AGENDA SUBMITTED FOR NEXT RJCM MEETING GUJARAT CIRCLE


Item No.1
REPLACEMENT OF OLD COMPUTERS/PRINTERS AND PROVISION OF ADEQUATE BATTERY BACK UP AT POST OFFICES
There are so many complaints received from various offices with regard to non working of Computers/Printers and battery backups. It also came to our notice that divisional units are not condemning PCs/Printers which are unserviceable, beyond repairs and completed life period minimum 8 eight years. The difficulty is mostly because of non availability of History sheets due to diversion of computer hardware and peripherals. It is requested to look into in the matter.

Item No.2
ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF COMPUTER PAPERS TO ALL POST OFFICES.

It is requested to ensure that adequate quantity of computer papers are supplied to all offices. At present there is hue and cry at every office against difficulty in getting computer papers. Duplicate paper is not supplied at all. Staff side also desires to know actual present position of availability of funds and stage of Tender process for procurement of Computer stationary.

Item No.3

TIMELY SUPPLY OF UNIFORMS TO ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES
Uniforms have not been supplied since more then last four years. It is requested to ensure timely indent, procurement and supply of uniforms to eligible Postal and RMS employees.

Item No.4
HOLDING MEETINGS, MELAS AND TRAININGS ON SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS

Divisional Heads are issuing orders for meetings, melas and trainings on Sundays/Holidays as a routine ignoring instructions of the Directorate in the matter. Staff side requests to avoid placing burden and stress upon employees and let them enjoy Sundays/Holidays with their families.




Item No.5
FINALIZATION OF PROPOSALS FOR DEQUARTERISATION OF UNRESIDABLE QUARTERS AT VARIOUS POST OFFICES AT VALSAD, BARDOLI, KHEDA AND VADODARA DIVISIONS

It has been replied at R.O.Vadodara that proposals for dequarterisation of various Pos has been sent to C.O.  and action is pending. Staff side urges early action in the matter.

Item No.6
REQUEST TO PREVENT DIVISIONAL HEADS FOR FORCING EMPLOYEES FOR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS AND OPENING NUMBER OF ACCOUNTS OF SMALL AMOUNT
Staff side feels panic when the Divisional Heads force employees for purchase of various products. Under pressure of selling various products like Flat rate boxes, they purchase themselves and make a show of business. GDS employees are similarly forced to take RPLI policies and that too by making pieces of one policy. Employees are forced to open number of accounts of small amounts to show fake achievement of targets set by higher officers. Such a bewildering theory of achievement of targets is not advantageous to any side. It is requested to please see that feasible targets are set and there is an encouraging atmosphere in which employees work hard to achieve them. 
Item No.7
PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE TO POSTAL STAFF OUT OF COMMISSION EARNED UNDER BUSINESS PACKAGE OF PASSPORT APPLICATION FORMS
No incentive has been paid to postal staff for the work attended by them for Passport Application Form under business package in which the department earned commission, staff performing additional work could be compensated upto 25% of the additional revenue earned from such business tie-ups as laid down in DG (P) No.16-16/2007-08/BD&MD/P.II dated 13-12-2007. Staff side urges for compensation to staff as admissible.
Item No.8
TIMELY HOLDING OF MEETINGS WITH UNIONS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS
No formal meetings at various levels are held within prescribed time limit. There is unconvincing delay in holding bimonthly meetings and issue of minutes at Rajkot region. Gap of so many months in holding bimonthly meeting at HQ region and Four monthly as well as RJCM meetings creates ill impression amongst staff side. It is requested to maintain calendar of union meetings to be held and ensure timely holding of all such meetings.
Item No.9
DISCONTINUANCE OF DELIVERY OF SPEEDPOST ON HOLIDAYS AT AHMEDABAD CITY DIVISION AND GPO
Only at Ahmedabad City division and GPO staff is called for work relating to delivery of Speed Post articles on Holidays. This is done only at this two units. It is requested to discontinue this practice.
Item No.9
DECLARATION OF NEW YEAR DAY FOLLOWING DIWALI AS CLOSED HOLIDAY IN GUJARAT CIRCLE.
Staff side urges for taking up matter in concerned co ordination committee for declaration of New year day as optional Holiday in Gujarat Circle. The new year day is always declared as a closed holiday by the state government.
Item No.10
IRREGULAR ALLOTMENT OF OFFICIALS PROMOTED IN HSG-II CADRE TO DIVISIONAL UNITS.
This time officials promoted in HSG-II cadre has been allotted directly to Divisional units in RMS, though it is a Circle level post and orders of posting are required to be issued by the concerned DPS. Please look in to the matter.
Item No.11
ATTENDING URGENT BUILDING PROBLEMS IN POSTAL AND RMS WINGS
Bhuj Sorting building collapsed in Earth Quake in 2001 and it is required to take up on priority basis for reconstruction.
Shihor rented PO building in Bhavnagar division is totally in worst condition and proposal for repairs/renovation submitted by the landlord are pending at regional level since long.
Item No.12
ALLOTMENT OF ADEQUATE FUND TO UNITS FOR SANCTION OF M.R.CLAIMS AND ADVANCES
Staff side requests to consider that huge number of MR Claims are pending at all units for want of funds. It is required to allot adequate funds for sanction of pending and regular claims.
Item No.13
REPOSTING OF OFFICIALS TRANSFERRED FROM AHMEDABAD GPO UNDER RULE 37 OF P&T MANUAL VOLUME-IV
Several Officials have been transferred at distant divisions from Ahmedabad GPO under Rule 37, off course, following a fraud case. Staff side does not intend to interfere any process in connection with investigation but urges to consider that all disciplinary proceedings are also over and employees are undergoing punishments of recoveries. Families of employees are under acute pressure due to transfers at distant places and recoveries of amounts. Such action of transfer under rule 37 is quite exceptionally severe. Staff side urges to take them back to parent office or other twin cities.
