Lr to PMG, CCR on Casual Labour/Outsiders Issue

Outsiders case of Anna Road H.O. taken up by our Secretary General Shri. D. Theagarajan

FEDERATION OF NATIONAL POSTAL ORGANISATIONS T-24, Atul Grove Road, New Delhi - 110 001.

Ref : 9/NAPE C/102/2016 Date : 25-1-2016

Dr. Charles Lobo 

The Chief PMG 

Tamilnadu Circle 

Chennai 600 002 

Sir, 

Sub : Unfair treatment to the staff by the Tamilnadu Circle administration - Regarding. My union constrains to write this letter to you. Under the pretext of Department’s interest, your subordinate officers in the Circle office are giving untold suffereings and much ill-treatment to the staff. The staff unions are not given its due recognition by officers working in your Circle office except yourself.

 I can point out many number of issues in this regard. You are aware that after computerisation in Post offices, how the staff are suffering. You are also aware how the MNOP system created double work in RMS offices. There is no need to express the sufferings of MMS drivers/staff. No one is peaceful in the last few years in our Department account of changing scenerio.

 It is necessary that we have to accept changes in work places for our survival in the era of cut-throat competition. But at the same time the employees are expecting humanitarian approach from the officers. 

You are aware during the recent flood in Tamilnadu, the multi-national companies granted extraordinary incentives and perquisites to their employees in order to keep up their morale. But it is upside down in our Department. Even Flood Advance which is due for employees is not granted yet, though the Prime Minister and state Chief Minister have announced that four Districts of Tamilnadu were badly affected due to flood. Forget about flood advance. In regard to Supervisor’s posting, for every posting your office is adopting different yardsticks in the name of departmental interests. It is not interest. It is nothing but cruel meted out to the staff. 

Officials who have performed more than 34 years of service are denied their legitimate choice. It is not fair on the part of the Circle administration. 

In Many post offices, OS who have rendered more than 20 years of service were recently sent out (Anna Road) mercilessly. 

The above issues are only a tip of an iceberg. Again I wish to state that we are not against the changes in the Department. We are not against the improvements taking place in the Department. We are not against the Postal business. We are not against the new products. But we are against the ill-treatment on our staff by your subordinate officers working in your circle office. 

My Federation as a first step is sending this letter explaining the mental agony of the staff with the hope that you will find a lasting solution to end the ill-treatment to the staff. 

Thanking you,

Yours fraternally,

(D. THEAGARAJAN)

Constitution of Empowered Committee for 7th CPC

Constitution of Empowered Committee of Secretaries for processing the Report of the Seventh Central Pay Commission

 

Empowered Committee On 7th CPC May Recommend Increase In Salary Of Junior And Mid Level Employees

New Delhi: Central government employees’ pay bill are unlikely to get increased salary from April under the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations, as the central government might delay the hike by six months to evaluate the actual needs of employees, said finance ministry officials.

The economists advised the government to measure the possible impact of the salary increase on next year’s budget before implementing it, they said.

The Empowered Committee of Secretaries led by Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha may recommend raising salary of junior and middle level employees as employees associations are pressing hard for it.

The committee will submit its report to the finance minister after reviewing the commission’s suggestions, and holding discussions with government high-ups.

Wishing anonymity, a finance ministry official said the government would see whether there would be any wastage of public money in paying increased salary and allowances or any new conditions can be imposed in line with the recommendations of the Pay Commission.

The empowered committee would place a proposal before the cabinet after budget for delaying the implementation of increased salary of Central government employees, said the officials.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley while introducing the Seventh Pay Commission report on November 19 said that the final decisions on the Seventh Pay Commission report took five and a half months.

The Seventh Pay Commission award bill is about Rs 1,02,000 crore, according to the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley that can be afforded.

A pay commission reviews the pay of government employees every 10 years and its recommendations are usually accepted with some modifications.

The Seventh Pay Commission was set up by the UPA government in February 2014, The Commission headed by Justice A K Mathur submitted its 900-page final report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on November 19, recommending 23.55 per cent hike in salaries and allowances of Central government employees and pensioners.

The panel recommended a 14.27 per cent increase in basic pay, the lowest in 70 years. The previous Sixth Pay Commission had recommended a 20 per cent hike, which the government doubled while implementing it in 2008.

The Seventh pay commission recommended fixing the highest basic salary at Rs 250,000 and the lowest at Rs 18,000 and its increased the pay gap between the minimum and maximum from existing 1:12 to 1: 13.8

The Seventh Pay Commission suggested to discontinue the practice of appointing pay commissions in future.

Secretary General's Appeal to all Secretaries.

ATTENTION TO ALL CIRCLE / DIVISIONAL / BRANCH SECRETARIES OF FNPO AFFILIATED UNIONS. Rival Federation had given direction to all their office bearers to project the sanctioned strength in the verification process instead of working strength indirectly. In the first step they made maximum dual membership in the verification process at Divisional / Branch level, but their plan was not succeeded and now they came up with another plan openly to project sanctioned strength to pave way to reduce the percentage of FNPO affiliated unions. Our Federation requests all the Circle Secretaries to meet the SR Branch of your Circle and make it clear that your circle is projecting only working strength not sanctioned strength to the Directorate in the Annexure IV.

Secret Files of Netaji Declassified.

100 Secret Files Relating To Netaji Subhash Bose Declassified, May Unveil Facts About His Controversial Death

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today made public digital copies of 100 secret files relating to Subhash Chandra Bose on his 119th birth anniversary, which could throw some light on the controversy over his death.The files were declassified and put on digital display at the National Archives of India (NAI) here by the Prime Minister, who pressed a button in the presence of Bose family members and Union Ministers Mahesh Sharma and Babul Supriyo. PM Modi declassifying digital version of the files |
Later, Modi and his ministerial colleagues went around glancing at the declassified files, spending over half an hour at the National Archives. He also spoke to the members of the Bose family.
The NAI also plans to release digital copies of 25 declassified files on Bose in the public domain every month. In October last year, the Prime Minister had met the family members of Netaji and announced that the government would declassify the files relating to the leader whose disappearance 70 years ago remains a mystery.
While two commissions of inquiry had concluded that Netaji had died in a plane crash in Taipei on August 18, 1945, a third probe panel, headed by Justice M K Mukherjee, had contested it and suggested that Bose was alive after that.
The controversy had also split members of the Bose family too. The first lot of 33 files were declassified by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and handed over to the NAI on December 4, last year.
Subsequently, the Ministries of Home Affairs and External Affairs too initiated the process of declassification of files relating to Bose in their respective collection which were then transferred over to the NAI, it added.
In his reaction to the declassification, Chandra Kumar Bose, spokesperson of the Bose family and grand-nephew of Subhash Chandra Bose said, "We welcome this step by Prime Minister wholeheartedly. This is a day of transparency in India."
Earlier in day, he told PTI, "We feel that certain very important files were destroyed during the Congress regime in order to hide the truth. We have documentary evidence to understand this. So we feel that the Indian government should take steps to ensure the release of files lying in Russia, Germany, UK, USA
