To
Smt. Shanthi  Nair, IPS,
Chief Postmaster General,

Chennai 600 002.

No. P3/Salem West                                                                                              dated the 17.08.2012

Respected Madam,

       Sub: Vindictive attitude of the SPOs, Salem West Division  and   continued harassment  made by him
               against  the staff of  Salem West Division  despite of the enquiry made by the C.O./R.O. on the
               complaints made by  our Circle Union- Reg.
       Ref: 1. Our Circle Union  letter dt. 01.03.2012 & 20.03.2012.
              2. Our Circle Union letter dt. 05.07.2012 and 11.07.2012 - also sent thro  e- mail.
              3. Our Circle Union agitational programme notice dt. 30.06.2012.
              4. Savingrams  sent  by  Divisional /Branach unions seeking the intervention of the CPMG,TN.
                                                                                                                …..
Kindly refer to the  letters  mentioned  above  in connection with the subject  matter.  We have already elaborated that  more than 28 officials were punished by him within a  span of  4 months  in a vindictive manner so as to cover up his misdeeds.

It is reliably learnt that  with his presence and   power   there,  he  made  high level influence with the  Lodge authorities and  Sathish Catering men  to  make reports to the investigating authorities  in his favour .  It is a expected line and  already  our Circle Union  indicated this fact before the eyes of the  CPMG, TN in our  letters cited under ref. 2 above.  Hence only we requested the  Chief PMG to  shift  him from Salem  west in order to  make a free and fair enquiry.

Even though  oral  enquiry may be  favoured  by him, the records are still speaking the truth.  The  copy of ledger of Shree Rajkamal Residency, Suramangalam  submitted  to Suramangalam Police station as a legal document was obtained  by  the   Lawyer  mentioned in our letters  under ref. 1,  through  RTI Act  and  the same  was submitted before your eyes  to unveil  the truth, which cannot be  wrapped up .

 We have also  submitted the copy of original receipt used by the said Lodge   containing  sl. No. and other required columns, whereas  his claimed bill contains nothing ,  but  only a letter head.  The handwritings  on the bills  will speak volumes.  The  National Flag hoisting on 15.08.2011 at Suramangalam HO by the Postmaster himself  will speak the truth that  the SPOs.,  was not physically available there  on that date.  But his bogus bill says that  he  was  at Suramangalam  on that date.  Then why he has not taken part in national flag hoisting, which is his fundamental  duty and this shows  volumes.

Despite of all these things, even after  our statewide agitation, even after  the high level enquiry, he  is not interested to correct  his anti-labour activities and  vindictive actions against the staff. Instead he geared strength  from the  sympathy shown on him  by the higher  authorities,  and now unleashing  fresh attacks  against the staff.  He openly challenging  before all the staff  that “ he will finish his accounts “  on our union office bearers  very shortly.
                             
Recently, he has issued charge sheet under Rule 14 against the SPM, Gonur S.O. on some petty charges, who is due for  superannuation on 31.08.2012 . Also , he has issued  Rule 16  charge sheet  to the  APM Accounts, and the  Schedule PA,  clubbing  the  charges  on Gonur  issue.   Now the total no. of  charge sheets  issued  are  raised  to 31 within  a span of  5 months.

Also  the  SPOs., Salem west    is  chasing  the  Divisional Secretary to book  him  under  Rule 14,  on the  same  issue,  for   which  he  is  in no way connected.  The SPOs., threatened  the  officials of Gonur SO   to give statements against   our  Divisional Secretary  as if,   he  was present  at   Gonur  S.O.  at  morning hours and  helped  the  SPM to make  the excess  amount of  Rs.5000/- into SB Credit  from  UCR  head.  Such  chasing actions of the  SPOs., were also already reported to the knowledge of the  CPMG, TN  vide our  reference  cited  under sl. 2. The  copy of recent letters received to our Circle Union from   the  Divisional  end  are  enclosed herewith for your  kind  perusal.

Now  the working atmosphere  is   totally spoiled  there and  the  entire staff are under panic .  The  staff are  under mental agony  and  this spoils   the  public services  .  If   such  a  vindictive   chase and  hitting  trend continues  there,  it would definitely  turn into  personal  enmity  between the administration and the general staff  and  ruin  the  industrial peace.

Our  Circle  Union  brings   before the  eyes  of the Chief PMG  everything  and  her  personal  intervention is  very much needed  in this matter,  in order to protect   the staff ,  protect the  services and  to protect the  industrial peace.  Our  Circle Union is under   abnormal  pressure  from ground level,  to go ahead   for  continued   statewide  trade union  programmes  on this issue , but  we are  still waiting   the  feel good  response  from  the administrative part. Better late, than never.
With regards,

CIRCLE SECRETARY.
