Subject: Shifting of Kalyan RMS.
Respected madam,
It has been brought to the notice of this union by the Circle Secretary R-III & R-IV Maharasthra Circle that the Admnistration has ordered shifting of entire Kalyan RMS office (i.e. Registration, Parcel, Ordinary, Mail Agency Branch & SRO) except TMO to some proposed place in the interior of Thane City near Thane H.O. in our Departmental building. It is also learnt that the shifting is to be done before 4th January, 2016. In this context the union would like to bring to your kind notice the following facts pertaining to developments near and around Kalyan RMS and benefits going to be earned by our Department through these developments in coming days. The few developments are illustrated below.
Kalyan RMS office is being conveniently located near the Central Railway corridors, which provides suburban connection to Mumbai, and inter-city connections to Post offices located in Dombilvali, Ulhasnagar, Kalyan, Ambernath, Badlapur, Karjat, and beyond. There is also a smooth passage to Panvel Stg through the Kalyan Shilphata road for faster connectivity.
The Kalyan railway station is a very important junction. From this junction, there is a bifurcation of railway lines i.e. Mumbai-Bhusawal-Nagpur line and the Mumbai-Pune line of the Central Railways. Kalyan is also known for being the Mumbai region’s exit station to North India and South India.
Moreover the distance between Kalyan RMS (which is serving delivery Post office located in and around Kalyan, Ulhasnagar, Dombivali, Ambernath, Badlapur, Kasara & beyond) and proposed place at Thane is 28 KM via NH3 Highway and will take almost 1 hour transit time for MMS Vehicle by road to reach Kalyan and later on further due transit time to reach the delivery POs.
In view of the above facts the union doesn’t find any merit in shifting of present office activities of Kalyan RMS to proposed place at Thane and further disturbing the mail agency functioning at Thane. Further shifting of Kalyan RMS to a place in Thane where already a Thane Sorting office is functioning has given rise to the apprehension of merger of both the offices in coming days as all the mail agency activities are being concentrated to the proposed office of Kalyan RMS at Thane. Possibility of such an action from the administration in future cannot be denied considering the past experiences and therefore the common interest of our staff is not protected in the said proposal and therefore the same remains insecure. Moreover when the TMO Kalyan RMS is to be retained at Kalyan Rly. Station and Department is paying the rent of this building to Railway then what is the need to shift Kalyan RMS to Thane Sorting building
We urge upon you to kindly advise CPMG Maharashtra Circle to convene a meeting with the Staff Side on this issue and drop this proposal to maintain cognizable atmosphere within the Circle.
With regards.
Yours sincerely
(Giri Raj Singh)
General Secretary
