VINAYAGAR CHATHURTHI 11 SEP 2010 (SATURDAY) DECLARED HOLIDAY

Thanks to our General Secretary/Circle Secretary/JCA Leaders/CPMG

FAX MESSAGE TO CHIEF PMG TN BY OUR GEN.SEC. AFTER PHONE TALK

Dear Comrades,

Our Circle Union has taken sincere efforts  to declare  'Vinayagar Chathurthi ' as

closed Holiday. We have taken first  step on 3.9.10  itself.  Afterwards , we have

co-ordinated with all , and even with  some  Political parties.  But  the Chief PMG

  is reluctant that  she has no powers  of her own to modify the  holiday. Now our 

General Secretary, after discussions with the CPMG  , has send  the copy  of Dte. 

 orders ,  that   the  powers are vested with  the  CPMG  and  she  may  decide  the

case by herself without consultation of State level officers committee. We hope

 definitely we would get  the orders within a couple of hours. 

The  Circle  Union   is  going  on  with  your  sincere  support on  its way for the  

 common  cause  of  the  members always. 

Thanking you Comrade.

Yours  fraternally,

J. RAMAMURTHY,  Circle Secretary.

Madam,

Sub: - Declaration of Holdiay for Vinayak Chathurthi – Case of Tamilnadu Circle

We are in receipt of many messages and phone calls informing that after the modification of
holiday to 10.09.2010 on account of Ramzan from 11.09.2010, the Vinayaka Chathurthi,
 a most celebrated festival in the South which falls on 11.09.2010 has been left out from the
holiday list. This causes more resentment amidst the staff in the entire circle.

Eventhough the decision of this change of holiday is due to the decision of circle coordination
 committee of C. G. Employees, the Chief PMG is competent to decide the holiday which
falls on Saturday according to its importance duly substituting in lieu of another holiday.

A kind attention is invited to Directorate’s letter No. 21-1/2002-PE II dt. 27.08.2002
in which the Chief PMGs are authorised to take views regarding the substitute
holidays in lieu of optional holiday, provided one of those holidays falls on Saturday.
 The same was earlier also confirmed vide DOPT OM No. 12/4/2002-JCA dt.
 06.08.2002. The copy of the instructions are enclosed for ready reference.

Accordingly, the Chief PMG can decide holiday on 11.09.2010 in lieu of the one additional
 holiday declared during Dusshera since the festival on 11.09.2010 is too important
 for all Hindus.

It is therefore requested to kindly consider the same and cause orders accordingly.
Soliciting immediate response
With profound regards

DA: as above
Yours sincerely,
