With
reference to the subject matter, it is
replied as per the reference that
“Divisional heads were already
instructed to withdraw the counter service facility from those offices in which
poor traffic vide PMG, Chennai City
Region letter No. EST/Misc/2007/CCR dt. 27.09.2011.”
Even
though the orders were said to be issued
during the year 2011 itself,
and despite of given reply dt.
13.06.2012 , the Sunday duty made on
counter services were
not withdrawn in many
offices till date.
It
is reported from the staff of Kanchipuram HPO and from Tiruvallikeni S.O . that there
is very poor traffic
on booking of speed post , Registered Post and even EMOs
in single digit numbers and with an overall figure
of 5 to 20
transactions in a day , for which
the office has to
be opened from 10.00 AM to 05.00 PM
with a strength of 3 to 4 staff. To cite an example the report
obtained from Tiruvallikeni
S.O. is
submitted for your kind perusal.
Hence
your kind and immediate intervention
is much requested in this matter to
cancel Sunday duties on counter
services and also
on speed post delivery,
so as to relieve the
officials from mental agony and pressure.
With
regards,
(J.
