Sub: Organizing Mela / Meetings / Workshops
on Sundays/Holidays
Respected Sir,
In spite of clear
instructions issued vide Directorate’s letter No. 16/56/2011-SR
dated 8.7.2011 not to hold meetings / melas on Sundays and Holidays and
reiterating the same vide letter No 08/15/2011-SR dated 09.01.2012 to
follow the instructions in letter and spirit, it has come to our
notice that some Divisional Heads are still organizing meetings and workshops
on Sundays / Holidays and thus depriving the employees of their
legitimate right to avail the weekly break/holidays which have their own
significance.
Recently SPOs Aska Division
called a workshop of all PMs and SPMs (A class
& B Class) on 22.01.2017(Sunday)
vide his letter No BD/Genl-24 dated
17.01.2017. Not only Aska, but several other Divisions are also compelling the
staff to attend mela / meetings / workshops on Sundays / Holidays.
In this
context, it is worth mentioning here is that this union has taken up this
particular issue several times before with the Circle administration with
positive result of shifting the date(s) to working days.
We may not commit a mistake
in suggesting our authorities that motivation in a well designed manner
realizing and addressing the employees’ difficulties can earn more revenue and
achieve targets but not compulsion. But unfortunately, we are in such trends
where compulsion supersedes motivation. We are not opposing in any manner to
suspend any programme(s) of the Department that will take us towards our goal
but just suggesting to reschedule it so that employees will be encouraged to
participate in the same programmes of their own accord.
Rather, we are in favour of
arranging frequent Melas/meetings/workshops on working days in small groups
instead of a huge one continuously on Sundays/Holidays.
Therefore,
it is requested kindly to instruct all Regional / Divisional Heads to follow
the instructions issued vide Directorate’s letters referred to above in letter
and spirit and not to arrange meetings/melas on Sundays/Holidays.
A line of reply on the
action taken in this regard is highly solicited.
With regards.
Yours faithfully,
(
BRUHASPATI SAMAL)
Circle
Secretary
