DECISIONS OF SPO MAHESANA REVERSED BASED ON REPRESENTATION BY DIVISIONAL UNION THROUTH CIRCLE UNION
Certain orders were issued by the SPO Mahesana beyond rules and provisions of the department and a representation was made by the Divisional Union to the Circle union as earlier discussed in this blog. When the SPO is under order of reversion, he should not have issued any order without approval of higher authority. Representation was forwarded to the DPS (HQ) Ahmedabad and then Com. K.B.Barot Ex. C/S and Com. P.S.Patel Divisional President personally met DPS (HQ) and made strong representation. Ultimately the all such orders issued by the then SPO Mahesana have been canceled.
Comrades, we have no personal bias to any individual who may have even been a member of other union but it is very important to see that the officers vested with powers must utilize it impartially, judiciously and must not ignore voice of AIPE Union in genuine cases. In this case, some of the officials might have got some trouble but friends, we are very sorry with a clarification that our intention was not for creating harassment to anyone. We aim to a system, where only judicious decisions are taken.

So far the item regarding problems on account of old systems, nonworking printers, want of AMC/Licensed version of anti virus, non condemnation of outdated hardware etc concerns, the administration side has assured that if any detail given for any particular office, the problem will be settled. If any office is having acute problem about functioning of computer systems and the same is not settled at Divisional level, it is requested to bring to the notice of the Circle union for representation at appropriate level. It is also noticeable that in reply to item regarding provision of fuel expense to System Administrators for local journey, it is replied that the concerned official has to obtain pre or post facto approval of their tour program or projected movement, for reimbursement of fuel expenses as demanded. All S.A.s are requested to get the reimbursement as per this reply by the Circle Administration and if any problem persists, C/S should be consulted. Many members may not be knowing that the number of items to be taken in Four Monthly meeting is restricted to three for each union and therefore we have to write letters on most of the items. However, it is in your hand to keep Circle union running and striving for settlement of various types of problems at divisional level which normally remain unsettled due to communication gap. Circle Administration is also quite affirmative on justified matters but if we expect settlement we have to put up our problems in proper manner i.e. accurate details and feedback before them.

SPECIAL MEETING WITH HON.PMG ON AMRELI ISSUE
Amreli issue discussed earlier in this corner is not mere struggle against any individual Postmaster or other incumbent. It is a case of real scenario emerging as a result of undue pressure for showing glittering performance in Arrow Project offices in particular. Com.K.B.Barot Ex. C/S also remained present with Com.Rashmin Purohit C/S in the Special meeting. on 01.02.11 at the office of Hon.P.M.G Vadodara. Shri.S.T.Teraiya Circle President P.IV and Org.G/S (CHQ), Shri.M.P.Mangrolia D/S AIPEU P.III, K.A.Kanada President PIII, Shri. Gondia D/S P.IV, B.K.Trivedi D/S NUPE, A.J.Pandya President NUPE were also present.
It was discussed with Hon.PMG that it is quite irregular to suppress subordinate staff to pass wrong remarks on undelivered articles or unpaid EMOs just with an intention to show good performance. It was also explained that forcing to make fictitious signature of addressees is also a serious irregularity.
It was very much stimulating to hear words from Hon PMG who said that in any case, we must insist that we reach at the destination of the addressee but it is not at all practicable to expect all of them to be present or receiving their articles. There is nothing wrong if, after all efforts, any article remains undelivered because of genuine reasons.
It is expected that Amreli issue will be settled soon.
We would like to see a circular from R.O. containing instructions to Postmasters and off course, Divisional heads to ensure harmony and exchange of sweet dialogues in the office for any instructions to subordinate staff and to avoid vicious approach.
