PROTEST & PROTECT OLAVAKKODE HPO FROM DOWNGRADATION

Olavakode Post Office was upgraded to the Status of HPO about 20 years back considering the development and need of the public in the area those days!!!






Now Olavakkode has become a hub of business and developmental activities. Being a point of entry and exit to Palakakd town, the locality is fast improving in habitat and infrastructure.






It is at this fast changing scenario that the Departmet of Posts - Or perhaps the Managers of Department of Posts initiate action to downgrade the Olavakkode HPO to the status of a Sub Office stating the reason that Railway Mail Service functioning in the Railway percincts is required to be relocated to the HPO building!!!!






By this wise (or deviced!!!) move, the Department's contention is that it can save RENT !!!






and the consequences ................?????






- RMS - which is supposed to function in close proximity of Rly Station will be moved almost one kilometer away






- In the fast moving business oriented mail movement strategy mails are to be carried from a distant sorting place to the Rly stn through a heavy trafficked area crossing two traffic juntions!!!






- The bag movement synchronization will be put at wit !!!






- If HO is downgraded to an SO or for that matter an MDG - a number of EDSOs also affect downgradation.






- The staff strength currently placed at Olavakkode HO will be scrambled causing great discomfort to the workers.






- Downsizing in staff strength of GD (ED) category - rendering them jobless and subsequent ordeal.






- - The Public of the locality would be deprived of the services extended by HPO - in the fast changing socio economic scanario of the town like Olavakkode.






NFPE STRONGLY PROTEST SUCH RETROGRADE STEPS TAKEN BY THE OFFICERS OF DEPT OF POSTS AND REQUEST ALL COMRADES TO JOIN HANDS TO FIGHT FOR THIS CAUSE...

but the behaviour of staff in pension section is very hostile. they refused my father's additional pension payable to aged pensioners which comes to Rs73,619/- They have no idea of payment of pension. Very hosile behaviour. since it is a govt establishment they are doing like this. Olavakkot h.p.o should be downgarded immediately and all lazy staff should be trfd to remote areas

what mr.gopan said is 100% correct. during aril, i witnessed a scene. one lady a gazetted officer in state govt came and complained that her father a rly pension above 86 yrs is not getting additional pension effected in pay commn about rs.2600w.e.f 1/1/06. the lady clerk dealing pension blindly refused to hear anything and said what all they done is correct. the post master was also helpless. why the dept is tolerating these useless staff. there is sub post office at kavilpad 2 kms away from olavakkot. another lady who is in chaarge is coming only after 9.30 am to open the office. all have to wait patiently outside. kindly close the office and merge it with olavakkot and privatise olavakkot immediately
