Action Plan Supplementary- 2

Dear Postmasters,

              We are really delighted for your profound response from all over the country- from Kashmir in the north to Kanyakumari in the South and from Gujarat in the west to Nagaland in the far East.

              Now we feel that all of our friends in Postmaster Cadre are highly charged to get our desired goal i.e. firstly the recognition of our dream All India Association of Postmaster Cadre and secondly to represent our matters before the 7th Central Pay Commission.

              It is noticed that some of our dear friends are sending Membership Declaration Forms and Letter of Authorization  forms directly to Sri Ganesh Sable, Postmaster, Grade-I, General Secretary (Ad-hoc Committee), All India Association of Postmaster Cadre, Dharavi PO, Mumbai-400017  which doesn’t match with our Action Plan sent vise Mail dtd 10/09/2014.

Action Plan Supplementary 1.

Dear Postmasters,

                            The Postal Directorate letter No 13/2/2014-SR dated 11th November, 2014 duly published in our Blog on 17/11/2014 http://aiapcchq.blogspot.in/ is a giant leap forward towards our goal of being recognised as a new service association (All India Association of Postmaster Cadre).
                             The letter from Directorate removes all kinds of prejudices and doubts towards the formation of our association but strengthen the prospects of formation of the same. That our line of action is being already on the right track we need to fulfil the omissions as suggested by the Directorate to enable them to consider our proposal.

                              It’s an appeal to all concerned to take part in the process of obtaining recognition of Service Association as per the following suggested course of action and strictly adhering to the dates considering the reason to represent our matters before the 7th Central Pay Commission for which early recognition of All India Association of Postmaster Cadre is extremely essential.

Government employees to take pledge on Patel's birth anniversary

New Delhi, Oct 24 :  Employees of government offices, public sector undertakings and other institutions will pledge to maintain the unity and integrity of the country Oct 31, the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel which is being observed as Rashtriya Ekta Diwas (National Unity Day).

The pledge will also be administered in schools and colleges. The Central Board of Secondary Education has issued a notice asking schools to administer the pledge.

An official statement said the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas will "provide an opportunity to re-affirm the inherent strength and resilience of our nation to withstand the actual and potential threats to the unity, integrity and security of our country".


All the ministries and departments of the central, state governments and union territories have been requested to organise appropriate programmes on the occasion in a befitting manner, including the pledge-taking ceremony, it said.

A 'Run for Unity' involving people from all sections of the society, a march past in the evening by police, the Central Armed Police Forces and other organisations like the National Cadet Corps, National Service Scheme, Scouts and Guides, and Home Guards will also be held.

The CBSE has appointed 250 centre coordinators in schools across India to organise the event.

In each centre, 400-500 students from the neighbourhood schools will come together on Oct 31 for other mass activities.

"In every centre the activities will focus on collectively making posters, jingles, paintings, collage, team debates, etc. on such topics which will involve joint planning and completion. Centre coordinators may also organise indigenous team games," a CBSE notice said.

"Activities will also involve collaborative effort to convey the message of importance of unity in sustaining any work such as keeping public places clean," it added.

MODIFICATION ON COMPASSIONATE APPOINTMENT CONDITIONS

When ‘postman of the yore’ came knocking

On a dull Saturday morning, a few residents of Madhavanagar were pleasantly surprised to have their letters delivered by a barefooted postman dressed in ‘kachche panche’ (dhoti) and ‘petha’ (head gear), who also held a spear with jingling bells tied to it. In his left hand, he carried a lantern.


The postman, A.S. Chandrashekhar, also a theatre artiste who goes by the name GPO Chandru, explained to the bemused citizens the significance behind his attire.

“When postal services were introduced in October 1854 in India, this was the uniform of postmen. With no transport facility then, the postmen would cover long distances on foot. In some places there was a relay system, where postmen would deliver letters to their colleagues to reach the final destination,” he said.
With India Post, Karnataka, celebrating Postal Week till October 15, Dinesh Khare, Deputy Chief Postmaster, Bangalore GPO, toldThe Hindu that the objective of the exercise was to showcase the journey that the Postal Department had undertaken thus far. “The postmen used to carry a spear with jingles attached to it. The spear was for protection and the bells were used to inform others of their arrival,” he said.

All India Association of Postal Supervisors: Important Amendment

Now, Newly formed POSTMASTER CADRE will also be the MEMBERS of All India Association of Postal Supervisors: Important Amendment

Some of the Important amendments to the constitution / by-laws of A.I.A.P.S.(G.L.) WERE passed unanimously during the 17th All India Conference of A.I.A.P.S. (G.L.) held at Saharanpur(U.P.) from 10-04-2011 to 12-04-2011.Two copies of the amendments are already been sent to Postal Directorate on 26 April 2011 for approval. 

The matter is under approval with Department, and in such condition neither department can refuse to approve these amendments, nor any other union or association can claim for this newly form cadre, Because, A.I.A.P.S.(GL) is the only recognized association concerns with Postal Supervisors cadre like: TBOP, BCR, LSG, HSG. As the department has dissolved TBOP/BCR and introduced MACP-I,II,III and other side, LSG/HSG postal supervisers directly promoted to new Post Master Gr-I &II basically. In such condition, MACP -II & III and also Postmaster Gr-I, II, III will be the member of this Supervisors Association only. It's very clear that the basic mother cadre for MACP-II, III and Postmaster Gr-I, II are TBOP, BCR and LSG, HSG respactively, which were already with A.I.A.P.S.GL.

Grievances and Demands of all Postmasters

Grievances and Demands of all Postmasters Submitted for  Discussion & moving resolution at IInd AIAPC Meeting at Jaipur.

  1. The Postmaster Cadre had been initially carved and created from General Line Posts by the, then DG(Posts) in good faith in Feb 2010 with  strength of establishment: PM GradeI-2097, PM GradeII-511, PM GradeIII-495,Senior PM-116 with total no of Posts-3219.
  2. The General Line officials with lots of hope had opted to Postmaster Cadre either through initial constitution or through LDCE. They are shouldering heavy work load attached with innumerous types of duties and enormous sense of Responsibilities (Direct and Indirect).
  3. Now, the real spirit and motto for which this cadre was created has vanished and all Postmasters are deprived of all future scope in various aspects.
4.   Almost all of the Officers belonging to this PM Cadre are feeling frustrated, dejected and deceived  due to stagnation and very remote chance of getting promotion in each and every stage of this Cadre from the beginning.
5.   In the Promotion lists released during June 2014 in TN Circle, for HSG-I Promotions, more than 13 Officials far juniors to me in original FTP seniority list have been promoted to HSGI.
6.    The same is the case when such promotion orders were issued for General Line officials from HSG-II to HSG-I during June 2013.  Twelve (12) junior officials in the erstwhile HSG-II combined GL, got  promoted to HSG-I during Jun 2013,  and from this list, five of the  HSG-I officials so promoted who had not opted to PM cadre initially during 2011, had opted to Postmaster Grade-III under initial constitution clause  during June 2013, became rank senior in Postmaster Grade-III, than the promotees  from PM Grade-II to PM Grade-III. This has been confirmed by issuing draft  Gradation list in  Tamilnadu Circle during Aug-2014.

7.   It is peculiar and pathetic to note that only because of giving option to PostMaster Cadre , my most juniors are getting higher Pay (Grade Pay of Rs.4600/) when compared to me ( GP Rs.4200/).Even though we say that these are different cadres, it is surely against natural justice.
8.   In the recent Gazette notification for HSGI Revised Recruitment Rules,2014 also, the total no of HSGI Posts are identified as 2154, which is substantial in number and Officials with 3 years of regular service in HSGII as on date will be easily promoted to HSGI but it is not so in the case of PM Cadre.
9.   Also, PM Cadre officials are subjected to transfers to far distance locations on promotion as number of post are minimum than the General line officials. By the recent Gazette notification for HSGI Revised Recruitment Rules,2014, the Postmaster post hitherto occupied by IP Cadre Offcials, are now thrown open to General Line officials, thereby the general line officials are better placed than Postmaster Cadre Officials.
10.  The total residency period required to reach PM Grade-III from PM-Grade-I is 11years.However to get HSG-I promotion from LSG the total residency period required is 6 years only. This is very pathetic. While Calling for options from PM cadre, the department has stated that for promotion to HSG-II and HSG-I, the residency period would be made on par with that of  PM cadre. However while notifying the Recruitment Rules for HSG-II and HSG-I, the residency period is kept as such as in old Recruitment Rules. This activity of Department is like adding fuel to fire.
