Sub : Repatriation of PS Gr. B officers to Home Circle – Reg.

Ref.  : Directorate file No. 9-11/2013-SPG  Dt. 15.02.2013

Respected Madam,

          This Association would like to bring to your kind notice that Directorate vide memo No. 9-23/2012-SPG dated 28/12/2012 has issued promotion and postings in Postal Service Group “B” cadre for the vacancy year 2012-13 for 210 officers and again unexpectedly list of 6 officers was issued on 5/3/2013. It may be seen from file at Directorate that, this Association had issued series of letters for timely convening of DPC for the promotion to PS Gr. B cadre but every year DPC for promotion to PS Gr. B cadre was delayed for one or other reasons thereby effecting efficiency of the department.

Directorate while sensing worsening position of PS Group ‘B’ cadre in Punjab and Karnataka and to cope up with the shortage problem, favourably issued repatriation/re-allotment orders of some of the PS Group “B” officers against future vacancies arising upto 31/3/2013. During the course of informal meeting with Hon’ble Secretary (Posts) on 6/2/2013 this vital and appreciable issue was discussed in detail citing the worsening position of Tamil Nadu circle occurred due to enblock promotion in PS Group “B” through LDCE. It was assured by your honour that the officers who have completed one year service will be repatriated to their home circle against the existing vacancies. Despite bringing this fact to the notice of Directorate vide letter of even number dated 1/3/2013, nothing has been heard till date what to say of repatriation before completing one year.

Madam, you will agree that a large number of STS/JTS vacancies are lying vacant in Circles since long and PS Group “B” officers are officiating against these posts creating resultant vacancies in Group “B” in circles and imbalance thereof upto ASP/IP level affecting timely promotion in each cadre. Only repatriation can minimise the imbalance occurring in the circles and bring respite to the affected persons. It is pertinent to mention here that hitherto General line officials promoted through LDCE have been given same Circle for the last two years ignoring the right of IP Cadre promotees who always have had acted as a part of Administration shouldering the responsibilities for implementation of Govt policies and discharged them at all cost. Punjab and Andhra Pradesh Circle are set examples of this discrimination. Resultantly, immense hard work of 25 years in IP Cadre could not bring any solace in one’s career progression and our members are left to join at a distant place or forced through backdoor to give refusals and to work in IP/ASP cadre only. In this way, discrimination has been handed over to our members being no fault of them.

It is understood that Directorate vide letter No. 9-11/2013-SPG dated 15.02.2013 had issued directions to circles for completion of joining process of promotion ordered by targeted date 28.12.2012 and submission of vacancy reports by 8/3/2013. The exercise has since been completed now. It is therefore once again requested to kindly look into this matter sympathetically and cause issue of repatriation orders at the earliest.
         
With seasonal greetings,
Yours sincerely,

No. GS/IPASP/Mail-Overseer/KL/2013                                      dated  26/3/2013

Sub: Withdrawing Mail Overseers from Sub Divisions by PMG Central Region   
        Kochi. 

Respected Madam,

          Circle Secretary of IPASP Association Kerala branch has informed that PMG Central Region Kochi (Kerala) have issued unilateral orders for withdrawal of Mail Overseers from various Sub Divisions on the plea that they are to be used for improving delivery. As per information available one MO each has been withdrawn from Cherthala, Kayamkulam, Thrissur and Changanassery Sub Divisions and both Mail Overseers have been withdrawn from Tripunithura, Kochi and Ernakulam Sub Divisions.

          This Association would like to bring your kind notice that the duties of Mail Overseers are broadly elaborated in Rule 343 to 355 of Postal Manual Vol. VIII and according to that only the post of mail Overseers are attached to Sub Divisions. You would be agree that, now a day’s work load of Mail Overseers has indeed increased manifold consequent upon introduction of RPLI / MGNREGS / Opening of new Savings accounts in BOs / Sale of BD products and escort of cash remittance for quick payment of MGNERGS etc.

Besides, Mail Overseers are also allotted quarterly verification work to curb frauds etc. Withdrawal of Mail Overseers from Sub Divisions would means giving open invitation to frauds at B.O. level. But PMG Central Region Kochi has taken unilateral decision at his own level and withdrawn the post of Mail Overseers from Sub Divisions that too without going through the veracity of events and carrying our any review.

             It is therefore requested to your kind honour to intervene in the matter and issue instructions to PMG Central Region Kochi to restore the orders of withdrawal of Mail Overseers from Sub Divisions immediately else our members should not be held responsible for any act of misdeed on the part of GDSs.    

            Thanking You,
                                                                                                        Yours faithfully,

                                                                                                                          Sd/
