STATE TO ALLOT FIVE ACRES OF LAND TO THE POSTAL DEPARTMENT IN AMARAVATI

A new era in postal and telegraph services began with the launch of A.P. Postal and Telecom Circles here on Tuesday.

The Central government also plans to launch 13 circles in all districts in the State. All these 13 circles would function under the main circle of the State.

While Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu launched the A.P. Postal Circle, Union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu launched the telecom circle. The postal and telecom circles were launched close to two-and-half years after bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.

New Pension System – It’s No Pension Scheme

New Delhi:- Discontent is simmering among the government employees and teachers over the Contributory Pension Scheme also called the National Pension Scheme that was launched in 2003 by the then NDA government. The united Andhra Pradesh government and later the Telangana State governments have also adopted the scheme.

The existing employees in 2003 did not react much as it did not impact them. But, as the government recruitments continued after 2004, the ranks of government employees denied the defined benefit pension and brought under this contributory pension scheme started to swell. They are realising its ill-effects on them. There are about 1.15 lakh such employees in Telangana and another 1.56 lakh in Andhra Pradesh, who are affected by the New Pension Scheme.

One more denial of natural justice to the Postmaster Cadre officials - PM Cadre officials are not eligible to appear in PSS Group B exams

Dear Postmasters,

           During 2010-2011 Many officials are already completed 5 years LSG service and then only opted Postmaster Cadre.

           Unfortunately all the PM Cadre officials are barred once again to appear in PSS Group B exams. 

         1/3 of LSG/HSG II/HSG I general line posts only carved out for Postmaster Grade I/II/III respectively. Origin cadre is allowed but the newly created carved out cadre is barred is definitely a denial of natural justice.

          IP cadre may opt postmaster hierarchy Sr.PM Posts. LSG can write the PSS Group B posts exams and they also can opt Postmaster Cadre hierarchy Sr.PM posts. But Postmaster cadre officials cannot be appeared for any exams is definitely denying equal opportunities.

            We are not against to IP cadre officials or General Line Supervisors. They are also our brothers and sisters. But discriminating only PM Cadre is wounding the PM Cadre officials.

           So Dear members, be united. This is the time to throw the colors we are wearing at present. We have to come under one roof to fight back for this natural injustice and denial of equal opportunities.

26.09.2016 AIAPS and Tamilnadu Circle Administration formal Cadre restructure meeting

Official side :

1.DPS (HQ)

2.APMG (Staff)

Officials of establishment section and recruitment cell

Staff side :

1. K.Ayyavoo Circle secretary 

2. K.Kalimuthu Regional secretary

Subjects discussed

1. Cadre restructure of Postmaster cadre :

  Proposal was submitted and Circle administration is agreed that glaring anomaly will be arose as "One work two Pay" for HSG II and PM Grade I. Moreover PM cadre cannot be placed at par with LSG since LSGs (Single handed and Double handed SOs SPMs) promotion eligibility is 5 years PA service only where as PM cadre officials are recruited by 5 years PA service and in addition to that  they have to clear the Limited Departmental competitive examination with merit.

One more success to the unity of Tamilnadu Postmasters - Circle office is requested to attend the cadre restructure meeting to put forth our PM Cadre issues.

Dear Postmasters,

         As a recognized association All India Association of Postal Supervisors(GL) was also requested to participate in the meeting by the Circle Administration to discuss about the Group C cadre restructure on 26.09.2016 at 1030hrs.

        As Postmaster Grade I is also coming under the category of Group-C we will firmly demand to upgrade the Postmaster Grade I. Postmaster Grade II/III posts will automatically be upgraded under cadre restructure. Submitted proposal will be published shortly.
