Memo No: NFPE/Agitations/2015 dated 28.10.2015
Sub: Consideration for urgent intervention for settlement of issues related to CBS, CIS & DBT.

Sir,

The division has burning problems and your immediate intervention is requested for the settlement.

DBT:

Unmanageable workload is being experienced in sub and  branch offices of this division. It is the duty of the divisional administration to rise to the occasion and to act. The Sub Offices may be permitted to outsource the work. The BPMs are also forced to work beyond their usual working time. Therefore they may be paid some remuneration for the extra work done. These are essential as there is no other way to resolve the issue. As this is a very sensitive issue, besides public complaints, there is every possibility of experiencing untoward incidents at offices due to mass protest. We once again urge upon you to act as per the need of the time. And suitable instructions may be issued to restrict the number of DBT transactions as per the office status as deemed fit and in this regard LSG bodies may be taken into confidence. It is also suggested that an awareness programmes may be carried out among pensioners about silent features of SB accounts and its withdrawal process, through Sub Divisional Head, as done during SB canvassing.

CBS

It is known that basic amenities are still lacking for starting migration process. No fruitful training is imparted to officials of CBS designated offices. NSP2 connection is not supporting on NSP1 failures. Laser and passbook printers are not supplied to all offices. The UPS problem is a crucial issue in some offices.  The doubling of bandwidth as ordered by the directorate is seen not followed up from the division. Besides, the divisional head is not supervising the migration work and it is left to the system administrators alone.  In this circumstance, we request you to stop further migration of offices to CBS platform except the already listed offices, Ettanur, Mannapra and Pallippuram till the basic amenities, as detailed below, are provided and workable training is imparted.


1)      Purposeful training to officials at least for 1 week.
2)      NSP 1 and NPS 2 connectivity.
3)     Presence of Divisional Head or an Officer in IP/ASP rank during the entire migration process and they should counter sign in the Sign Off reports
4)     Proper UPS backup.
5)     Enhancement of Sify bandwidth as approved by Dte.

CIS
We are shocked to understand that McCamish software is commissioned in the SOs under Alatur HO in the last week of the month that too without giving any sufficient training. We request you to impart training at WCTC or at SOs immediately utilizing the service of the WCTC trainer. The staff may be asked to operate only after formal or informal training. Till that time, acceptance of premium may be suspended in CIS offices. The default fee may be condoned for the time being.

Canvassing of SB Accounts:

 In this grave situation of DBT and pre migratory activities, the divisional administration is compelling SPMs to do house to house campaign and to collect new SB accounts. It is hereby brought to your notice that we are not in a position to do that work at present and the administration should stop such untimely compelling hence forth.

It is our belief that the divisional administration will act in a befitting manner to resolve these issues. We, the grass root level link, facing the public and experiencing the difficulties due to lack of amenities, share our concerns with you and it is your responsibility to settle the issues. It is our hope that the administration will be wise enough to hear us and judiciously.

Yours faithfully

Memorandum submitted to the Sr.Supdt. of Post offices ,Palakkad Division on 10TH September 2015

PALAKKAD DIVISION, PALAKKAD 678001
 ----------                          Dated at Palakkad 678001 the 10THSeptember 2015

Memorandum submitted to the Sr.Supdt. of Post offices ,Palakkad Division ,Palakkad 678001

Sir,

The situation in post offices has snowballed into a worse scenario now especially due to the over work done due to DBT pensions. There are problems in   infrastructure for the smooth functioning of the offices .Hence we invite your kind attention to the following issues.
Problem generated after introduction of DBT of Social Security Pensions

               As you know, our PMs / SPMs are now facing much difficulties in post offices after the roll out of Welfare pensions as DBT and employees of this division are striving  hard to carry out  the herculean task of pension disbursement. Many branch offices are utilizing the services of outsiders in this disbursement process, in addition to their laborious work. Crowd management has been a new issue this time. The praiseworthy social outlook and the propensity to work hard demonstrated by our staff in this daunting time was the only reason for the lack of major complaints from the general public and the peoples’ representatives. Many of the offices are now working up to 09.30 pm due to work load of DBT. This includes our low paid GDS officials working in BOs / SOs.            



          The wholehearted and sincere involvement of our staff should be highly appreciated. Besides, all the officials involved in this activity including poor GDS staff should be suitably remunerated based on the quantum of their disbursement work. Our view that, though we have successfully completed almost all the DBT work in our division as a special case during this festive season, it will be impossible to carry out such work in the same manner in future. This has severely affected our other services and business activities, by which probably our income during the period might have considerably been reduced. Therefore re–introduction of old arrangement for welfare pension payments such as EMO etc. may be explored.
Building cases

 Immediate repair to the following departmental buildings.

  Postal Staff quarters at Palakkad
  Kavasseri PO building
  Vandithavalam PO Building
  Kollengode PO building

Immediate attention to the problems of rented buildings of following Pos.

  Kunnathurmedu, Palakkad Fort, Koduvayur

Technological issues prevailing in Pos

            This issue has been brought to your notice several times. But no positive result has emerged  yet. A number of major offices in our division are running with outdated systems, printers and UPS. Therefore we unions urge upon the Divisional administration to take up the matter. Supply of new UPSs / Printers / Systems etc to all the needy offices may be considered. Some of the issues which require attention on priority are given below:

  UPS issue at Thattamangalam, Perinkulam and Mudappalur.


Reduction of TRCA in case of BPMs

            Our memorandum dated 18.06.15 has already requested you to re consider the reductions cases of our fellow GDS BPMs. But it is seen that no remedial action has been materialised. Therefore, we demand you to kindly stop the reduction of TRCA of BPMs.  The case of Sri. K Sivadasan, GDS BPM, Kollengode West, Kollengode is an example.

                
We look for kind immediate action.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
