One serious thing happening around PM cadre friends...

1. In the AIAPC blog they have stated that they are started to file the court cases one by one for postmaster cadre grievances.

2. Without knowing the stand of the department, filing the court cases for again and again for various issues will seriously spoil our cadre and stop all the PM cadre related  progress by mentioning that case is pending and subjudice.

3. First we have to know the stand of the department, second if the department is denied anything then only we have to approach the court.

4. It is pertinent to mention here that during the visit of AIAPS at directorate, some sections stopped the discussion with us by mentioning that u PM cadre people were filed  court cases so we cannot even discuss those subjudice matters  here  and directed to deal with court there after filed the cases.

Big scam in recruitment of postmen in Maharashtra unearthed

MUMBAI: The vigilance department of the Department of Posts has unearthed a mega scam in recruitment for over 2,400 vacancies, in Maharashtra. The Mumbai police registered an FIR in August against Manipal Technologies Ltd (MTL), which had won a bid in 2015 to conduct the recruitment process for postmen, mail guards and other staffers in the postal department. 

The FIR was filed on the basis of a complaint by an assistant post master general in Mumbai and names P V Mallya and other directors of MTL. Dubbing it a big scam, Justice A M Badar of the Bombay high court refused to grant pre-arrest bail to Mallya on November 3.

Now, government to start mapping your address digitally

The government wants to map your address — residential or professional — digitally, something done by Aadhaar for an individual's identification.

The department of posts - which is under the ministry of communications — has ordered a pilot project that will accord a six-character alphanumeric digital address for every property for three postal pin code locations.

The idea is to provide e-locations (like on Google Maps) for the addresses therein and then provide possibilities to link them to other information, such as property title and ownership, property tax records, information on utilities like electricity, water and gas.

The eLoc (e-location) pilot project has been approved for two postal pin codes in Delhi and one in Noida, following which the plan is to identify national expansion plans. The digital identity — say, UV77D7 — will be an e-enabled address that can be used parallelly to the existing postal address.

Financial Inclusion Will Be Marketed By India Post Payments Bank :  The goal is that via 650 banks for post payments, we can force financial enclosure in 1.55 Lakh rural areas,” Manoj Sinha claimed to the media.

 

Manoj Sinha, the Communications Minister, this week claimed that the government is operating on setting up 650 outlets for India Post Payments Bank to make easy the financial enclosure , and revealed 2 new schemes by the postal division.

“We will be opening almost 650 outlets for India Post Payments Bank all over India. Two, namely in Ranchi and Raipur, have already commenced. The goal is that via 650 banks for post payments, we can force financial enclosure in 1.55 Lakh rural areas,” Sinha claimed to the media.

One of the outcome of AIAPS joint memorandum dated 22.09.2017 Further CSI roll out was stopped till set right the CSI issues!!!

Dear All, Secretary Posts reviewed the CSI situation with the Government Business Head of TCS today. TCS has assured that they are working on the technical issues through the weekend and will come up with the status on Tuesday. Based on the report/solution and progress report from the field, a decision will be taken on further course of action. All rollouts may be kept on hold till further notice from Directorate. The immediate priority is to restore operations and accounting to a stable level.  

In the meantime, I would request that please concentrate on pre rollout activities as we will have to accelerate rollout after the technical issues are fixed. Also please take this time to focus on service book digitization which is also lagging. Training may please continue as planned.

There are problems and these have been taken up the highest level. We have to tackle this with patience. Hopefully, a more conclusive status will be posted next week. 

Regards, B.P.Sridevi, DDG Technology.
