Dear Collegues,

Kamalesh Chandra committee recommendations are brought to effect from 2018 July. Even on lapse of 32 months, the Department of Post has not come forward to settle the legitimate demands, by implementing very important recommendations.

Though several discussions were conducted with the Department by the NUGDS and the Federation, no progress is seen. Peaceful discussions did not give any fruitful result which has lead us to move with agitation programmes. It is decided to conduct one day’s opposition Dharna in front of all Circle offices all over India on 24.03.2021.

All Circles are requested to make the programme a grand success. Detailed instructions connected with the programme will be given shortly.

Your fraternally.

Sir,

Sub: Deaths due to COVID-19 : Request for relaxation in compassionate appointment – reg

My Federation repeatedly requesting the Department to follow Ministry of Health instructions while opening and operating the offices during COVID -19 pandemic. It is the most unfortunate that no circles are following the MOH advisories. This failure to follow advisories resulted in infection of a few Officials of the department. Out of which one is succumbed.

In the instant case one of our officials namely Abdul Haasan had attended duty at Kolkatta Foreign post on 30/3/2020 and 01/04/2020. He was admitted in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital Kolkatta on 14/04/2020 with high fever and breathing problem. In the course of treatment as inpatient, our official Abul Haasan expired on 18/04/2020. According to our information dead body of our staff, was not handed over to the family, it was buried by the State Government authorities. Subsequently, Abul Haasan family members have been sent to quarantine by the state government authorities. This is the most unfortunate, in this connection circle unions both FNPO & NFPE jointly met CPMG and submitted a detailed letter requesting protection to the staff from COVID-19 infection. It is also requested to observe MOH advisory on the subject during the course of employment during the period of this pandemic. The Circle unions have also requested the CPMG to cause compassionate appointments to the family member of the demised official by relaxing the prevailing rules.

Further to submit that the undersigned appraised off the details of the case to Member (P) on 20.04.2020 via whats app and the Member (P) has conveyed the deepest condolences.

This incident of death is in the course of the employment exposing to the deadly Virus. This death is most unfortunate and resulted due to extraordinary conditions. The official is succumbed while rendering the essential service in view of this my federation requests the Chairman Postal Services Board kindly take up the issue with DOP&T to cause relaxation to, in extending the benefit of Compassionate appointments to the deceased family members, wherein the death due to COVID-19. In other words the norms for compassionate appointments may not be observed for the cases of death due to the pandemic.

With high hope, my federation is suggesting this for kind consideration and speedy action.

Yours sincerely,

The Secretary

sir,

Sub: Non Implementation of GDS Committee Report

GDS committee report, containing favorable recommendations to the bill paid GDS employees was submitted to the Government in November 2016. A discussion on the report was held before the unions and the Department on March 2017. The officers of the postal services board had promised after discussion that the recommendations would be implemented within 6 months which was taken by the union. with gratitude. But though 17 months have elapsed, there is no move from the Department to implement the recommendations which we note painfully. We are not in a position to explain delay before the employee. VII th CPC report relating to about 1 crore central government employees and pensioners was implemented with the 8 months of the submission to the Government. There is no justification for the abnormal delay for the non implementation of GDS committee report, relating to 240000 GDS employees of the postal department alone.

In the above circumstances, we are constrained to move on serious agitation programmes against the attitude of the Government including non attending of PLI/RPLI, and SB/RD business. Along with this, we are preparing for conducting nation wide strike in the month of May 2018. Statuary notice for the strike will be given in the appropriate time.

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely

S/d,
P.U.Muraleedharan
General Secretary
