No.Agenda/Bimonthly/HQ/2013                                                                 Dated August 01, 2013

To,                                                                                                                                         
The Director of Postal Services (H.Q.)
Office of The Chief Postmaster General
Gujarat Circle, Ahmedabad 380 001

Subject: Agenda for next Bi-monthly meeting of HQ region.

Respected sir,
The items to be taken on agenda for discussion in the next bimonthly meeting are as under:

Item No.1.
REQUEST FOR REPLACEMENT OF OLD COMPUTERS/PRINTERS IN POST OFFICES

It has been a common complaint that computers are not functioning properly and particularly there is big uproar about printers. The software of department does not befit old systems with 256 or 512 RAM and up gradation of RAM is not compatible with motherboard of these systems. For example, I had to stand as a customer in front of SB Counter of Girdharnagar for 30 minutes on account of very slow process in computer. At Paldi PO the line printer is not working and it causes too much delay in preparation of register delivery slips etc and postman staff has to stay idle for long time. Similar situation prevails in most of offices. On discussion with SSP Ahd city dn., it was responded that he takes up matters with the C.O. but it demands details/History sheet and in most of the offices, History sheets of these equipments has not been prepared. In our opinion, customers have no concern with our history sheets etc. Instructions may   be issued to prepare history sheet citing at least year of supply. Inspecting officers can also make a survey of history sheets of computers/printers in the offices under their jurisdiction. In any case, it is urged to find out some way out of this situation to condemn old computers/printers and initiate action for its replacement by new one.

Item No.2
REQUEST FOR NOT EXTENDING TRADE UNION FECILITIES OR ENTERTAINING ANY CORRESPONDENCE WITH UNRECOGNISED UNIONS

As per Directorate instructions, the Government is not supposed to enter into correspondence with unrecognized Unions/Associations nor copies of their correspondence should be forwarded to any subordinate units for action etc. We observed violation of such instructions while dealing with correspondence by BPEU Ahmedabad city division. Their list of office bearers was also circulated. On our objection it was informed that it has been done as per directives of the Circle Office. It has also been noticed that office bearers of unrecognized union/associations are included as member in Sports Board, Walfare board etc functionaries at par with recognized unions. Corrective steps may be taken in this regards.

Item No.3
REQUEST FOR CAUSING DECISION OF LONG PENDING LEAVE CASES OF CIRCLE SECRETARY BY SP PSD AND CSD.

There are several periods of official tour, attendance in inquiry proceedings, attending union meetings with administration which has been undecided. This was done on account of bias of Manager PSD. Several letters have been written to C.O. also but no action has been taken. It came to our notice that service book has not been filled up. Surprisingly, arrear on account of one increment in pre revised scale w.e.f. 1.1.06 has not been drawn till this date due to undecided periods. Huge amount is delayed. Long period of 246 days has been shown as DIES NON in last audit Para though there is already a leave memo of the same period granting EOL on MC is pasted on service book itself. Letter written to SP PSD is enclosed. It is requested to instruct SP PSD and SP CSD to complete service book and decide all cases as per their privilege and authority. There is no purpose of lingering it. Copy of my letter is enclosed.

Item No.4
REQUEST FOR POSTING BACK STAFF OF AHMEDABAD GPO WHO WERE TRANSFERRED TO OTHER DIVISIONS UNDER RULE 37 CONSEQUENT UPON INITIATION OF DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH FRAUD CASE.

So many staff members were shifted to other divisions pending disciplinary proceedings consequent upon a fraud case. It was assured that the staff will be taken back after completion of inquiry. It is urged to take them back to Ahmedabad GPO.

Item No.5
POSTING OF WILLING OFFICIALA FROM NEIGHBOURING DIVISIONS AND NOT ONLY FROM AHMEDABAD CITY DIVISION

As per Directorate No.12-5/89-UPE dated 19.6.89 the operative staff of the PSD has to be drawn from the willing officials of the neighboring divisions and rotated periodically. Presently willingness from only Ahmedabad City division is being called for. It is requested to include Ahmedabad GPO and Gandhinagar (Being twin city) at par with City division.

Item No.6
PROVISION OF SAFE DRINKING WATER AND OTHER FACILITIES AT CIRCLE BAG OFFICE AHMEDABAD

There is no clean water facility at CBO Ahmedabad. Water container at @ Rs.40/- is being purchased from pocket of staff per day. SP PSD may be advised to approve the expenditure or make arrangement of safe and cold drinking water. The cement floor of the building remains boisterous and staff has to sit besides muddy and dusty bags which may have so many bacteria and virus. It is required to separate seating portion by a partisan. Floor is required to be maintained and tiles of good quality is required to be placed on hygienic point of view as well as for proper preservation of bags etc.

Item No.7
ACTUAL SHIFTING OF  STAFF ON COMPLETION OF TENURE AT ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES

Previously letters were written regarding continuance of particular staff at divisional office at Patan. No action has been taken. It is requested to issue a general instruction to physically shift the staff from administrative offices on completion of tenure. In several cases transfers are done only on paper and same persons work for years together. In many cases same staff is taken on deputation. It is requested to instruct all heads of unit to avoid such practice and terminate deputation arrangements.

It is understood that we can take only three items for one meeting but if the meeting is delayed, few more items may also be allowed. Remaining items may be kept in queue for next meetings.

Following office bearer will attend the meeting:

S.K.Vaishnav              President AIPE Union Group ‘C’                    PA Gondal HO

With regards,
