Sub:     Holding of Dharna against the apathetic approach of Department in providing required infrastructure / atmosphere while rolling out the post offices to CBS on 03.04.2016

Dear comrade,

            As per the decision of Circle Working Committee of H.P. Circle Union a mass Dharna was organised at Shimla on 03.04.2016 (Sunday). Around 300 comrades from HP participated in the Dharna.

            Following mindless implementation of CBS in post offices the difficulties of the staff in the post offices were compounding. The staff was neither given adequate training nor the required infrastructure i.e availability of net connectivity and regular functioning of central server was ensured by the administration before rolling out the post offices to CBS. As a consequence, the staff helplessly was left to work in a post office at his own and there was none to rescue them. Due to irregular net connectivity and poor quality of central server the staff is made to sit in a post office beyond duty hours.

            Surprisingly, the administration does not seem to be responsive to the needs of the staff and simply a sterio type reply is given that ‘’it will settle slowly by itself’’.

            The time taken for each transaction on finacle is higher than the time taken on Sanchay Post.

            The Dharna was successful and concluded with resolution that a memorandum be prepared for submission to the Prime Minister / Communication Minister requesting for immediate action.

            The resolution passed in the Dharna on 03.04.2016 solicite that the CHQ should definitely evolve a programme to mitigate the hardships of the staff working in the CBS post offices.

            The copies of press clipings are enclosed.

                                                                                    Yours comradely,
