Dt: 17.6.2013.
1. Grant of peripheral HRA in consonance with
the List of Urban Agglomerations notified in 2011 Population totals released by
the Census of India 2011 of Govt. of India, instead of awaiting for dependency
certificate years-to-gether from the respective Collectorates. (It is well
placed in the Census of India 2011 that the notified urban agglomeration is a
continuous urban spread constituting a town and its adjoining growths).
(Reply
in RJCM TN under sl. 19 dt. 24.7.12- It is a subject matter to be decided at
Dte. level).
2.
Request to withdraw extension of
business hours upto 5.00 PM(total 7 hours) including Saturdays against ILO
norms and against 5 day week- administrative office/ 6 day week – operative
office principles.
(Reply
given in RJCM TN Circle under item 7 of 24.7.2012 – As per the instructions
contained in Dte. No. 11-2/2004-p.o. dt. 26.6.2012 instructions were issued to
all the Divisions/units in other regions also to revise/extend the business
hours upto 17.00 hours based on demand and revenue.)
3. Request to withdraw Dte. instructions to
attend mails and presorting works by
drawing officials on Sundays/ holidays,
since it is unfair labour practice and
affects the mental balance of the working officials , attending
duties without even week holidays. (Copy of letter sent to SPOs/SSPOs through e-mail is enclosed)
4.
LSG promotions are now given based on
the date of confirmation and not on date of appointment,
as
per the standing orders. But
while introduction of TBOP/BCR,
LSG/HSG II were treated equal to
, and
were treated as Divisional cadre. Based on that promotions were awarded, till 2.6.2002 on
Divisional seniority basis.
Thereafter, the position was restored and LSG promotion
was treated as Circle cadre, only after amendment of LSG Rectt Rules during
2006. But notional promotions for the
in-between periods were given only based on Divisional Seniority. It is well known
that, while Lien system prevailing, date
of confirmation is varying Division to
Division and during that period
promotions were given based on Divisional Seniority basis. Hence while
switching over LSG from Divisional cadre into Circle Cadre, the seniority should be
corrected as a one time measure, for those who have been appointed prior
to 4.11.92.
5. Due to acute shortage of staff, the existing
LRPAs were positioned against regular vacant posts, years-to-gether, and slowly the LR P.A. s were amalgamated
within the sanctioned strength mostly in
all the Divisions and the Rectt. was denied against the 10% LRPAs posts, as in the case of
residual vacancies. Hence a thorough
review is requested in order to restore the LR strength exclusively.
6.
Abnormal work load is increased in all areas to the P.A.
cadre due to several aspects as below:-
i)
Unnormed business item of works added to folds
like EB Bill, Aadhaar cards, Gold
coin sales, IMT services, sale of private publications , sim card sales & various local tie up business,
which comes upto an addition of 30-40% of the
regular work load.
ii)
RPLI and PLI works are now decentralized to HO levels and there is no creation
of post decades together, which added further work load of upto 30% in
addition.
iii)
Many P.A.s from General branches were diverted to the non existing
posts of M.E./S.A./ DSM/CRM etc. and creating artificial vacancies,
which is manned by the existing staff.
iv)
ADR rectt. for 2011 and 2012 is badly delayed, thereby also there is increase in work load
upto
15% to the existing staff.
Hence
, inorder to cope up with the day to day works, the services of willing ,eligible GDS/Postmen/MTS staff may be
utilized on leave vacancies/clear vacant posts as in the case of officiating given on Postman/MTS.
7.
Request for fencing of Govt.
properties, vacant lands owned by
the Department, in order to protect from encroachments.
8.
The declared 25% incentive is now paid only on petty items . It is not paid
in all the business items such as Sale of Gold Coins , IMT services which
yields good shape of commission. Moreover there is no guidelines to apportion
the incentive with the Supervisors and clerical staff. This should be ensured.
9.
The Directorate orders dt. 19.7.2010 restoring the surrendered 26% posts on
TBOP/BCR was not implemented in true
spirit. During that time of surrender,
posts were identified and abolished individually.
(RJCM reply is
‘ it has nowhere been stated
that the posts reduced on TBOP/BCR will be restored. As such the question of
restoration of the posts reduced does
not arise at all. ‘)
