Regarding request for repatriation of PS Group 'B' officers & down gradation of Group 'A' posts.

No. CHQ/IPASP/PS-Gr.B/Repatriation/2013                               Dated : 25/5/2013

To,

Ms. P. Gopinath,
Secretary, 
Department of Post,

New Delhi-110001.

Subject: Request for repatriation of PS Group B officers.

Respected Madam,

Madam, Department of Post under your dynamic leadership is very eagerly and keenly transforming all the Post Offices into a vital network capable of serving the customer with all sophisticated services. Your kind honour policy decisions relating to core banking beside others are being faithfully implemented in the field by key level managers’ i.e IP/ASP or S/SPOs.            

But at the same time department is not moderately solving problems of the cadre. There is acute shortage of IP/ASP/JTS/STS manpower in almost all the Postal Circle and every cadre man is overburdened. This is adversely effecting the implementations of many upcoming projects in Department of Posts. In many Circles upto 80% of Group “A” post are lying vacant and PS Group “B” officers are officiating against these posts constantly for several years creating resultant vacancies in Group “B” and imbalances upto IP/ASPs level. Apparently, shortage of head of the Divisions is being ignored altogether. Whereas IPoS officers are being given convenient postings even on adjusting them at leave vacancies. There is no reason that our cadreman may not be adjusted by downgrading JTS/STS post particularly when they have more convincing grounds. 

 It is therefore fervently requested to your kind honour to restore the lost ground of Circles by ordering to repatriate all Group “B” officers to their parent Circles, post them on vacant posts of Group “A” cadre by downgrading these to Group ‘B’ posts temporarily till eligible Group A officers are not made available so that they can function as effectively as ever and take active part in the process of quick transformation.    

Favourable action is requested.

Yours sincerely,

Subject : Supply of Laptops to Assistant Manager, MMS.

Respected Madam,     

        It is understood that Department is going to install GPRS system in each postal van for monitoring the movement of mail vans. As per standing instruction of the department Assistant Manager MMS are presently monitoring the movement of mail vans in MMS depot where Manager MMS has not been posted though there is full justification of one Manager on a fleet of 10 vehicles. In the absence of technological tools such as Laptop and data cards, our staff is facing difficulties to monitor the job assigned to them. 

        This Association therefore requested your kind honour to supply a laptop with internet data card or broadband connection to all Assistant Managers MMS for monitoring the postal mail vans movement in the jurisdiction of MMS network. 

                  Hoping for favourable action and line in reply.  

                  With warm regards,                                     

                                  Yours sincerely,

Regarding non maintaining uniformity by Circles in making Adhoc Promotion of ASPs to PS Gr. B Cadre.

No. CHQ/IPASP/PS-Gr.B/Assam-1/2013                           Dated : 25/5/2013 

To,

Ms. P. Gopinath,
Secretary, 
Department of Post,
Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg, 
New Delhi-110001.

Subject: Regarding non maintaining uniformity by Circles in making Adhoc Promotion of ASPs to PS Gr. B Cadre.

Respected Madam,

Your kind attention is invited to this office letter of even number dated 22/4/2013 wherein wrong methodology being adopted by circles while resorting to ad-hoc arrangement that too with total disregard to the statutory provisions was visualised. It was also brought to the notice of Directorate  that as per the provisions made in DOP&T’s O.M. No.28036/8/87-Estt.(D) dated 30.03.1988 read with O.M. No.28036 /1/2001- Estt.(D) dated 23.07.2001,promotions/ appointments on ad-hoc basis are to be resorted to a post which cannot be kept vacant in consideration of its functional/operational requirement.

 Madam, you will agree that as a  rule,  a  junior  should  not  be  promoted,  ignoring  his  senior  unless  the  competent  authority  ordering  the  ad-hoc  promotion,  considers  him  unsuitable.  But in Assam Circle two juniors to Shri Ganesh Kumar Sarmah, ASP (HQ), Tezpur Division are still working on ad-hoc basis in PS Gr. B cadre despite pointing out of the same by this Association. It means that inter-se-seniority has not been taken in to consideration while making the ad-hoc arrangements in PS Gr. B cadre.

            This Association therefore once again requested your honour to issue instructions to CPMG Assam Circle to post, officers in PS Gr. B cadre keeping in view  DOP&T guidelines  and as per the inter-se-seniority cum fitness immediately.         

            An early action and line in reply is requested. 

 Yours sincerely, 

Sd/-
