            Change of working hours of Sahidnagar MDG and installation of Closed Circuit Camera in the basement where the mail branch is functioning without any supervisor:
The Mail, Sorting and Delivery branch are being operated in the basement of the P O building and the Postmaster sits in the ground floor. Thus, direct supervision of these branches personally by the Postmaster is being prevented. When the Postmaster comes to the basement for supervision, the counter transactions are being affected compelling the customers to wait and inviting resentments. Installation of C C Camera can help the Postmaster in correctly supervising the Mail branch. Secondly, since the 1st mail is being received daily through MMS at 6.50 AM, the bags are remained unopened till 9 AM. Thus, the working hours of this office requires to be changed so that cutting of bags, facing/stamping/sorting of articles and  data feeding in postman module etc. will be finished in time and the beat out can be ensured rightly at 10.30 hours.

Immediate dequaterisation of Acharyavihar S O with complete civil and electrical works:
It has come to the notice of this union that the post attached quarters of Acharyavihar NDT SO is completely uninhabitable with soaked walls and floors, damaged windows and doors, dangerous electrical wiring and unsuitable fixtures / fittings. In addition, the post office itself is functioning in a single room without any additional space for the GDS to sit and there is no stock /store room for the PO also. The inside view of the PO through sub-standard networking for computerization with no server rack surrounded by damaged table and rack and without any visitors’ chair and the outer look with damaged roof of the public place and faded sign board certainly put several  questions on the look and feel good concept of the Department.
            As such, it is requested for immediate dequaterisation of Acharyavihar NDT SO with complete civil/electrical works including supply of suitable furniture.

            Grant of MACP with retrospective effect to officials earlier deprived due to average APAR and subsequently granted.

It has come to the notice of this union that the officials earlier deprived of getting MACP due to below bench mark, though granted subsequently, yet not from the date of their eligibility but from a date the APARs were reviewed to be “Good”. As far as our knowledge goes, there was no clear mention regarding date of effect of such cases in the recommendations of 6th CPC. The cases of Sri Jashobant Baliarsingh, PA, Ashok Nagar MDG and Sri Surendra Nath Das, OA, PSD, Bhubaneswar (Retired) may be taken as example. Though the above officials were entitled for MACP w.e.f. 01.09.2008, they were granted w.e.f. 01.04.2010 after review of the APAR by the Screening Committee.
Thus, it is requested to observe fundamental principles of natural justice and grant MPCP to such officials from the date of their eligibility interpreting the rules in favour of the officials in absence of any specific instruction.

The cases will be examined on receipt of individual application from the concerned official and put up before the Screening Committee, if found justified.       (Action : Staff – Branch)
