentive bills to the tune of Rs 90 Lacs are still pending for payment which
reflects the seriousness of the authorities fixing the targets.
7.
Pending
items of the RJCM/Four monthly meeting held on 09.07.2014
7.1
Item
No 4-8/10: Unmanageable work of SB at HPO’s and insensitive approach of
administration providing/posting staff at SB counters:
This
item was taken up in the year 2010 and neither the Circle Administration nor
any Divisional Head realized the need for posting adequate staff on the SB
counters as per workload in order to provide prompt services to the customer
and to mitigate the hardships of the staff posted there. The operative work is
utmost important whereas the Divisional Heads are always retaining justified
staff in the Administrative offices and even deputing the officials from operative
offices and none of the Divisional Heads in the Circle have given a thought on
this issue.
7.2
Item
No 2-4/12: Avoidable delay in repair of computer and the peripherals:
Despite
issuance of the instructions to the Divisional Heads on the subject, there
seems to be no improvement, the Divisional Heads are not promptly attending
such requests of the operative offices and in some cases are raising avoidable
objections to sanction such expenditure incurred for repair of the computers.
7.3
Irregular
abolition of posts pertaining to the year 2005-06, 2007 and 2008 by SPOs Una
Despite
assurance in the meeting to abolish such posts from the offices having lesser
workload, no action seems to have been taken by the SPOs Una to redistribute
the posts abolished in the Division at least as per the workload. This has
compounded the hardships/miseries of the double handed offices which are now
single handed following abolition of posts. An immediate action on the subject
is needed.
7.4
Item
No 7-12/13: Non-fixation of ex-serviceman re-employed as Postal Assistants:
The
issue was taken up in the JCM in December 2013 and none of the Divisional Heads
have examined the case seriously and its settlement is being procrastinated on
this and that pretext. Surprisingly, the item has been treated as closed.
7.5
Item
No 1-7/13: Non revision of FSC of post offices as per the Directorate orders:
The
staff side have well explained its views on the subject, as such, the staff
side may be informed the action taken as per decision taken on the subject.
7.6
Item
No 2-7/12: Non-payment of cash handling allowance to the single and double
handed post offices
The
settlement of the item is procrastinated whereas in Maharashtra Circle, it is
being paid at the revised rate and there seems to be no reason to refer the
case to the Directorate for clarification, Please decide the case at the
earliest.
7.7
Item
No 2-4/2014: Decentralization of work of PLI/RPLI to the Divisions and to the
Head Post Offices staff on the basis of workload
The
miseries of the staff are being compounded as the staff is being called from
the operative offices and no policy is evolved to provide the staff to cope
with the excess work following the decentralization.
Kindly
intervene to avoid the avoidable.
With
regards
Yours
faithfully,
[H S GULERIA]
