DPS, SR Lr to all IPs / ASPs

Copy of Lr No. DPS / misc / 09 Dt. 09.01.10 of DPS, O/o PMG, SR, Madurai addressed to all SSPOs / SPOs & all Sub Divisional heads in SR is reproduced below.

It has been brought to my notice that some IPs / ASPs who have been given duties of attending to senior officers programs on tour, inspection etc turn up in a drunken condition. Some other officials who are facing disciplinary action also have been noticed in drunken condition when they approach the disciplinary authorities.

Attention of all is drawn to Rule 22 of CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964 an extract of which is enclosed. As per GoI instructions, violations of this Rule will constitute a good & sufficient reasons for taking disciplinary action.

OUR UNION LETTER TO DPS IS REPRODUCED BELOW.

No. TN/AIAIPASP/SR 13.01.2010
To
The Postmaster-General,
Southern Region,
Madurai 625 002.

Respected Sir,
Sub: Harassment of IPs/ASPs in Southern Region-Regarding
Ref: Director, O/O PMG, Southern Region, Madurai letter No.DPS/Misc/09 dated 09.01.2010

It is strange to notice that such kind of letter as referred to above(a copy of which is enclosed for ready reference) was issued by the Director, Southern Region, Madurai stipulating motives and sweeping charges against our cadre only.

All are aware that there is no total prohibition in Tamilnadu and consuming liquor is not a sin or crime as per the belief of people who consume drinks. Some consumes it as medicine prescribed by the doctor and others for their pleasure. This is the universal procedure accepted by everyone as this is the case pointing out a particular cadre for commitment of this act and generalizing and accusing as if all IPs and ASPs in Southern Region are habituated to this practice. This view strongly hurts the sentiments of our cadre. Instead of taking action against the erring official, sending such kind of common circular deserves strong condemnation. Such kind of sweeping accusation against a particular cadre shows biased mind of the administration against this cadre. This kind of act will in no way enhance the dignity of administration but only demoralize the cadre and lose hope of protecting the sincere and loyal workers. This Association strongly condemns the attitude of the administration and request to withdraw the said letter immediately. If no positive action is taken, the regional administration cannot expect any cooperation from our members in future and the Association will be forced to take-up the appropriate trade union action.

Thanking you sir,

With profound regards,
Yours faithfully,

/K. Ezhil/
Circle Secretary

OUR GS LETTER TO Chief PMG, TN IS REPRODUCED BELOW.

ALL INDIA ASSOCIATION OF
INSPECTORS AND ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS POSTS
CHQ: No.CHQ/IASP/01 date: 18th January 2010

To
Shri. S.K.Chakrabarti
The Chief Postmaster General
Tamilnadu Circle,
Chennai 600002

Sir,
I request you to kindly go through the attached communication No.DPS/Misc/09 dated 09.01.2010 issued by DPS, Southern Region, Madurai to all Divisional/Sub Divisional Heads in Southern Region.

All IPs and ASPs feel that it is a direct assault on the cadre of Inspectors and Assistant Superintendent Posts and only reveals the mind of the author to belittle the cadre before the operative staff rather than find solution to unhealthy situations through reformative process. The cadre of Inspector Posts, known for its knowledge of rules and regulations, knows very well the meaning of Rule 22 of CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964 and its implications.

The all pervading retail “Arrack shops” run by TASMAC is a menace not only to the Department but also the family dependent on the official. If any higher officer regularly visits any Post Office, he would understand the practical situations and how the officers at supervisory level struggle to maintain command and control over field staff.

It would not be out of place to mention here that there are several officers in JAG and SAG level in Department of Posts who share their evenings and rest hours with IMFL in the company of IPs and ASPs, the cost of such entertainment being borne by the respective IPs and ASPs. Sometimes, IP/ASPs are forced to supply liquor to higher officers. We also hear that the DPS, Southern Region demands especially non-vegetarian food from Divisional heads and IPs and ASPs for himself and also for those accompanying him. This Association believes that it would be wrong to generalize such individual acts and we have therefore refrained from taking any steps to high light such individual aberrations.

-2-
The present circular casts a slur on the image on the cadre. Tamilnadu is the only Circle where large number of women have chosen to serve as Inspectors and there can be no doubt that these Inspectors and ASPs command good respect and support from field staff. By generalizing an individual act, an attempt is being made to malign the character of the entire cadre. More particularly,as it applies to women IPs and ASPs also, it tantamounts to direct sexual harassment of women IPs and ASPs in the strict sense of the term. .

The IPs and ASPs in Southern Region are being ill treated by the DPS, Southern Region by compelling them to perform odd jobs and indirect favours unconnected with the official work. We learn that he is forcing IPs/ASPs to do his personal work and also the personal work of his relatives/friends visiting Tamilnadu on sight-seeing trip. The Inspection vehicles of Divisions are forcibly misused by him and his visiting friends and relatives. The IQs/Holiday Homes in the Region meant for officers and staff of Department are always reserved for his friends/relatives.

The circular, obviously issued to malign the cadre has totally demoralized the entire cadre. This is the only cadre which works hard, day and night without proper infrastructure and supporting staff. IPs and ASPs do not sit in A/C comfort and enjoy higher pay and perks. Even legitimate grade pay is being denied to this cadre. While all other Departments have settled the anomalies, the Department of Posts is yet to study the anomalies relating to this cadre. Still the IPs and ASPs are putting in their best. The circular is therefore provocative in nature, obviously done to derive undue benefits under duress.

This Association does always believe in maintaining good relationship with administration. A solitary act has to be dealt with as such and generalization is bound to have a deleterious effect and harm the good relationship with the Administration. The IPs and ASPs are bound to be looked down upon by such uncharitable generalized observations. This Association therefore demands that this objectionable circular should be withdrawn immediately in the interest of the entire cadre and also the administration at Divisional level. This alone would pave way for assuaging the hurt feelings of this cadre and reassure them to give their best even in adverse situations. We believe that the Circle Administration would do the needful.

Yours sincerely,
(S.Samuel)
General Secretary

IP Grade Pay

news from our GS e mail.

General Secretary was invited for holding discussion on the issue of revision of Grade Pay to IPs from Rs. 4200/- to Rs.4600/- . General Secretary along with Shri S.Ravi CHQ Treasurer and Shri Hari Prasad, former Circle Secretary, Rajasthan Circle participated in the discussion on 04.01.2010. Shri A.K.Sharma DDG (Est) and Shri Rameshwar Rao ADG (Est) represented the Department.

It was argued by the Dept. that IPs were not on the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 1.1.2006. But it was rebutted and made it clear by us that IPs were on Rs.6500/- as on 1.1.2006. Their pay scale was revised, pay fixation done and arrears also drawn as on 1.1.2006. Hence IPs are eligible for revision of Grade Pay as per the orders of MoF memo. Dt. 13.11.2009. It was accepted by the Dept.

Then it was stressed by the Dept. that as per the orders of MoF memo. Dt 13.11.2009 the post of IP and ASP should be merged. Also the Dept. putforth an alternative suggestion of merger of ASP with P.S.Gr. “B”. But we strongly objected to it. We argued that there are only 2 categories in this cadre and if these two posts are merged then our promotional avenue will be closed for ever. Further ASP is a Gazetted cadre which cannot be merged with non-gazetted post of IP which amount to de-promotion. At present an IP will get his promotion to ASP after 10 years of service in IP cadre. Then he has to wait for another 18 years as ASP to get his promotion to P.S. Gr. “B”. If merger is accepted an IP has to wait for a minimum of 25 years to get his next promotion to P.S. Gr. “B”. In other cadres there are so many stages for promotion and they enjoy the benefit of increment in every stage. Such opportunity should be available for IPs also. At present an IP hardly reach P.S. Gr “B”. Many of us retire as ASP only. A few people reach P.S. Gr. “B”. That too they retire before getting non-functional Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/-. Hence it is not acceptable the merger proposal which is detrimental to our promotion. The Dept. side was then convinced and agreed to our following demands.

1. Upgradation of Grade Pay of IP from Rs.4200/- to Rs. 4600/-.
2. Upgradation of Grade Pay ofASP from Rs.4600/- to Rs. 4800/-.
3. Upgradation of Grade Pay of PS Gr. “B” from Rs.4800/- to Rs. 5400

With these recommendations the file is moving to MoF for concurrence. I also met Secretary (Posts) and Member (P) on 04.01.2010 and discussed the issue and they are in favour of us. The progress is being closely monitored.

S.Samuel, General Secretary.

IP Grade Pay

my appeal to all members, pl read it & act immediately so as to get higher pay.
k.ezhi, cs.

Dear friends,

Immediately after the release of 6th CPC, Our Association demanded higher grade pay of Rs 4600 to IP , Rs 4800 to ASP and Rs 5400 to PS Group B. The matter is still pending with Anomaly Committee for more than one year. During discussion, concerned officers in the Postal Directorate assured that the Grade Pay would be revised upwardly as soon as the Grade Pay of analogous cadre in other ministries/departments is revised.

Now the grade pay of Inspectors of CBDT/CBEC and Assistants in CSS has been revised from Rs 4200 to Rs 4600 vide Ministry of Finance Memo. No. F.No. 1/1/2008-IC dt.13.11.2009 and 16.11.2009. Referring this, I have already submitted letter No. CHQ/IASP/SCPC dated 16.11.2009 to Postal Directorate demanding Grade Pay Rs 4600 to Inspector Posts and a reminder was issued on 14.12.2009 besides meeting personally and had discussion with Director General (Posts) and DDG(Estt). But the file is not moving in the expected speed.

Enough time has already been given. We cannot prolong our patience furthermore. It is the time to react. Each one of us has to exert pressure on the Department. Then only we can get justice.

Please go through the following instructions carefully and do it immediately:

1. Every IP and ASP has to write a letter to DG individually with a copy to me.
2. Model letter is given below. Take print out. Two copies should be prepared. One should be sent to the following address:
Ms. Radhika Doraiswamy, Director General, Department of Posts, Dak Bhawan, New Delhi-110001
Another copy of this letter may be sent to the following address:
Shri. S.Samuel, General Secretary, AIAIASP, No.12.P&T Colony, Civil Lines, New Delhi-110054.
3. All Circle Secretaries and CHQ Office bearers are requested to personally request all members both IP & ASPs to send this letter.
4. All IP & ASPs are requested to pass on this message to all members and ensure that this letter is dispatched immediately as instructed above.
5. The letter writing campaign should be completed by 10.1.2010 positively.

Yours sincerely,

S.Samuel, General Secretary
