Theft from Rench S O under Bhubaneswar GPO

 Dear Comrades,

We are just in receipt of a message that last night ( 25.03.2016)  there was a robbery from Rench S O with loss of 2 systems including all accessories, 1 laser printer and one Pass Book printer.  As informed to us, no damage has been done to the treasury and investigation is going on by the local Police. No officer from the Department of Posts had attended the spot till 12.15 PM. We have tried to contact with SSPOs, Bhubaneswar  who could not talk since in a vehicle  on the way as informed.  We failed to contact with the SPM since he was busy with the investigating officers of the local police station.

In this context, it is to be noted that Rench S O has been recently migrated to CBS platform. It is a single-handed delivery S O attached with 12 B Os. Being situated in a rural area, the security arrangement is not at all satisfactory. Without adequate manpower and technical support, the SPM is working up to 10 O’ clock in the night everyday with lots of agony. And adding salt to injury, now this theft has put the SPM into an embarrassing situation.

We have kept a close watch on the issue.

At this moment, I would like to appeal all our members to extend their moral support and stay with the SPM.
