No.P3/2- /Chennai City Central                                                                                                                         Dated the 12.10.2011

To

Smt. Santhi Nair, IPS,

Chief Postmaster General,

Tamilnadu Circle,

Chennai 600 002.

Respected Madam,

Sub: Unmindful and indiscriminate  issuance of orders to close Teynampet West PO by the SSPOs.,

         Chennai City Central Division -  Request  for immediate  intervention and to stop such moves.

Ref: Our Circle Union letter dt. 29.09.2011  a/t Chief PMG, Tamilnadu Circle.

                                                                                                      -:oOo:-

A kind reference is invited to the  letter cited. It is once again to note here that  the Secretary Posts  has  entered into a written agreement with  the  JCA  leaders  of all the Union  Vide No. 08/09/2011-SR dt.06.07.2011  and recorded that  there would be no closure of Pos & whenever needed  it  would  be  relocated. 

                                                                                                                                 

But  to our dismay,  contrary to that,  the SSPOs., Chennai City Central Division has ordered to close down Teynampet West PO  on 15.10.2011.  You may aware that this PO  is situated in a prime Locality owned by TNCC Kamarajar Arangam near Teynampet  Police station and  under  the usage of larger public.

In order to protest  the withdrawal of public services abruptly, a larger program of agitation was held  before this office on  28.09.2011 and  many service organisations and  political party  leaders have taken part  in the program.   This was  well covered by the  Tele media as well   by the print media . State and Central level  representatives of  political parties  given press reports  and  were telecasted by many  TV channels.  They also  exhibited  the  signed agreement  given by the  Secretary posts  before the media. This  completely  shatters  the  image of our Department   among masses, and  exposes the disorderliness of our  low rung officers violating   the Secretary Posts  agreement and written commitment   which was given  in public interest.  The sitting  Rajya Sabha M.P.  Com. T.K.Rangarajan has also addressed in this matter to our CPMG, TN to stop closure of  such a public service and  a copy is also endorsed to us.

Actually the reason furnished by the local level administration is,  to pay huge arrears of rent to the Land Lord and hence the  PO is proposed  for  closure. But  as learnt  , it is only  because of the fault of the local administration that  the periodical due revisions were not made, which causes the litigation. It may be negotiated with the  TNCC  authorities after local body elections are over, by utilising the public organisations.  We are to co-operate with. But  closure  is  not   the answer  to settle  any problem.

Hence we request    the kind intervention  of the  Chief PMG  in this matter so as to stop  such orders of  closure and  to restore  the  P.O. in the  interest   of  public services. 

Thanking you Madam,

With regards,

SD/-  ...

(J. RAMAMURTHY)

CIRCLE SECRETARY.
