Sub:
Manning of TVP Sections in West Bengal Circle.
Respected Sir,
Kindly
recall our discussion had with you on 23/12/2013 regarding the functioning of
TVP Sections as started/ initiated by the Circle authority since September,
2013. The matter was brought to your kind notice that without taking approval
from the Railway Authority Department started the functioning of TVP.
So
far report received by the Circle Union that the TVP are carrying a good number
of Bags causes a misunderstanding with the passenger travelling in the same compartment.
While travelling by train purchasing daily ticket/ Session ticket there is a
norms prescribed by the Railway Authority for carrying of articles. But, the
employees are compelled to carry the Mails more than the specified weight as
prescribed by the railway authority.
If
you kindly remember at the time of discussion it was mentioned that for quicker
disposal of Speed Post article and Registered articles- the functioning of TVP
is essential on the part of Department. The views of the Department cannot be
denied by us, but without maintaining any formalities it was introduced
hurriedly. So under these circumstances we earnestly request you to take the
necessary steps-
1) Necessary permission of the Railway Authority
are required immediately for the safety and security of the staff as well as
the public Mails.
2) Necessary orders are required for carrying of
Mails up to the weight limit prescribed by the Railway Authority to avoid the harassment
of the Staff.
At the time
of discussion it was assured that the only Speed and Registered Bags will be
carried by the TVP from one end to other and as the person who carrying the
mails with the train purchasing the Daily ticket/ Season ticket the prescribed
weight norms should be restricted as maintained by the Railway Authority. It
was also assured the necessary instruction will be issued from your good
offices.
Sir, in this connection we would like to
inform you that, the Staff are compelled to perform the irregular job forced by
the Departmental Authority. So we request you rest of the Bags (excluding Speed
and Registered) to be routed through the other channel of communications.
We expect
that you will keep your words and issue the necessary instruction without least
delay.
A line of
reply as action taken is highly solicited.
Thanking
you,
