No. CHQ/IPASP/HSG-I/2013 Dated : 12/6/2013

Director General,

Subject : Creation of ASP Posts in Division and
filling up of vacant posts of HSG-I (IP Line) cadre.
Respected
Madam,
Your kind attention is invited towards this Associations letter
even number dated 23/4/2013 wherein it was requested to issue
instructions to all Circles to fill all the vacant post of HSG-I (IP Line) on
the same analogy as given in the case of HSG-I General line vide Directorate
Memo No. 04-44/2012-SPB.II dated 18th April, 2013. But till date no
such orders have been issued to circles thereby further eroding the promotional
prospects of Inspectors causing frustration amongst the Inspectors cadre.
This
Association would like to bring to your kind notice that re-designation of 141
posts of HSG-I (IP Line) was discussed in the meeting taken by the then
Secretary (Posts) on 11/08/2011. It was mentioned in the minutes issued vide
No. 01/01/2011-SR dated 25th August 2011 that “The Association was
explained that the post of HSG-I was not a promotional posts for IPOs and
further HSG-I post is non gazetted whereas the post of ASPOs is gazetted. In
the background of the above, the proposal could not be considered”. This
Association has already requested to Directorate that, 141 posts of HSG-I (IP
Line) may be re-designated as “Assistant Superintendent Posts” in order to
differentiate between HSG-I (IP Line) officials and HSG-I (General Line)
officials as there are no financial implications.
Thereafter some Circles like Karnataka, TN, Chief PMsG have identified
posts of HSG-I of IP Line for Postmaster Grade III in violation of the Directorate
instructions. After intervention of members of the Association, TN Circle took
action to maintain status quo but no reverse orders have been issued till date
by Karnataka thereby disturbing the settled position. The Association urges the Department to
consider this issue and issue orders immediately that these 141 posts of IP
Line remain in subordinate capacity uniformly in HSG-I for IP Line officials.
It is well known truth that second
Cadre Review proposal that has even presidential approval is lynching in the
files of Directorate for the past 23 years. Due to non-implementation of Second
CRC the promotion prospects of IP & ASP
however have further deteriorated with a span for promotion to PS Gr. B
extending up to 25 years.
While by some means the general line staff had
managed to get upgradation of 1772
posts of HSG II, HSG I without any commensurate increase in responsibility. The
Department has also taken care of the interest of the IPoS and they have
derived the benefits of 5 periodical reviews and 6th one is at implementation
stage. But the worst part of it is that the entire exercise was separately done
for other cadres except IP/ASP, thus taking away the basic thrust for
simultaneous career planning for all.
Some of
the measures proposed by the department like creation of cluster, creation of
inspection cells, reorganization of Sub Divisions with simultaneous upgradation
of some posts to PS Gr B to the extent necessary to match the recommendations
of Cadre Review Committee have only met a slow death with the proposal
ultimately relegated to the cold storage. No action to create posts
of ASP (BD), ASP (PLI/RPLI), ASP (Tech), ASP (CBS), ASP (Insp) etc in each
division by redeploying the existing 141 HSG-I (IP Line) posts has even taken.
It will be in the interests of things that the
present cadre strength is maintained and any attempt to reduce the cadre
strength at HSG-I level without taking into account the declining promotional
avenues of the Inspectors cadre would be detrimental to the interests of this
cadre.
Presently filling all the posts of IPASP/HSG-I on
the existing recruitment rules and till cadre review and redeployment of HSG-I
posts as suggested above will not only provide relief to the
stagnation-stricken cadres of the Department, but also will save a lot of time
and energy of the authorities to defend the Department in unnecessary litigation
on the issues pertaining to cadre and also save the Govt. expenditure.
Hoping
for favourable action and line in reply.
With warm regards,
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-
(Vilas Ingale)
General Secretary
