Sub: Introduction of Postmaster Cadre in Postal Wing.
Ref: Postal Directorate No. 4-17/2008-SPB-II dated 22nd November, 2010
Respected Madam,
The Department has issued the above notification introducing Postmaster cadre in Postal Wing. At the outset, we wish to place on record that we are not against to the introduction of Postmaster’s cadre but seek certain clarifications in the interest of our cadre and Department. The following are the few points which require immediate kind attention of the Department
It is perceived from the said notification that posts for different categories in the hierarchy are to be carved out only from the General Line posts and as such IP Line cadre should not have any cascading effect.
1. In view of para 5(VI) & 5(VII) of said notification, it is understood that all 116 posts of Sr. Postmaster grade presently held by IP Line officials are to be filled partly from HSG-I (General Line) and partly from IP Line officials. The officials in PS Gr.”B” & Sr. Postmaster grade would be eligible for induction in IPoS, Group “A” on the basis of a consolidated eligibility list. Both these paras of the notification are in gross violation of equality provided under Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution as different parameters have been adopted for promotion to Sr. Postmaster from HSG-I which is on the basis of promotion on the one side and IP Line which is through LDCE on the other side.
2. Furthermore, the demand of other trade unions to fill up 100% posts of Sr. Postmasters and Chief Postmasters only from officials of Postmaster cadre (HSG I General Line) is baseless and hence categorically refuted.
3. This Association would like to recall that hitherto also there were two separate cadres i.e., Postmaster Group B and Postal Superintendent Group B which were merged to form composite cadre called PSS Group “B”. Due to unification of two cadres, the General Line officials were allowed to share 6% of the total posts worked out after merger. In this regard, Gazette notification was issued codifying the recruitment rules and subsequently LDCE was introduced for 25% of the vacancies out of which General Line officials still enjoying the share of 6%.
4. Apparently the new proposal is only attempt to revive old pattern viz. Postmaster Group B and Postal Superintendent Group ‘B’ as two independent cadres. This whole process of notifying the introduction of separate cadre of Postmaster has been done by the Department without consulting our Association. Resultantly, there is resentment and confusion in the Inspector, Posts cadre which is otherwise also directly or indirectly affecting the efficiency of the Department.
5. Now, since Directorate has issued notification so it would be only fit and proper if no further share from 649 posts presently held for promotion by non selection against 75% quota is allowed. However, Department may fill up 75% Sr. Postmaster posts from 165 (19% of total 866 PSS Group "B") posts presently allotted for promotion by LDCE for IPs and 25% of 52 (6% of 866) posts presently kept reserved for promotion for General Line officials. In this event, even Department will not have to call for options from IP Line officials working in PS Group "B" cadre and they can be easily adjusted and posted as Sr. Postmaster on 116 posts for which Department is also very much inclined.
6. 25% of vacancies in Senor Postmaster grade have been earmarked for HSG I (General Line) officials through promotion. Hence, recruitment rules of PS Group B cadre may be modified and provision may be made in the recruitment rules of PS Group B that 6% of total posts to be filled on the basis of same Departmental examination from General Line officials with 5 years regular service in LSG and above shall be reduced to the extent of number of posts occupied by the General Line officials in Senior Postmaster grade in Postmaster cadre.
7. In some Circles, Chief PMsG have identified posts of HSG I of IP Line for Postmaster Grade III which is in violation of the instructions contained in notification ibid. For the present 141 posts of HSG I Postmasters are earmarked for the IP Line officials which are part of promotional avenue for the Inspector, Posts. Order issued by the Department on formulation of Postmaster cadre is silent on the issue as to how these 141 posts will be retained for IP Line. The Association urges the Department to consider this issue and issue orders immediately that these 141 posts of IP Line remain in subordinate capacity in HSG I for IP Line officials.
8. It will be in the betterment of things if a meeting is arranged to discuss the issues concerning Inspector, Posts cadre. Until and unless this is done, the effects will lead to confusion resulting in resentment, frustration in the already depressed and ignored Inspector, Posts cadre.
Yours Sincerely,
(Roop Chand)

Respected Madam,
The Central Working Committee meeting of the Association was held at Ambaji (Gujarat) on 16th and 17th December 2010. During the meeting, the CWC registered its concern towards the inordinate delay in processing the demand of the Association for higher grade pay to IP on par with inspector cadre in other Central Government departments/ministries. While all other Departments/Ministries show positive action towards their inspectors, the DOP is alone showing a negative approach on our cadre. All Inspectors and Assistant Superintendents Posts are very much aggrieved and frustrated due to the inaction and indifferent attitude of the Department of Posts towards this cadre.
2. The department kept on telling the phrase “maintaining parity with other inspectorial cadre” whenever we demanded justified higher grade pay for IP & ASP. Now Inspectors and analogous cadres in other departments/ministries have been granted the higher grade pay of Rs 4600/- unilaterally after implementation of VI CPC. Such type of unilateral increase in pay scale was noticed in other departments/ministries in respect of their Inspectors after implementation of the past many CPCs. When we demand parity, the department in collusion with MOF is speaking entirely a different version. During discussion with DOP on this issue, we were informed that the cadre of ASP (Which is not in existence in other departments/ministries) is an impediment to implementing higher grade to IP. If that is the case, this Association is ready to go for merger of both the posts IP and ASP. The issue of merger of posts of IP and ASP with single Grade Pay of Rs.4600/- was discussed at a length during the course of General Body meeting in the All India Conference of the Association held at New Delhi on 03.04.2010 and 04.04.2010. The Association had come out with a proposal of merger of the posts IP and ASP and detailed discussions took place between the representatives of the Association and DDG (Estt.) on 05.04.2010. The department was convinced about the justified GP of Rs 4600/- on the merged post. Reminders were given to the DOP on 24-06-2010, 09-08-2010 & 07-09-2010 but no action has been taken by the Department till now and it has become the prime grievance of the Association. We also took up this issue in the agenda for periodical meeting on 27.08.2010 but DOP has not fixed date and time for holding of the same so far.
4. If the DOP felt problem in merger of the posts IP and ASP, the CWC was agreed unanimously and came out with an alternative proposal of merger of the post ASP with PS Group B with a Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- with effect from 01.01.2006. As both the posts are Gazetted Group B & difference of Grade Pay is only Rs.200/-. This Association urges upon the DOP to consider merger of the post of ASP with the post of PS Group B with a Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- and in that case the senior will be holding the charge of Division/Office.
5. In case no positive action is forthcoming, the CWC of the Association after a detailed deliberations and discussions, has come out with the following proposal:
“It is unanimously resolved that the Department must meet out the above demand within one month time frame. The CWC with one voice decided that, if no decision is taken by the Department, the Association has no other option except to proceed on with a direct action (Trade Union action) after 31.01.2011. In such circumstances, the responsibility of any adverse effect on services will rest with the Department”
An early result oriented action is requested.

Imp : CWC News from our CS
21st December 2010.
Dear Comrades,
In the Dte. letters No. 4-17/2008-SPB-II dated 22.11.2010 and 25.11.2010, it was very clearly mentioned that “to introduce a separate cadre of Postmasters by carving out the posts from existing general line posts”. But in contrary to Dte. orders, in our Circle 18 numbers of HSG-1 IPO line posts have been carved out for creation of Postmaster cadre Grade-III. Only in TN such posts have been carved out and in other circles they did it as per the directions of the Directorate i.e., the IPO line posts were untouched. This was strongly objected and debated in CWC at Ambaji and the GS was asked to take up the issue with our Directorate immediately or to get a stay in the court and he also assured to do this. If this is not done at Dte. it was decided to get stay by the Circle Association at CAT, Chennai.
As assured by the GS, due to the pressure given by him at the Directorate, it is reliably learnt that the Dte has issued directions to TN Circle to re-identify some other general line posts for creation of Postmaster cadre Grade-III and the process of re-identifying is going on now.
This is the achievement / result of timely action taken by our TN Circle Association and the unity and support shown by our members. The Association thanks Shri. Ponnaiah, Praveen, S. Murugan, Subbaiah, Mahes, Nithya, T.S. Ragunath and many other comrades for offering their valuable suggestions in this connection which was much helpful in placing our views at the Ambaji CWC.
SRB/CS.

Imp : Creation of Postmaster Cadre - Views
By matching savings (for surrendering IP line PM posts), we should fight for creation of new ASP posts like ASP BD or ASP PG or ASP RTI etc in the Divisional office so that IP can not be deprived of his due promotion at due time for want of vacancy. ASP from TN December 16, 2010 12:59 PM

Imp : Creation of Postmaster Cadre - Views
The Views from our Members are reproduced below :
01. Shri.Ponnaiah :
We may please read the Order No 4-17/2008-SPB-II dt 22.11.2010 and further order No 13-2/2010-PE-I dt 25.11.2010. In the first one in para 5.1 it is clearly stated that "..... carving out the cadre from the existing General Line Cadre Posts in Postal Wing and PS Gr 'B'." and in the second one in the first para also read "..... from the existing General Line Cadre Posts" only given. Then how comes the situation of taking the HSG I Posts of IPO Line into consideration. Our Association should highlight this and fight for it or else we will lose our posts.
02. Shri.Praveen :
THE ASP CADRE HAS NOW GIVEN GAZETTED RANK AND ALL OF US ARE ENJOYING THE SAME. THE POSTMASTER CADRE IS NON-GAZETTED. HOW YOU ARE ALL EXPECT TO GET A NON GAZETTED RANK POST BY PREVAILING THE GAZETTED RANK. KINDLY THINK OF IT AND DECIDE.
03. Shri.S.Murugan, ASP, OD, Tuticorin Dn :
Dear CS, The newly created Postmaster cadre is neither IPO line nor General line.But it is mainly for the benefit of general line people.So posts for this new cadre should be carved only from the cadre posts for which it formulated.Please insist vehemently. S.Murugan ASP OD Tuticorin.

Imp : Creation of Postmaster Cadre
01. In continuation of earlier Post, the following additional information is published.
The breakup details of IP / ASP posts in TN Circle
ASP DO - 23
ASP HQ - 47
IP PG - 39
ASP Sub Dn - 68
IP Sub Dn - 88
HSG 1 - 18
Total ASP - 156
IP - 127
It means, NO Postmaster post for ASPs in TN Circle.
02. The valuable comments posted by our Members is follows :
Shri.Mahes :
15. Postmaster cadre:- i. 33% of IP line posts were taken for direct rect(2004) but we are striving for Grade payRs.4600/- similarly , 6% is for general line but now 25% has been taken for postmaster .Again general line will take 6% seats for PSS-GR-B.
ii. IP, 5 years eligible for PSS-GR-B but IP, 6 years for Sr. Postmaster.
iii. ASP (HSG-I ) posts will be taken for the postmaster cadre.
iv. Postmaster cadre cannot come to Administrative line then why combine gradation list?
v. It is suggested, as some seats are reserved from LSG-HSG posts for postmaster cadre, likewise 6% of PSS-GR-B seats should be identified as Sr. Postmaster to be manned by postmaster cadre and stop 6% examination quota for general line.
vi. Why time related promotion for PM cadre like 5+6+2? Where as in our case vacancy related then MACP has no value for PM cadre.
vii. Exam pattern easier for LSG ,if one passed for LSG after 5 years than after 10 years he will get 4200/- and after 6 years 4600/- than why one should appear IP exam as he cannot get 4600/- after 16 years of service appearing a difficult exam for 24 hours duty.
viii. On the date of notification dated 09 Nov 2010, no Postmaster cadre completed 5 years of HSG-II and two years of HSG-I regular service than how will they work out to fill 25% seats for them?
Shri. T S Raghunath ASP TVL Sub Dn :
Early, PSS Gr B was given only for General Line. Later we got a share. Now Postmasters cadre. We are in a sorry state of affairs. There are two options, which I feel,
a) All the ASP HQ or ASP OD of each division to be identified as PSS Gr B. Our ASPs, who got MACP III GP Rs.4800 should get GP 5400 on completion of 4 years.
b) All our cadre people should desist writing Gr B exam unless we are treated with proper promotion avenues. If PSS Gr B exam is to be conducted all the 25% should be allotted IP cadre only. 9% general line quota to be abolished since they get Postmaster cadre. A wide range of discussion is needed on this issue. Now our langotti is robed while we are dreaming of a Dhoti ?

The Circle Secretary has been directed to take up the matters / decisions to the authorities concerned.
i. Examination Invigilation duty :
The Examination Invigilation duties are mostly done by us on Sundays and Holidays. As the honorarium paid for attending such Invigilation duties is very meager, a decision was taken in this CWC to represent to the CPMG, to exclude our IP / ASP cadre from such Invigilation / Squad duties, during Sundays & Holidays.
If duties are assigned, all IPs / ASPs will attend the Invigilation duties, but they will not take the honorarium sanctioned at the existing rates.
Action Taken : Accordingly the CS has submitted a letter to Chief PMG on 01.11.2010 and copies were sent to all the Regional PMsG. However, the comrades are further requested to attend the Invigilation duties, if they are assigned, but not to take the honorarium sanctioned.
ii. IO / PO Honorarium :
a). No uniform honorarium is paid in our Circle. Some IPs / ASPs are well paid and for others are getting very meager amount as Rs. 250 or Rs. 500 etc. Even though orders are very clear, but no uniformity is followed in our Circle. Even for such meager amount, the Daily Order Sheets and Depositions are demanded in some Regions, while submitting the Honorarium Bills. This will be taken up with our Chief PMG.
b). Imparting Training on Inquiry Officer / Presenting Officer to the newly recruited IPs and even for Seniors who were not trained. This will be taken up with our Chief PMG.
iii. Road mileage :
There is no restriction in FR / SR for claiming of Road mileage by the Inspectorial staff. Mode of travel is at the discretion of the travelling Officer. Vide letters No. ESB/122-7/95 dated 21.03.96 and letter No. APA/56-1/99 Rlgs dated 31.10.2007 of Chief PMG, Road mileage can be claimed up to 200 km & 100 Km, in r/o tours and local journeys, respectively. But many Divisional Heads refused to grant eligible Scooter mileage or restricting to their convenience, stating that :
- It is their discretionary powers.
- Merit of the case &
- The nature of the work performed.
This was already discussed during last Four-monthly meeting with Chief PMG also. Again, this will be taken up with our Chief PMG not to impose any restrictions in granting Scooter mileage and to instruct all the Divisional Heads to follow the rules, throughout the Circle.
iv. Merger of IRM / ASRM Association with our IP / ASP Association :
Being an All India Issue, the merger has to be taken up with our CHQ and the Circle Association has no role to play in the merger. However this CWC wholeheartedly welcome the members of IRM / ASRM Association of TN Circle to join our IP / ASP Association, without any precondition and by paying six-months subscription in advance, as per our constitution. The willing IRM / ASRM members are requested to contact the CS, for further action.
v. Building Fund :
This CWC has deposed faith on the body and authorized the CS to purchase a site at Yercaud (Salem – TN), after obtaining the Legal opinion & other pre-formalities. The CWC members visited and inspected few sites identified by the CS and expressed their satisfaction.
Action: The process of getting legal opinion is in progress and the site will be purchased shortly.
vi. Appointing authority to Postman cadre :
Of late, some of the Divisional Heads in our Circle are issuing the appointment orders to the GDSs, promoted as Postman, directly appointing them as Postman in the HOs / SOs in the Sub Divisions, which are under the control of Sub Divisional Heads. As per the Rulings on the subject, they have to be initially allotted to the Sub Divisions and then the SAAs concerned will order the place of posting. But this is not strictly adhered by some of the Divisional Heads. If the Divisional Heads are directly issuing the appointment orders to the GDSs, promoted as Postman, then what is the need for maintaining the CRs, PFs at the Sub Divisions? Considering the increasing work load at the Sub Divisions and non availability of any sort of assistance, even the leave sanctioning power can be given to the Divisional Head, along with the maintenance of CRs/PFs.
The CWC has directed the CS to take up the matter with Chief PMG and to confirm the correct Rulings / Procedure.
vii. Delivery of free Text Books :
During last year, lots of problems were faced by the IPs / ASPs in delivering the free Textbooks. We, the IPs / ASPs, being the middle level Managers, could not go to the bottom level in bargaining with the Fleet owners, Coolies for loading / unloading and even with the staff of the Text Book Corporation. Many of the IPs / ASPs have expressed their untold sufferings in carrying out this task and many of us have worked even in the late night hours. Many of us have spent their own money.
One of the Divisional Head in Western Region has directed the IPs / ASPs in his Division to refund the excess expenditure incurred by them. Even an ASP has been directed to refund a sum of Rs. 22,346. On the other hand, most of the Divisional Heads in Western Region have charged the actual expenditure incurred by the IPs / ASPs in their Divisions and the same were approved by the Regional PMG.
Further, considering the revenue generated in this task, we are not against this work, but the IPs / ASPs cadre should not be degraded by entrusting laborious work. This CWC has directed the CS to take up the matter with the Chief PMG and ensure that:
- No amount is recovered from IP / ASP cadre, in this regard.
- The IP / ASP will do only the monitoring work as defined.
- The nature of duties assigned to the IP / ASP in this task, may be enlightened specifically.
- The Fleet, Foolies for loading/unloading should be fixed by the Administration and not by the IP/ASP.
viii. PSI :
Discussions, in depth, in connection with affiliation of PSI with our IP / ASP Association took place. Mostly all the members expressed their unhappiness about the functioning of PSI with our Association and raised many questions:
- What is the need for affiliating PSI with us?
- Whether our IP / ASP Association is affiliated to PSI?
- If yes, who has done it & under what authority?
- Is any quota is paid to PSI, either from Circle or from CHQ?
- Is there any monetary benefit from PSI to our IP / ASP Association, so far?
- Many a times, meetings & workshops are conducted in our Circle, even without the knowledge of the CS or to any of the CWC members or local IPs / ASPs. Why?
- Repeatedly, only particular IPs / ASPs have flown to Foreign Fountries and visited many places in India. How and Who have nominated them?
As the above questions remain unanswered, this CWC unanimously decided to take action to de-link the affiliation of our Association with PSI. The CS has been directed by the CWC to take up this matter with GS at CHQ and with the concerned spokesman of PSI.
The CWC discussions / decisions held at Yercaud (Salem –TN) on 29.10.2010 are published in to the website, for information to all the members of our Association. The action taken by the CS will also be published in to the website, then and there, in due course.

Respected Madam,
Sub: Excluding our IP/ASP cadre from exam invigilation duties due to payment of meager honorarium – reg.
Sub: Excluding our IP/ASP cadre from exam invigilation duties due to payment of meager honorarium – reg.
Ref : The resolution passed in the Circle Working Committee Meeting held at Yarcaud on 29th October 2010.
The examination process for recruitment of PAs/SAs is under way and our IP/ASP staff will be asked to perform the invigilator/supervisory duties. The examination work is an arduous nature of duty and assigned in addition to ones own work. Mostly the IPs/ASPs are called on Sundays/Holidays for invigilation duty. The IPs & ASPs engaged for such examination duty are being paid honorarium, @ Rs. 20 for a single session and Rs. 40 for a full day. Paying such a small amount in the name of honorarium is nothing but degrading this cadre. As such the members of this Association are reluctant to perform the examination duties and have some resentment over the issue.
The existing honorarium is fixed during 1972 i.e., nearly four decades ago and the amount being paid is very meager and it is not at all sufficient to compensate, even the traveling expenses. Many times this issue was brought to the notice of the administration but we are sorry to say that it did not evoke any response, which is demoralizing us. A lot of pressure is gradually mounting on members our Association to take up agitational programme.
In these circumstances and with the views of all our members, it is decided in the Circle Working Committee meeting of this Association held at Yercaud (Salem) on 29.10.2010 and a resolution has also been passed, to stay away from any such examination invigilation/squad duties on Sundays and holidays. We request your goodself, kindly to EXCLUDE our IP/ASP cadre from invigilation/squad duties.
With regards.
Yours faithfully,

200 year-old tunnel found in Mumbai. (with Videos
Mumbai: An ancient tunnel dating back 200 years was discovered on the premises of the General Post Office (GPO) at CST in Mumbai on Monday (19.10.10).
MiD DAY learnt about this slice of history and informed the GPO authorities three days ago. Initially, the authorities refused to believe that they could be sitting, in more ways than one, on such an ancient passageway.
Chief Postmaster General (Maharashtra & Goa) Faiz ur Rehman was not amused when he was first told about the tunnel. "In the last 25 years that I've been working at this building, I've never heard about any such thing," said Rehman. "We'd like to confirm any such existence before making any comments to the media."
Yesterday ie) 19.10.10, Rehman, who was in Aurangabad, told, "It's like a treasure for the GPO. We are thankful to MiD DAY for bringing this fact to our notice and want to explore it as much as we can to understand what it could have been for ages together,". "We will seek assistance from the heritage department and others concerned to unearth this mystery."
With other senior officials at the GPO, it was a similar tale of disbelief turning into surprise. "Neither have I ever heard of any such a passageway," said Postal Director Abha Singh who later said she admitted that the entire area surrounding the GPO may be steeped in history. "Truly, it's a treasure and we'd love to preserve it," said Singh. She hoped that the passage could someday be converted into a museum and thrown open to the public.
Acting on a tip-off by this correspondent, Postal Director Abha Singh and a few employees started making enquiries with liftman S S Jadhav who has been employed with the department for 26 years. Jadhav confirmed having learnt of such an underground opening. Along with Jadhav and a few other employees, MiD DAY went to a garden in front of the building. There, we came across a cement structure covered with a lid and a flowerpot placed on it. It took at least three people to open the lid.
Inside was a rusted iron ladder, leading to a muddy floor. None of the people around mustered courage to step in. There were two other openings leading below each within a few metres of the other. Postal Director Abha Singh gets the employees to open the lid in a garden in front of the GPO building.
A BMC drainage cleaning employee, who was at the spot, confirmed to MiD DAY that it could not be a drainage tank, as there was no foul stench of gas being emitted from the opening. "I know each and every underground passage in front of the GPO but I've never come across anything like this before," he said.
Finally, postal employee Devji Waghela dared to enter, armed with an emergency lamp. "The mouth of the tunnel is wide open and any person can walk inside," said Waghela. "Neither did I feel suffocated nor was the place stinking. I could see mud all over the place." Waghela said he flashed the lamp he had and he could see a walkway-like passage flanked by strong walls as far as the eye reached.
Chairman of Mumbai Heritage Committee, Dinesh Afzalpurkar, said he would ask his officials to visit the site and study if the place has any historical background.
Assistant Director of the state Archaeological Department, Balchandra Kulkarni, said, "It would truly be a great contribution by MiD DAY if this leads to a forgotten treasure from the British era."Kulkarni said the tunnel could either be a drainage line used during the British era or an escape route. Kulkarni, who has studied Mumbai's forts said the British feared an attack by Napoleon and had constructed an underground escape route stretching from Apollo Bunder to where the Bombay High Court stands and St George's Fort (covering St George Hospital to Masjid Bunder).

A 1.5-km tunnel also exists in the adjacent St George Hospital's ward number 5. "I have studied the St George fort passageway which opens inside St George Hospital but that passage connects to a dead end and nothing concrete could be concluded from there," said Kulkarni.
History check
The British who were ruling Bombay during the 18th century feared that Napoleon would attack Bombay. In order to protect themselves, they constructed an underground escape passage route called Bombay Fort. However, Napolean was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
1862 - Year the Bombay Fort was demolished by the British
1913 - Year the GPO building was erected.

An ancient "tunnel-like" structure has been unearthed in the garden of the General Post Office in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay).The authorities say it is clear that the previously undiscovered structure is not a sewage or storm-water drain. It was only revealed when a local newspaper reporter asked to see it.
The post office was built 97 years ago.
Chief Postmaster General Faiz-ur-Rehman told the BBC that the discovery of the structure came as a surprise. "When we managed to open it there was no foul smell. We have called in the experts now and they will establish whether it connects anywhere else."

டூவீலர் திருட்டை தடுக்க புதிய முறை : கல்லூரி மாணவர் சாதனை
தஞ்சாவூர்: டூவீலர் திருட்டை தடுக்க புதிய தொழில் நுட்ப முறையில் மீட்டர் பாக்ஸ் பொறுத்தும் முறையை கும்பகோணத்தைச் சேர்ந்த மாணவர் கண்டு பிடித்து சாதனை படைத்துள்ளார்.தஞ்சை மாவட்டம் கும்பகோணம் ஸ்ரீநகர் காலனியைச் சேர்ந்தவர் ராதாகிருஷ்ணன் மகன் விவேக்ராஜ் (23). கும்பகோணம் அரசு இன்ஜினியரிங் கல்லூரியில் பி.இ., மெக்கானிக் படித்துள்ளார். இவர் டூவீலரில் சாவிக்கு பதில் கைவிரல் ரேகை மற்றும் ரகசிய எண்ணை பயன்படுத்தி இயக்கக்கூடிய வகையிலும், தானாகவே டூவீலர் பூட்டிக்கொள்ளும் வகையில் ஆட்டோமேடிக் லாக்கையும் கண்டுபிடித்துள்ளார்.
சாதனை கண்டுபிடிப்பு குறித்து விவேக்ராஜ் கூறியதாவது:டூவீலரில் உள்ள மீட்டர் பாக்ஸ் பகுதியில் சாவிக்கு பதில் கைரேகையை பதிவு செய்யும் கருவியை இணைத்து, குடும்பத்தில் உள்ளவர்கள் கைரேகையை அதில் பதிவு செய்ய வேண்டும். டூவீலரில் உரிமையாளர் அனுமதியுடன் ரகசிய எண்ணை பயன்படுத்தி அவரது நண்பர்களுக்கு மட்டும் அது தெரியும் வகையில் வடிவமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.அந்த எண்ணையும், கைவிரல் ரேகையையும் அவ்வப்போது மாற்றிக் கொள்ளும் வசதியும் உள்ளது. இவ்வாறு அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள டூவீலரில் கைவிரல் ரேகை, ரகசிய எண் அறிந்தவர் தவிர மற்ற எவரும் டூவீலரை நகர்த்தக்கூட முடியாது.
மேலும், போர்க் லாக், பேக்வீல் லாக், பெட்ரோல் லாக் என மூன்று லாக்கரை அமைத்து, அவற்றையும் இதனுடன் இணைத்தால் அம்மூன்றும் டூவீலரை நிறுத்தியதும் லாக் ஆகிவிடும். இதனால், இந்த டூவீலரை உருட்டிச் செல்ல முடியாது. திருப்ப முடியாது. ஓட்டிச் சென்றால் சிறிது தூரத்தில் பெட்ரோல் தீர்ந்து டூவீலர் தானாக நிற்கும். டூவீலரை கைரேகை வைத்து, ரகசிய எண் கொடுத்து ஸ்டார்ட் செய்தால் மட்டுமே பிற லாக்கர் திறந்து டூவீலரை இயக்க முடியும்.இந்த முயற்சிக்கு காப்புரிமை பெற முயன்றுள்ளேன். இதை கண்டறிய எனக்கு 8,500 ரூபாய் செலவானது. வியாபார ரீதியில், அதிக எண்ணிக்கையில் இதை செயல்படுத்தினால் மிகக்குறைந்த விலையில் பயன்படுத்தலாம். டூவீலர் திருட்டையும் தடுக்கலாம்.இவ்வாறு அவர் கூறினார்.
இந்த கண்டுபிடிப்புக்கு அவரது கல்லூரியில் முதல் பரிசும், சென்னை ஐ.ஐ.டி.,யில் 76 கல்லூரிகள் பங்கேற்ற போட்டியில் மூன்றாம் பரிசும் கிடைத்தது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
