SOME OF THE RECENTLY TAKEN UP CASES FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE

No.P3/   -2/Kanchipuram                                                                                               Dated the 14.02.2012

To
The Chief  Postmaster General,
Tamilnadu  Circle ,
Chennai 600 002.

Madam,

Sub: Abrupt   closure of  P.O.s ordered by the SSPOs., Kanchipuram Division violating  the  orders of  Dte. -  Request  for immediate  intervention and to stop such moves.
Ref:   Dte no. 8/09/2011-SR dt. 6.7.2011 and No.40-6/2011-PLG(P) dated 25.08.2011 and 8/11/2011-
           SR  Dated 16.1.2012.
                                                                                                      -:oOo:-

A kind reference is invited to the  letters  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 16.1.2012, recorded that  there would be no closure of Pos & whenever needed  it  would  be  relocated. 
                                                                                                                                 
But  to our dismay,  contrary to that,  the SSPOs., Kanchipuram has ordered to close down Pattunoolchatram SO and Kanchipuram Cutchery SO  abruptly.  You may aware that these POs are situated in a prime Locality and  under  the usage of larger public.

In order to protest  the withdrawal of public services abruptly, many service organisations and  political party  leaders have raised  this issue with the  Postal authorities concer ned.   This action was criticised by the  print media and  the image of  our  Department  is  damaged in the eyes of common public. State and Central level  representatives of  political parties  given press reports   about the abrupt withdrawal of public services. 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. 

Actually the reason furnished  by the local authorities is,   these  P.O.s are not running under profit basis and hence  it was decided  to close  . This  is  not  in resonance with  the  Secretary Posts  commitment. The staff unions and  the  public  forums including  the  Law Chambers are prepared  to  improve the transactions  and  very well interested  to keep  the   Postal services there. 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.s in the  interest   of  public services. 
Thanking you Madam,
With regards,

No.P3/   -2/ Tambaram                                                                                                  Dated the 14.02.2012

To
The Postmaster General,
Chennai City Region,
Chennai 600 002.

Sir,
               Sub:  Non inclusion of  new  membership  into  AIPEU Gr.C submitted  during April 2011-
                         Case of  Tambaram Division – Reg.
               Ref:  The list of new members  submitted  by the Divisional Secretary alongwith the
                        declarations obtained from the members concerned  on 30.04.2011.
                                                                                                ….

This is in connection with the  subject mentioned above.  A Xerox  copy of the  said item refd to  is also appended herewith for your kind  perusal.

The Divisional Secretary  of   this Union has submitted a list of  new members , alongwith the  declarations obtained from them during  April 2011,  to the  Divisional administration on 30.04.2011, comprising   the   new members of  Tambaram, Ambattur and  Avadi units concerned.   A  over view of the  Xerox  copy of the same  will reveal that   the  said list was   got  signed by the   ASP (HQ)  of Tambaram Division, who   presented him  on that  date  at   Divisional Office, as per  the   guidelines of the  Department, though    being   the  day  , Saturday.

Subsequently, it was  misinterpreted  that  , being     the  day  a Saturday,   it  was not   a working day  and hence   the   submitted   list     would become  invalid.  This  is  totally  wrong     and   one of the officer is  expected  to be   in the  Headquarters office , as per  the    guidelines of the  Directorate and   being    the  day , a  last working  day  of the     month April,    the   list  so submitted  by the  Divisional  Secretary  is  very well valid.  The was also  duly  signed  for  having  received   in time.

On any  account ,   keeping  pending   the issue   in a prolonged manner  is  not   justified on the part of  Divisional administration and   leads to attribution of bias .  The next April   is also fast approaching and hence  this case may kindly be  settled  at the immediate and  orders may kindly be issued so as to include the   members in  our   Divisional/Branch  union and  recovery of subscription  may kindly be arranged to be made , during  the  payment  of February 2012.
Thanking you Sir,

Sir,
                        Sub: Request to consider the Rule 38 transfer case within the Region-
                                 Case of Smt. M. Kaleeswari, SPM, Padmanabamangalam PO,
                                 Tuticorin Division to Tirunelveli Division under spouse category-Reg.
                                                                        -:oOo:-

Kindly recall  our discussions  during the  last bi-monthly  meeting of Southern Region in connection with  the  abovesaid transfer case.

The said official  has got married with one Sri. G. Bharathi Gandhi, native of Ambasamudram on 13.11.2011. Her husband is working as a teacher in Sarada Aided Middle school in Idaikal. She  is also the grand daughter of   Sri.M. Pechimuthu,retd.  Postmaster  , Anna Road HPO, who has rendered notable service in  the department with good record.

Hence we request  that   this  case may kindly be considered under spouse category and transfer may be ordered  to  Tirunelveli Division at the  earlier means.

No.P3/2- /Ch.GPO                                                                           Dt.  The 31.01.2012.

To
The Postmaster General,
Chennai City Region,
Chennai 600 002.

Sir,
                        Sub :  Recall of PAs  deputed from Chennai GPO  to other units– Reg.
                                                                                    -:OoO:-

It is to note  here that   already  10 P.A.s are  under  deputation from Chennai GPO  and attached at  Chennai City South Division  and 6 P.A.s at  CCR and 2 P.A.s at  Circle Office,  one at  PSD  and one at CSD  and one at Civil Wing from  Chennai GPO establishment. Most of the P.A.s now working  in South Division are not utilized for clearing minus balance cases , but  utilized in  vacant places  as if of their own establishment. This  is not  correct on any count .

It has already been  placed  as a subject  in the RJCM  that   such  recruited P.A.s against
sanctioned establishment   of  Chennai GPO should be  recalled, since   the  staff  are already suffering   much  due  to  shortage of  staff. It was discussed at length  and the CPMG  is also agreed  of the  fact.

Hence the deputationists already serving in City South Division  may  be  redrawn to Chennai GPO, on induction of  various hands  at South Division by means of  temporary transfer or Rule 38 transfers.  This may be  ordered according to their  date of deputation viz. from the first list issued  on 21.04.2011 onwards maintaining  uniformity, since they are suffering  for long. 

Expecting   your   kind action and  reply.
Thanking you Sir,

To
The Postmaster General,
Chennai City Region,
Chennai 600 002.

Sir,
                        Sub: Irregular casting of Divisional Gradation List  at Anna Road HPO unit
                                 Surpassing the seniority of many seniors by the recently appointed
                                 RRR candidates  and irregular drawing of LR list– Reg.
                        Ref:   Our Union letter dt. 09.01.2012 on this subject.
                                                                                    ooo
Kindly recall the  reference mentioned above, wherein  it is brought to the notice of the PMG, CCR about the irregular casting of  the  gradation list  of Time Scale P.A.s at Anna Road HPO   surpassing the seniority of  many seniors by  the recently appointed  RRR candidates.

We have made the reference with the  support  of the  orders of  Honble  Supreme Court of India
in Civil Appeal No.7773, 7779 of 2009  dt. 30.07.2010 that “ the appellants are directed to regularize the services of all the 202 respondents who are working in the Department against short term/leave vacancies with effect from their date of appointment” which inter-alia means that their  seniority is derived from their original date of appointment , after observing  all the formalities in consonance with the  recruitment rules concerned.

To add in the row, now the  LR List  was released in gross violation of the orders of the department on various counts.  Even  this has no reflection of  inclusion of various Rule38 inward officials since the year 2000,  willfully omitting a few and  including even the last person available in the gradation list , who was a recent Rule 38 inward official inducted into the unit by 14.05.2011. This shows the selective  attitude of the 
Anna Road
administration, to favour somebody on pecuniary grounds, the reason is best known.

To cite an example , in the  recent LR list  the name of Smt. P. Nabeesa Meera(DGL No.125) was found under sl. 1 and  the name of V. Arumugam (DGL No.164) was found in  last sl. of the list viz. No. 18. In between sl. 125 and 164 there are  about 39 officials available in the recently drawn gradation list, where  more Rule 38 in ward officials are available, who are not  supposed to be  promoted to  any  higher  post such as LSG /HSG II etc. and they are only TBOP/BCR/MACP I/II/III  which are  termed as financial upgradations.

Hence our Circle Union requesting the PMG, CCR to intervene in this matter immediately, so as to set right  the things and  make the
Anna Road
administration to fit in to rails .

Expecting kind action in this regard . A  line in reply is much requested.
Thanking you Sir,

Sir,
                        Sub :  Recall of PAs  deputed from CCNorth  to City South Dn.– Reg.
                                                                                    -:OoO:-

It is to note here that most of the P.A.s deputed from other units and now  working  in South Division are not utilized for clearing minus balance cases , but  utilized in  vacant places  as if of their own establishment. This  is not  correct on any count .

It is reported by the Divisional Union of Chennai City North that one Sri. Prabhu Doss, PA, Washermanpetta PO was  deputed to St. Thomas Mount HO   of Chennai City South Division , specifically for the purpose of attending minus balance work, but  he was utilized in  regular branches  and vacant/leave places on day to day basis.

This is gross violation of the  orders of R.O. and   defeating  the  very purpose of the deputations.

Hence we request the  kind  intervention of the PMG, CCR in this connection and  to return back the  deputation made from Chennai City North Division at the immediate.

Expecting   your   kind action and  reply.

The Postmaster General,
Chennai City Region,
Chennai 600 002.

Sir,                  Sub: Huge fraud at
GA Road PO
– Request to protect the working staff- Reg.

     There was a huge fraud at
G. A. Road
single handed PO  at CCN Dn.,and the actual amount of fraud committed is yet to be ascertained.  Almost all the SB, RD, MIS,TD etc. transactions have been looted by the suspended official.  The present problem is that the office is located in a sensitive area studded with slum area. 

      The pre mature closures which are on the rise after hearing about the fraud could not be settled  with reference to  the PBs concerned and  the  office records are yet to be throughly verified and set right  by the administrative part.

      We have already demanded that one extra hand may be attached for exclusively setting right the records after 100% verification done by an ASP.  But the DO is yet to act.  This results in the LRPAs deputed to the office facing the music from the irate public.

       One lady official fell ill, another got mental oppression and hospitalised, a gent LRPA met with an accident owing to pressure.  How many officials would be victimised for no fault of theirs? 

       Hence this matter  should be looked into  seriously and action may kindly be taken  to give immediate assistance to the   working official by means of deputing one additional hand, besides  clearing   the   100% verification process in a war footing manner.

                               We expect  immediate kind action and a line in reply.
                                                           Thanking you Sir,

Madam,
                        Sub: Non grant of MACP  to the official who declined TBOP – Case of
                                 Smt. R. Malarvizhi, PA, Dharmapuri HO – Reg.
                        Ref:  PMG, WR  letter no. STA/10-1/DPI/10 dt. 10.01.2012 a/t CPMG,TN.
                                                                        -:oOo:-

This is in connection with the non granting of MACP to the  abovesaid official  and a reference is made already to the Circle office from the PMG,WR to get clarification  on this issue.

The said official  was granted with TBOP by the SPOs., Dharmapuri only  on 19.1.2009, after the introduction of the MACP schemes and after scrapping of   TBOP/BCR schemes, though the  date  of  financial upgradation under TBOP is ordered  retrospectively from 8.3.2008.

Hence  the  said  order is invalid as per the  basic  rules of the Department. But   the SPOs., Dharmapuri misconstrued  and taken a stand  that   the said  official has declined  her  non existing TBOP   in the year 2009 and hence  she is not eligible for  due financial upgradation under MACP.

Also  three years have crossed  from the date of declination of  the  non existing TBOP and even  till date  her  case was not considered for   MACP.  This  is  gross violation of the  basic rules of the Department.

Hence we request the CPMG, TN  to intervene  in this case  immediately so as to  grant the due MACP to the said  official  from the   date by which  she is actually due.

Expecting  kind action and  a line in reply.
