Sub: Initiation of HISCOD in the CBS offices
Respected
Sir,
The Circle Office have issued
instructions to ensure initiation of HISCOD well before the close of the
office. In the CBS office, entire work of the office depends upon the
functioning of computer networks, net connectivity and regular functioning of
central server and Finacle. Besides this, the continue supply of electricity in
the CBS office is most needed.
Since, the time taken for each
transaction on Finacle is higher than the Sanchay Post and there is 50%
shortage of man power in every office. The HISCOD has to be initiated on
completion of / verification of all the transactions and clearing all blocking
validations. Every day, a mail is received from CPC Shimla that the finacle is
down throughout India. In one case, a user is logged in but the supervisor
login was denied for hours together. Will it not cause delay in completion of
verification work and initiation of HISCOD.
In many sub post offices, where
the net connectivity is totally failed the SPM concerned is completing the work
either in Head Post Office or in the nearby CBS office. We feel that the siffy
network authorities are not seriously looking after the connectivity problem.
Moreover, many offices have been rolled out to CBS offices without ensuring
proper functioning of NSP-1. Despite having raised a ticket, net connectivity
in some offices especially D or E class was restored after three or four days.
The information is well available with Divisional Offices. The reason behind it
is that the siffy technologies use to take up the matter with BSNL who in turn
takes three or four days usually to set right the problem.
Your goodself will agree that
many of the offices are opened beyond duty hours even upto 1100 hours. They are
very sincerely putting their best to complete the work and make the CBS project
a grand success without being equipped with appropriate men and material. Even
they are not being compensated for the late sittings. Should it not be appreciated?
Unfortunately, the perusal of
messages in the Tech-minds group of whatsapp reveal that administration at any
level have no concern to the staff who are striving hard by late sittings to
complete the work and surprisingly enough, you have tweeted that ‘’ a solid danda is needed to be used for
all those persons who have not initiated the HISCOD well in time’’ without knowing the reasons and the circumstances behind it.
The Circle Union salute whole
working class of Himachal Pradesh Circle who are doing a marvelous job with a
shortage of 50% hands without any extra remuneration despite having been
requested by this union. In such circumstances, the circle union express its
serious concern over such a tweet which is a humiliating and discouraging one
to the brave postal employees of HP.
Your goodself is therefore
requested kindly discuss the issue with the staff side on initiation of HISCOD
so that ground realities may also be highlighted and an appropriate instruction
on the subject be issued.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
(H. S. Guleria)

Submission of Memorandum on the burning problems of the postal employees.
All
India Postal Employees Union Group ‘’C’’ H.P. Circle HQ at Una-174303
No: HP/P-III/Agitation dated at Una the 07.05.2016
To
Shri Narender Modi Ji,
Honorable Prime Minister of India,
New Delhi-110001
Sub: Submission of Memorandum on the burning
problems of the postal employees.
Respected
Sir,
I , have been directed by the All
India Postal Employees Union Group ‘’C’’ H.P Circle to bring to your kind
notice the miserable plight of postal employees working in post offices.
Sir, the Indian Postal system is the
largest and most credible Department catering the needs of one billion people
of India particularly the people working in rural India. The postal Department
is the victim of apathy of previous Government which is left to be run by
bureaucracy only. We are soliciting your kind intervention to kindly safeguard
the interest of postal services and the postal employees.
(1) Shortage
of staff in Postal Department
The 7th Pay Commission in
his report has admitted that there is shortage of around 60000 Group ‘’C’’
employees in the post offices. Whereas there is no shortage in Group ‘’A’’ and
Group ‘’B’’ Officers. Due to irregular / impracticable recruitment policy, the
recruitment against the vacant posts could not be made during the last three
years. Resultantly, the figures of vacant posts of Group ‘’C’’ staff have
arisen to 70000. In Himachal Pradesh which is a hilly state around 1000 posts
are lying vacant.
Sir, the services are to be run by
the postal employees only. The mechanization / the computerization /
modernization is for the benefit of the staff / public / Department. But any
Department can not function smoothly to needs of the public without the
manpower. The postal employees of Himachal Pradesh pray and solicite your kind
intervention to cause filling up of all the vacant posts and the accountability
of the authorities concerned for not filling up these posts well in time may
kindly be fixed.
(2) Introduction
of various new schemes in the name of IT Project-2012 in the post offices
As per IT Modernization project 2012
, all the post offices are to be rolled out to CBS. It is learnt that targets
are fixed at the central level to the circles for rolling out the post offices
to the CBS and the authorities at the lower level are mindlessly implementing
the schemes without ensuring appropriate manpower and infrastructure in the
post offices. The time taken on every transaction of the CBS office is higher
than the time taken for the work done on previous software. In the CBS, every transaction
has to be verified by the supervisor but surprisingly in post offices there is
shortage of supervisors by 50%. As a consequence, the verification work is
either being performed by the operator itself or by the person not authorised
to do it.
Despite all that the postal
employees by working late hours till midnight have successfully implemented the
CBS project without any proper training/ relief.
The CBS functioning depends upon
manpower, net connectivity and regular functioning of central server. In post
offices, it is very often complained that the connectivity is very poor. Every
day a mail is received conveying that Finacle ‘’The CBS Software’’ is down all
over India and the staff working in the post offices has to wait to resume the
work till central server and net connectivity is restored. The Postal
Administration who claims its success in implementing the various projects has
no accountability in redressing the issues being faced by the staff. In
Himachal Pradesh, the Government provides holding of periodical meetings
between the Administration and the Unions, unfortunately, despite repeated
requests the Chief Postmaster General Himachal Pradesh Maj Gen A. K. Shori is
deliberately avoiding holding of such meetings resulting compounding of the
issues being faced by the staff.
Due to this attitude, the postal employees
of Himachal Pradesh organised a protest Day Long Dharna on 03.04.2016 (Sunday)
at Shimla to focus the attention of the authorities concerned on the issues
emerging out from the implementation of new schemes.
There is every mechanism available
to question the poor lower level employee who is responsible to give a shape to
the Government policies at the ground level but Sir, there is a feeling rather
it is true there is none to question the bureaucracy on their do’s and don’ts.
The postal employees of Himachal
Pradesh as well as of India have very high hopes from our Honorable Prime
Minister known for his prompt decisions as well as for his commitments. As
such, we hope that an appropriate remedial action to save the credibility of
postal Department and the peace of mind of postal employees will be taken.
With profound regards,
Yours
faithfully,
(H.

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

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,
(H S Guleria)
