Sub:     Shifting CTO out of Bhubaneswar GPO building

Dear Comrade,

As you are aware, we have already discussed this issue of shifting of CTO out of Bhubaneswar GPO building earlier.

During 2006 this union had discussed with the Divisional administration in this regard and as per our pursuance, the matter was subsequently discussed with the DPS (HQ) by the Circle Union on 04.09.2006. As replied by the DPS(HQ), this may not be possible unless BSNL surrenders voluntarily as per DoP / DoT directives.

It is worth mentioning here that, the original terms and conditions were initially signed with DoT and not with BSNL. In addition, after withdrawal of the telegram facility by the Govt. since 15.07.2013, the CTO is supposed to be kept vacant or the BSNL authorities may try to shift any other office to the building.

It is needless to reiterate that consequent upon Computerization, modernization,  opening of Financial Mart, National Speed Post Hub, Mass Mailing Centre, Mail Business Office, Philatelic Bureau, the Mail / Sorting / Delivery branches of Bhubaneswar GPO are functioning in a very cramped situation in the ground floor and the Mail Business Office has in the mean time been shifted to the old cycle stand of Circle office.

Thus additional space is barely required for Bhubaneswar GPO.

Therefore, the item may once again be brought to the notice of Circle administration to take necessary action for shifting CTO out of Bhubaneswar GPO Building  immediately to avail more space for smooth functioning of different branches.

With greetings.

Comradely yours,

B Samal.

Divisional Secretary
