Kolkata- 700012.

Sub: Resolutions adopted in the 33rd Biennial Circle Conference held at Howrah on & from 6th February, 2014.

Respected Sir,
                   I, on behalf of this service union like to draw your kind attention to the following resolutions adopted in the 33rd Biennial Circle Conference held at Howrah on and from 6th February, 2014 and hope for your positive approach towards the solution of the problems.

Resolution No.1 : Abolition/ Closure/ Merger of the Sets/ Sections.
          The 33rd Biennial Circle Conference notes with deep concern that, the circle Administration is marching forward towards abolition/ merger of various RMS Mail Offices and Sections without any discussion with the Staff Side or bringing the Staff Side in confidence. Consequent on such unilateral decision on the part of the authority the staff resentment is cropping up. This conference, therefore, urges upon the Authority to stop such unilateral move in order to maintain the congenial atmosphere in the Department.

Resolution No.2: Reduction of Staff strength in the name of review.
          The 33rd Biennial Circle Conference notes with deep concern that, the circle Administration is marching forward towards reduction of Staff Strength in different offices e.g. D.O./ H.R.O./ A.H.R.O./ S.R.O. in the name of so called review without taking into consideration the different elements of works which are to be included in calculating the working hours. This conference, therefore, urges upon the Authority to stop such unscientific and irrational review and demands discussion with the Staff side before taking such sort of measure relating to Staff interest.

Resolution No.3: Repair/ Renovation of RMS Mail Offices and Rest Houses.
          The 33rd Biennial Circle Conference notes with much displeasure that, the most of the RMS offices and Rest Houses situated at Railway Rented building as well as Departmental Building are in wretched condition e.g. Ranaghat RMS, Kharagpur RMS, Bankura RMS, Siliguri RMS, Dum Dum P.O. Building, RLO Building etc. Roofs and walls are damaged. Rain water pours from the roof. Chunks of concrete hang from the roof. Workers are to perform duties taking life risk. Any mishap may take place at any time. Even there is no arrangement for toilet in many offices. In a word there is no workable condition at all in most of the RMS offices. Same condition lies in the Rest Houses. This conference, therefore, demands repair/ renovation of those RMS offices and rest houses on war footing measure.

Resolution No.4: Sending back of officials of Kolkata RMS officials attached with Kolkata AP Stg. Division.
          The 33rd Biennial Circle Conference urges upon the Authority to take immediate steps for sending back the officials of Kolkata RMS Division, presently attached to Kolkata AP Stg. Division, to their parent division considering the hazards and difficulties faced by those officials.

Resolution No.5: Provision of proper infrastructure at newly opened Parcel HUBs in different offices.
          The 33rd Biennial Circle Conference notes with much displeasure that, the Authority has introduced Parcel Hubs without providing proper infrastructure. Such abrupt steps without providing working atmosphere with minimum requirement have caused much resentment amongst the Staff. This conference, therefore, urges upon the Authority to provide proper infrastructure without any delay for smooth functioning of the newly introduced Parcel Hubs.

Resolution No.6: Betterment of the P&T residential quarters.
          The 33rd Biennial Circle Conference observes with deep concern that, the P&T residential quarters are in so wretched condition that the employees residing at the quarters suffer much trouble. Maintenance are not regular. Administration is quite reluctant to keep the quarters suitable for residence. The situation is becoming worse day after day due to carelessness on the part of the Administration. This conference demands proper maintenance and up-liftment of the P&T quarters for the sake of creating safe, secured and comfortable atmosphere in the residential complex.

Resolution No.7: Withdrawal of the order of Merger of RP Stg and TD RP with newly created Parcel Hub at Kolkata RMS Dn.
          The 33rd Biennial Circle Conference notes with deep concern that, in the name of MNOP, RP Stg. of Kolkata RMS has been merged quite unilaterally ignoring the Staff interest and the interest of the public mails as well. This conference, therefore, demands restoration of Kolkata RP Sorting and TD RP with separate entity as before.
  
          Your views and steps taken towards the solution of the issues may kindly be communicated.

          Thanking you, 

                                                                             Yours faithfully,

                                                                              (Aparesh Lahiri)
