New Items
1-10/2011 Immediate restoration of status-quo of Puri, Koraput Postal Divisions and RMS ‘N’ Division, Cuttack to Class-I Division and posting of Officers accordingly. The order for down gradation issued by C.O. from SSPO cadre to SPOs cadre and SSRM to SRM cadre is without any logic and an arbitrary order which violated to Directorate order No.2-2/93-PE-I dated 07.9.1993 and para-2(II) of Dte.No.12-6/2003 dtd. 28.11.2003. The HOCs have no authority to down grade the Group A post to Group B cadre which retains with the Postal Directorate as a permanent measure as per order dated 07.9.1993.
Reply: The post of SSPOs Koraput & Puri Division have already been restored and officers have been posted on adhoc basis. The case of RMS ‘N’ Division will also be restored when eligible/suitable officers will be available.

The individual officials have represented to the Divisional Heads for the purpose. A permanent solution is demanded to end the hue and cry created by Sr.A.O., O/o DA(P) office from time to time. (In this connection the Circle union letter No.RIV/WL/Pay Recovery/N-Dn dtd.27.4.2011 may kindly be referred.)
Reply: As per rule 84 to 86 of FHB Vol.I, recoveries order by Audit/Account Officer have to be attended to without delay by DDO. No show-cause notice or prior information to the official concerned, is necessary.

5-10/2011 Puri, which is regarded as one of four Dhams of the country and famous for Lord Jagannath Temple and for beautiful sea shore, attracts thousands of pilgrims from the country & aboard to visit every day. The number of pilgrims from inside the country and aboard exceeds to lakhs in festive occasions. A large number of Central Govt. offices like Postal, Telecom, Income Tax and other Central Govt. Organizations are situated in Puri with hundreds of employees. The employees of Postal Department, other Central Govt. employees and also State Govt. employees through the state specifically desire to organise the marriage ceremonies, thread ceremonies and other functions in Puri due to its holistic importance. So, on the above back ground, we appeal for submission of a proposal for construction of a Kalyan Mandap / Community Hall in vacant, unutilised plot registered in the name of the Department, lying adjacent to Inspection Quarter at Netaji Subash Bose Road, Puri. This is also best way to create permanent source of earning for the Department and will help to avoid incidental encroachment possibilities of the land in question. Similarly, we appeal for raising of one proposal for construction of an indoor Stadium (A proposal lying pending since long) in the vacant plot situated near Puri HO, registered in the name of the Department. The back ground behind such proposal is that Puri hosts National level competitions always both of department of Posts and other Central Govt. organisations. Further, it has been reported that the above valuable lands of crores are threatened encroachment from different sides and the above construction proposals are the best way to save the lands from encroachment, also towards the gain of the Department & for staff welfare measures as well.
Reply: The proposal was considered and discussed and could not be acceded to as no fund is available for such activity.

6-10/2011 This is regarding gross irregularities in Circle PA gradation list and awarding LSG promotions basing on that as a result which juniors were given LSG promotions ignoring the seniors. In this connection this union letter No.UN/AIPEU,Gr.C/05-11 dated 04.5.2011, dated 09.5.2011,dated 30.5.2011 and letter No.UN/AIPEU, Gr.C/06-11 dated 02.6.2011 may kindly be referred to through which all the irregularities were communicated. We want following modifications immediately for implementation of Directorate guidelines and also to give justice to senior officials, deserving for promotions to LSG.
1-Immediate orders for cancellation of LSG memo of the junior officials in Postmen cadre have been taken into consideration. The senior officials to them should be declared as LSG.
2-The erroneous posting of DOC in gradation list should be corrected allowing senior for promotions to LSG.
3-The posting of general line officials against APM Accounts posts should be cancelled immediately and the senior officials having accountant qualifications should be declared as LSG for posting against APM Accounts posts as DTE guidelines vide letter No.6-12/2010-SPB.II dated 07.3.2011.
4-As no DPC was conducted in year 2008,2009,2010, year wise LSG promotions should be declared as per instructions vide Dte letter No.4-17/2008-SPB.II dated 08.2.2011.
5-Erroneous posting showing the DOE & DOC as same date in gradation list should be corrected ascertaining from the divisions.
6-The representations received from the officials against LSG declarations should be disposed off immediately with proper actions on their claims.
7-The subsequently modified Circle PA gradation list corrected up to 01.7.2009, basing on which LSG promotions are declared was not circulated to staffs which needs to be circulated immediately.

7-10/2011 62 number of LGO promoted PAs have not been given with preliminary in-house training/induction training and no appointment orders have issued to them for joining in vacant posts. The Direct recruited PAs, whose examination was conducted after the LGO examination have already joined in the posts after receipt of PVRs, local training and this is a sheer discrimination to ignore the cases of LGO promotees for absorption against the posts and will definitely disturb their seniority and other benefits. Moreover, no PVR is required in their cases and they can be posted against vacant posts just after preliminary local trainings as followed in case of Direct Recruited PAs. We have been informed that the LGO promotees in other circles have been given with appointment orders and place of postings after due local preliminary trainings. Hence, it is urged upon for immediate action for absorption of all LGO promoted PAs against the posts after due local trainings.
Reply: Induction training for LGOs at PTC Vadodara will start from 31.10.2011. Suitable instruction has been issued to all concerned to depute the candidates for training. Instruction has been issued to Divisional units on 29.09.2011 to issue promotion and posting orders after imparting in-house training for a week.

8-10/2011 This is regarding non supply of forms/ items from RFD located at Postal Printing Press, Bhubaneswar to Postal Stores Depot, Bhubaneswar as per the decision of our Circle head causing total disruption in supply of forms/items to Post offices & RMS offices through out the Circle. RFD is a godown to receive the forms /items printed in the Printing Press and to transmit the same to all the Postal Stores Depot under its jurisdiction, including PSD, Bhubaneswar. Where as all the Postal Stores Depots within its jurisdiction are lifting all type of forms/items by contractual private carriages, order has been given by our Circle authorities for supply of all forms/items to every Post Office & RMS office of the circle by closing of bags directly from the RFD, Bhubaneswar end. It is submitted that RFD is not the platform for closing of bags directly to the offices containing loose forms/items, rather it is a godown for keeping up forms items, printed by printing press and to make the supplies in bulk to the Postal Stores Depots. The Postal Stores Depots are the established offices with large halls, numerous heighted racks for arrangement of forms/items in systematic manner, keeping the record of stock up to date. The present order by the Circle office for closing of bags directly from the RFD, Bhubaneswar has totally disturbed smooth functioning of PSD Bhubaneswar, continued since its establishment with certain guidelines fixed by the Directorate for functioning of PSDs. This present order also hampered supply of forms/items to the indented offices throughout the circle, as PSD Bhubaneswar is at present the only source of supply because PSD Sambalpur has been kept in skeleton form. In addition to that RFD has no working environment and causing hardship to the staff to render their services efficiently as a result of which the supply work is severely affected and there is total hue & cry at the end offices on non-receipt of forms/items. To get rid of the arresting situation, it is requested to kindly withdraw the present order and to continue the supply works to the offices centrally from PSD Bhubaneswar, restoring the system of bulk procurement of forms/items from RFD, as done in the past.

10-10/2011 Non-functioning of Circle Office Lift for a prolong period.
Brief: The lift of this building has become non-functional since long. No effective measures have been taken to make it functional in spite of my repeated discussions with DPS(Hqrs) and CPMG and also joint memorandum by the staff unions/Associations of the building. Madam, it is also a fact that nowhere in the country a multi-storied building is devoid of a lift facility, which is seen and experienced here only. The hardship faced by staff members consisting of ladies, disabled, sick and aged is unimaginable. The paid is quite predictable if a person climbs more than hundreds of steps and get down the same number of steps to reach the ground floor in one walk. Our staff moves more than twice or thrice a day for attending the official business to different sections. Staff murmuring and resentment are mounting day by day which may lead to severe staff discontentment in near future. Action may be taken for immediate settlement of the burning issue.
Reply: The Directorate has been addressed for permission for installation of a new Passenger Lift. Condemnation Committee meeting will be conducted shortly.

11-10/2011 Filling up of Essential Technical Posts in Postal Dispensaries: Brief: A large number of Technical Posts are lying vacant since long resulting the beneficiaries are facing difficulties in their day to day Medical facilities. For example the case of Bhubaneswar, all the Technical staff excluding the Medical Officers and one Pharmacist were retired causing the dispensary paralysed. Immediate action may be taken to fill up the vacant posts on daily wage basis as done in other Circles.
Reply: The matter has been referred to Directorate for permission to fill up vacant paramedical posts. There is a proposal for merger of Postal Dispensary, Bhubaneswar with CGHS Hospital. In that case filling up the vacant posts by our Department may not arise. However, linking the Dispensary with the Pathological Lab will be examined to enable the beneficiaries to have pathological tests till the Dispensary is merged with CGHS Hospital.

However, for such employees, the promotions/up-gradations earned up to the GP of Rs.1800/- are to be ignored for the purpose of MACP as per DOP & Trg OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D), dated 16.11.2009, which is meant for the staff covered under ACP scheme which was introduced in Aug 1999, but not for the officials covered under [TBOP/BCR scheme to get MACP only.
Brief : The Sr. AO (Pen) has not only advised to HRO N Division, Cuttack but also to the DDO, PSD, BBSR for which all are confused. The arrears have not been paid to the officials who got TBOP prior to 01.01.2006 and retired/died thereafter, but the officials who got TBOP prior to 01.01.06 but are in the service have been given arrears by HRO N Division, Cuttack which violates to Directorate order dated 06.09.2010 and DG (P) no. 23-3/2008-UPE dated 09.12.09 which is only a clarification as to who will be eligible for MACP covered under ACP Scheme of Aug 1999.]
