CYCLE SHED தனியார் நிறுவனத்திற்கு ஏலம் விடலாமா ?


No.P3/  -2/Trichy                                                                 Dated the 10.09.2012
To
The Postmaster General,
Central Region,
Trichirappalli 620 001.
Sir,
            Sub: Floating of tenders to private parties for maintenance of cycle shed  at    
                   Trichirappalli HPO  premises-Reg.
                                                            …..
It  is a shocking  surprise to receive the  report from  the general  staff  of  Trichirappalli Division that  the Senior Postmaster, Trichy has  issued  notification to float  tenders  from private parties for maintenance of  cycle shed  at Trichirappalli HPO premises. Also , it is reported that  the  rates for parking of   staff  vehicles  has to be fixed on daily basis.  In this connection  our  Circle Union  brings the following  for your kind notice  and  for  taking immediate action   so as to stop such  move  both in the interest of staff and  in the interest  of the  Department.

1. It is a known fact  that  Trichirappalli HPO is a  major   headquarters office  of the  entire  Region and  having  cash transaction  of crores  of  Rupees on daily basis.

2. No  police  escort is made  for the safety of the cash/ Treasury on daily basis  as prescribed in the  Departmental Rules . As per police records,  dacoity/burglary are reported  on many occasion  within the city limits  in many government  establishments  and  even  day  light robbery  is reported at  Ponparappi.

3.  For remittance of cash  to the  S.O.s functioning  under the a/cs  jurisdiction  of  Trichy HPO, no police escort is provided, as prescribed in the  Departmental manuals.  Similar is the  way on  receiving  cash from  S.O.s  to Trichy HPO.  It is a known fact that  lakhs  of  rupees are   transmitted  to/ from  the  S.O.s  on day-to-day basis by the  poor   staff without  any police protection,  and   is carried out , only in  the interest of  Department .  This is also , because of the  pressure  applied on the staff  by the administrative authorities. 

4. Many robbery are  taken place on remittance, in the recent past and  the one  is  reported  at  Sirkali HPO and the another  at  Pondichery HPO  and  it  leads  to  CBI  and CB CID enquiries and  subsequent  court cases.

5.  Even for  getting  tenders  for  maintenance of  cycle shed,   Chidambaram town  witnessed  cold blooded murder  within political  hooligans  and  rowdy elements.

6. If such is the  scenario ,  if any  such private party  is allowed  to   maintain  the cycle shed   within  the  P.O. premises, it will  definitely leads  to  untoward incidents  on safety point of view and will allow ‘goondas’  for easy access  to the  P.O. premises.

7. Moreover, it is the  duty of the Department  to make  provisions  for keeping  the vehicles of their  staff  , maintenance of toilets,  arranging  of drinking  water facilities ,  providing fans etc. as a welfare measure and is envisaged under the  statutory rules. Anything made  against  this and fixing  any  tariff on these,  will  be a gross violation of the  Departmental norms and rules.

Hence  , our  Circle Union  requests  the PMG, CR  to intervene in this affairs immediately and to stop such  activities of the  Senior Postmaster, Trichy , and to  make way to avoid any  trade union agitation against  this  move.
A line in  reply is  much  requested.
With regards,
 SD/-

Circle  Secretary.
