The following items were discussed:
New Subjects:
Subject No. 1:
Unjust recovery of TRCA from GDS Officials in Cuddalore,
Vriddhachalam, Pudukkottai and Thanjavur Divisions:
During
the last Four monthly meeting held on 27th Apr’16, the subject relating to Cuddalore, Vriddhachalam,
Pudukkottai and Thanjavur Divisions were discussed and it was assured by the
Chief PMG that all the 72 cases of the above said three Divisions will be
reviewed by the PMG, Central Region and finalized early. After arriving
this discussion, this item was discussed with the PMG & DPS, Central Region
in the Bi-monthly meeting held on 30th May’16. During this Bi-monthly meeting, the PMG was
considerate to accept the demand of the Circle Union. Whereas the DPS,
Central Region was rather confusing or twisting the issue with his misleading
argument and hence the recovery has not been stopped yet in all the said three
Divisions.
Instead,
similar recovery has been ordered in Thanjavur Division also. This is
nothing but an act of adding salt to the injury. Therefore this Circle
Union records deep resentment over the faulty decisions of the DPS, Central
Region on this issue with a kind request to Chief PMG for stopping all such
recoveries immediately in all the affected four Divisions in Central Region
besides guarding against such recovery elsewhere in the Circle as well.
Reply:
PMG,
Central Region is directed to review all these cases and take immediate action.
Subject No. 2:
Filling up of unfilled vacancies of Postman in Chennai City
Region among the Circle level merit list:
The
result of Postman examination held in the year 2016 has been released during
the month of Jun’16. The result has been declared according to the merit
list in Chennai City Region. Even after the announcement of result there
are about 44 vacancies still available in Chennai City Region. It is
requested that this remaining unfilled vacancies may be filled up immediately
from among the merit list drawn up at Circle level since the examination was
conducted throughout the whole Circle only. If the remaining 44 vacancies
in Chennai City Region are filled up from among the Circle level merit list it
will enable the merited GDS candidates working elsewhere in the Circle to be
promoted as Postman in this year itself. Though this item was brought to
the notice of the Chief PMG by this Circle Union through letter dated 01st Jul’16, it appears that no action has been taken so far in this
regard. Therefore urgent action is requested on this problem.
Reply:
PMG,
CCR vide letter No.REP/5-2/PM Exam/15-16/CCR/Vol.III dated 08th Aug’16 called for report from the Divisions, and options from
Surplus qualified Candidates who has appeared for the Competitive Examination
for GDS to the cadre of Postman/Mail Guard held on 17th Apr’16 for the vacancies of 2015-16.
However,
suggestions will be examined.
Subject No. 3:
Stopping of surety bond recovery:
Advance recoveries are effected towards surety bond for every five years as a
measure of one time action. This is causing financial hardship to the GDS
employees. Hence it is requested that effecting of such lump sum recovery
may be stopped and instead, the practice of furnishing security bonds in the
form of NSC, POSB, TD etc. be introduced duly pledged by the GDS
employees since this will enable the GDS Officials to get their security amount
after release of pledges soon after retirement or discharge. At present
the lump sum recovery effected for every 5 years in advance is not being
returned to the GDS on any later date. Hence, this suggestion of this
Union may kindly be considered favourably.
Reply:
As per
Directorate’s letter NO.22-12/2001-GDS dated 17th Sep’13, the security will be in the form of Fidelity Bond or NSC
pledged to the Department in the name of the President of India. If there
are cases of non-release of security bond they may be taken up with Divisional
Superintendent concerned.
