A HISTORICAL BIENNIAL DIVISIONAL CONFERENCE OF AHMEDABAD CITY DIVISION HELD ON 18.11.12 AT AKHAND JYOT HALL, PALDI AHMEDABAD

As per unanimous resolution of the Circle Council Meeting dated 1-2.10.12, an ad-hoc committee was constituted for Ahmedabad City division. The Adhoc committee organised Biennial Divisional Conference on 18.11.12.It was presided over by Com.N.V.Akhani, Supreme Councillor.

There were dramatic and shocking hurdles in conduct of this meeting. At the evening of Friday 16th, The SSPO sent a letter by Email stating that the Ad-hoc Committee cannot hold any meeting as it is not approved by the Circle Office. The Circle Secretary accompanied by Ad-hoc committee members and Asst C/S immediately rushed to Hon.DPS (HQ) and represented that the Resolution dated 1.2-10-12 passed by the Circle Council meeting under relevant constitutional provision was already sent to Circle office on 6.10.12 for necessary action and if at all any approval is to be granted, it should have been granted immediately and now at the last hour of Friday, the SSPO writes to the union that it can not hold any meeting! The DPS neutrally dealt with the issue and immediately instructed the SSPO suitably and then at 18:00 p.m. the SSPO held his previous letter in abeyance and clarified that the union may hold its meeting at any venue convenient to them!

Being relaxed, the Committee started to prepare for arrangement for the biennial conference but again on Saturday 17th, a Notice of Hon. City Civil Court was served upon the Convener of the Adhoc committee and at the venue of the conference it was delivered to the Circle Secretary on 18.11.12 itself. It was ordered by the court that the Resolutions passed by the meeting dated 18.11.12 will be subject to decision of the Court. We will have to file reply on 20.11.12 at 11.00 a.m. For the purpose we had to search an advocate to deal with the case. The case has been filed by Shri.R.C.Waghela against the Circle Secretary as well as the Convener Adhoc committee. It is not appropriate to describe here details of the case. 

Com.Dinesh Solanki, Com.N.D.Patel and Com.Ravi Panikar were elected as Divisional President, Secretary and Finance Secretary by majority of the house.

We greet newly elected body and hope that all divisional leaders will concentrate in resolving problems of staff.

Sub : MACP Scheme for Railway Servants-treatment of employees selected under LDCE/GDCE - Clarification reg.
References have been received from Zonal Railways seeking clarification regarding grant of benefits under MACPS in respect of the employees qualifying through LDCE/GDCE. The matter has been examined in consultation with Department of Personnel & Training (DoP&T), the nodal department of Government on MACPS and it has been decided as under:
(i) If the relevant RRs provide for filling up of vacancies in a grade by Direct Recruitment, induction of an employee to that grade through LDCE/GDCE may be treated as Direct Recruitment for the purpose of grant of financial upgradation under MACPS. In such cases past service rendered in a lower pay scale/Grade Pay shall NOT be counted for the purpose of MACP Scheme.
(ii) if the relevant RRs prescribe a promotion Quota to be filled on the basis of LDCE/GDCE, such appointment would be treated as promotion for the purpose of benefit under the MACPS and in such cases, past regular service shall also be counted for further benefits, if any, under the MACP Scheme.
This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

ALLEGED ATROCITIES IN THE PTC MADURAI ADMINISTRATION: IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION IS REQUESTED.


No. PF-67/ 19 /2012                                                           Dated : 21st September,2012
To
            Ms. Manjula Prasher,
            Secretary,
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi-110016
Sub: Alleged atrocities in the PTC Madurai Administration: immediate   
         intervention is requested.
Madam,
            The Circle Unions of NFPE & FNPO of Tamil Nadu Circle have been continuously representing to the Chief PMG Tamil Nadu regarding limitless harassment of Trainees by the Director PTC Madurai. Despite our repeated representations no action was initiated against the arrogant attitude of PTC Madurai Administration.
Following are the samples for this undue un-desirable atmosphere.
1.         Large number of detention of trainees, extending their training period.
2.         Termination from Training Class even for small and negligible reasons.
3.         Not permitting the Trainees even to attend the death and marriage of even Blood related.
4.         Reckless issuing of dies-non.
5.         In the name of Dress code forcing the officials to wear leather shoes, Tie etc. causing enormous un-necessary expenditure even to the Trainees going for MACP Mid-career Training scheduled for 15 days.
6.     Irrespective of the age and gender, ability Trainees are forced to attend Shramdan, games Trekking etc.
7.         Trainees are for abnormal hours tight-fixed without adequate relaxation keeping the Trainees always under pressure.
            Thus the torturous atmosphere prevailing in the PTC Madurai is placing the trainees under total mental Depression.
            In the latest unfortunate incident one MACP Trainee Sri. N. Jayakumar, PA, Chennai City North Division has committed suicide on 19.09.2012 at the training centre, though the reasons may not be directly attributed as detailed above but it is definite that the present worst treatment meted out the trainees also contributing to these kinds of incidents.
`           Hence we request you to immediately intervene in this matter and take appropriate action against the Director PTC, Madurai. In our opinion peaceful atmosphere cannot be restored as long as the present Director continues at PTC Madurai.
Awaiting early favourable action.
With regards,
Yours faithfully,
(M. Krishnan)
