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,

Amitabh Bachchan appeals for dry 'HOLI'
Amitabh Bachchan, the star of many hit holi numbers like Rang barse and Holi ke din sab mil jaate hai, wants his fans to save water this festival of colours as Maharastra faces water shortage.
Big B took to his Twitter to request his millions of followers to play dry Holi as the state is experiencing one of its worst droughts in the last 40 years.
"Water shortage in Maharashtra... and its only March. What will happen in Summer? Save water! Play a dry Holi," Bachchan tweeted. Similar sentiments were echoed by actors like Hrithik Roshan and Riteish Deshmukh.
Hrithik has decided to refrain from joining the Holi revelry this year. "Hrithik won't be celebrating Holi as a mark of solidarity with those who are suffering from the acute water shortage in Maharashtra. Instead, he will only use only a small amount of gulaal to apply a shagun tika as part of the traditional ritual," a source close to the actor said.
Actors Riteish Deshmukh and Ranvir Shorey also tweeted, expressing their concern over the issue.
"The drought situation in Maharashtra is extremely serious this year. Need of the hour is to save water. This holi say NO 2 water. #DryHoli," Riteish said.
"Be scared. Be very scared," tweeted Ranvir Shorey,

GS Desk.....DPC for the promotion to JTS Gr. A cadre.
Despite providing all the requisite records to UPSC, date for convening DPC for promotion to JTS Gr. A cadre is still awaited from UPSC. Directorate is persuing the matter.
GS writes to Secretary (Posts) regarding Non implementation of MACP.
No. CHQ/IPASP/MACP/UTR/2012 Dated : 4/3/2013.

Sub: Non Implementation of Modified Assured Carrier Scheme for Inspector Posts /Asstt. Supdt. Posts Cadre in true spirit particularly in Uttarakhand Circle and others in General.
Respected Madam,
Kindly refer to this Associations letter of even number dated 10/12/2012 wherein justice being denied to our members due to non convening of DPC for grant of timely MACP by Circles particularly Uttarakhand Circle was brought to the notice of the then Secretary (Posts) but unfortunately no attention seems to have been paid at Directorate level towards above said letter. Resultantly the Circles are taking every communications from Circle Secretaries very lightly and no due consideration is bestowed to our genuine demands. The members are taken as granted every time and none of the demands has been settled in our favour.
Convening of timely DPCs and draw up panel for future vacancies is otherwise also obligatory on the part of administration and legitimate right of the employees as given in DOP&T’s OM No.35034/3/2008-Estt(D) dated 19/5/2009, which interalia, provides that in order to prevent undue strain, the Screening Committee shall follow a time-schedule and meet twice in a financial year - preferably in the first week of January and first week of July of a year for advance processing of the all cases for grant of MACP maturing in that half. Directorate Memo No. 4-7(MACPS)/2009-PCC dated 18th September 2011 also refers.
It will be worth mentioning here that Uttarakhand Circle has not convened DPC for grant of 1st, 2nd or 3rd financial up-gradation to IP/ASPs fully till today though it was due in January 2011 and July 2011. Now you can well imagine the apathy of circles. Whereas, despite having clear instructions, in Uttarakhand Circle IPs/ASPs are made to suffer that results in considerable frustration amongst IPs/ASPs and this also adversely affect their morale.
Madam, department should realize that Inspector Post cadre is the most isolated and depressed cadre due to non Grant of Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- and now they are struggling even to get next Grade Pay under MACP. In case this is the level of justice being conferred to our members, it is not understood why department is expecting extra from the Inspector Posts (IP) cadre and all the schemes are virtually tried to devolve to this cadre for implementation. In case department intend to have cooperation from IP cadre the department should also take care of the demands of the cadre. In view of our genuine problems, it is once again requested that suitable instructions may kindly be passed to all Circles to complete pending MACP promotions immediately.
With Warm Regards,
Yours sincerely,
