0 This time,Inspector Posts Medak North was made scapegoat


We had the past experience with the Administration that whenever a fraud case of high volume came to light, they will fall on the Sub Divisional IP/ASP concerned first even before initiating action on the staff directly contributed to the fraud at down level. Example, Inspector Posts Ramachandrapuram Sub Dn was kept under suspension on the charges of contributory negligence when frauds committed by SPM  MIG Colony-RC Puram  SO of Sangareddy Dn came to light in the year 2007.

Same story repeated now in the same region. SPM Machavaram C class  SO of Medak Dn has involved in  frauds to a tune of more than one crore in silent SB accounts. The modusoperandi is making entries of fictitious deposits in concerned SO ledger cards of silent SB accounts, Posting the same fictitious deposit entries in HO records also by trespassing Sanchaya post pacakage in HO computers and withdrawing the amounts later on at SO. The Official joined at the SO on 01-06-2010 and the frauds commenced on 12-08-2010. The fraud came to light on 30-05-2011 and the SPM is at large from 31-05-2011.
But, the administration enthusiastically kept the Inspector Posts Medak North sub Dn under suspension today, may be on same old reasons of “contributory negligence” unmindful of the conditions governing the “Suspension”. We are taking stock of the situation and will put efforts through the available channels to do justice to our member.

0 OPTIMIZATION OR LIQUIDATION?

 The Mail Network Optimization Project (MNOP) has become Mail Network Liquidation Project (MNLP). Implementation of the "Speed Post hub" experiment has resulted in reducing 315 National Speed Post Centres to 89 speed post hubs.  Introduction of the "First Class Mail hubs" will result in gradual extinction of 366 RMS Mail Sorting Offices.  Delivery hubs will further result in withdrawal of delivery from hundreds of Urban Post Offices.  The proposed closure or merger of 9797 urban Post offices will sound the death-knell of Post services.  Is it optimization or liquidation?
            Department of Posts is paying Consultancy fees to Mckinsey and Mckinsey is not paying any money to the INDIA POST.  But the Mckinsey is behaving as if they have purchased the INDIA POST and are the real owner of it.  They are passing orders to the employees above the head of departmental officers.  Even Heads of Circles are bound to obey Mckinsey.  Voice of the    right-thinking employees and officers are suppressed and only those support Mckinsey are allowed to run the show.
            Creation of hubs has resulted in abnormal delay in conveyance and delivery of speed post articles and everywhere back-routing is taking place.  Even articles meant for local delivery are unnecessarily despatched to the hubs situated hundreds of miles away and from there again back-routed to the delivery Post offices causing avoidable delay. Speed post has lost its speed and the faith of public in this premium services has been shaken.  Number of articles and revenue has come down.  Still the authorities blindly go on repeating that it is a great success.  It is just like "operation is successful, but the patient died".  The introduction of the first class mails hubs and delivery hubs will be the "beginning of the demise of the Postal Services in India".

Ref:- Postal Directorate No. 4-12/2009-PCC dated 22-03-2010

Respected Madam,

Your kind attention is invited to our letter of even no. dated 23.12.2010 (copy enclosed) on the subject mentioned above.

This issue is pending since November 2009 and we have taken up the above matter with the Department repeatedly and also held informal meetings with the DDG (Estt.). We have also taken up this issue as an item in the agenda for periodical meeting. Unfortunately, no meeting has been conducted by the Department. However, the Department is holding regular meetings with the Postal JCA comprising NFPE, FNPO and GDS Unions. We have also requested to your goodself by our letter dated 31.05.2011 for grant of personal interview to discuss our long pending genuine demands but the same has not been granted so far. This is very crucial and important issue agitating the minds of our members and there is a great resentment among them.

Association gave its proposal in writing for merger of the post of Inspector, Posts & Assistant Superintendent, Posts and designating the merged post as Inspector, Posts or Assistant Superintendent, Posts as may be decided by the Department but retaining the Gazetted status to the existing incumbents in Assistant Superintendent, Posts grade till their promotion / retirement.

Sub: Redesignation of 141 posts of HSG-I IP Line as Asstt. Superintendent Posts.

Respected Madam,

Your goodself is well aware that 141 posts of HSG-I in Postal Wing through out the country belong to IP Line officials. You are also well aware that post of HSG-I IP Line / ASP are promotional posts for Inspectors Posts. ASPs holding the posts of HSG-I are in gazetted status whereas General Line officials holding the posts of HSG-I are in non-gazetted status.

Service Unions representing General Line officials in HSG-I are demanding that 141 posts of HSG-I IP Line may be transferred to General Line to increase their promotional avenue. Their demand is not justified consequent upon introduction of Postmaster cadre in Postal Wing as their promotional avenues have already been increased.

In view of above facts, our Association urges upon the Department that 141 posts of HSG-I IP Line may be re-designated as "Assistant Superintendent Posts" in order to differenciate between HSG-I IP Line officials and HSG-I General Line officials as there is no financial implications.

With regards,

Yours sincerely,
