Chief Postmaster
General,
HIMACHAL PRADESH CIRCLE,
SHIMLA-171009
SUB:- Submission of agenda for discussion in the
ensuing four monthly meeting to be held with your good-self.
Respected
Sir,
Kindly
consider the following items for discussion in the ensuing four monthly meeting
scheduled to be held in this month.
1.
Acute shortage of staff, unbearable pressure of work, introduction of new
schemes in the Post Offices.
Due to avoidable delay in the recruitment
large no. of posts of PAs in HP circle are lying vacant. In the near future the
shortage will further increase due to retirements and promotions. The Postal
services are most important. In HP circle barring few divisions all the triple
handed SOs are now either double handed or single handed. Similarly the double
handed SOs are now single handed. The quantum of work and administrative
pressure for opening new accounts and to meet with the requirements of social
security pension paid through post offices has further compounded the
miseries/difficulties of the operative staff. Consequently, the hardship to the
staff is causing decline in the quality of service, which must be avoided at
any cost. Since the work cannot be completed with the existing staff, the
concerned official has no option to heir the services of an unauthorised
official viz. GDS and even an outsider, which is a very sorry state of affair.
The staffs are denied leave applied for almost in all the cases. Since there is
no alternate arrangement, I am citing an example of head post office Una just
to justify the circle union’s point. The Una Division is the 2nd
largest division having largest no of accounts and largest rate of transaction
in the circle. The sanction strength of Head Post Office Una is
19(PA)+3(APM)+1(Accountant)+1(PM). There are 35 sub post offices out of which 6
POs are working as double handed and rest of the offices are working as single
handed. Due to training of CSI, POPSK, IPPB and Mid-career, the head post
office Una will work with only 10-8 PAs whereas all the Post of the APMs are
lying vacant for the last two years. We agree with the point of view of the
administration but the health of the staff and postal services should not be
compromised. You are therefore requested to kindly allow adhoc arrangement
against the vacant posts of the PAs amongst the eligible postmen and MTS staff.
This will definitely help the postal services and staff.
2.
Keeping in abeyance the process of preparation of EST-II for establishment
review of the post offices.
There
is lot of change in the postal services due to rolling out to McCamish /CBS.
The
EST-II is prepared and the establishment is reviewed on the basis of time
factor of various items fixed decade earlier, whereas till date no time factor
has been evolved for the new schemes including CBS and McCamish. As such the
process of preparing is just enhancing the work pressure on the staff. You are
therefore requested kindly keep in abeyance the establishment review till new
time factor is evolved for all the new items.
3.
Unsatisfactory/Substandard repair/maintenance of the staff quarters and
departmental offices by the civil wing.
The circle union is constrained to
place or record the casual, unsatisfactory and substandard maintenance work
carried out by the civil wing for which larger funds are sanctioned by the
circle office. Once the repair work is commenced there is none to supervise or
to monitor the work being done. A committee may kindly be constituted to
ascertain such irregularities noticed in the work so allotted.
With regards,
Yours faithfully
(H. S. Guleria)
