Sub:  Regarding merger of Thane Stg. Office with Kalyan RMS at Thane.

Ref: ADPS (Mails) C.O. Mumbai No. Mails/RMS office/Merger-Closure/2017 dated 18-04-2017

 Respected Sir,

          With reference to your above cited letter on the even subject. It is observed that the administration has taken steps since last one year for the systematic closure/ abolition of Thane Sorting or Kalyan RMS. Hence, we strongly protest for the abolition of Thane Sorting or Kalyan RMS as the case may be. As the one mail office is being functioning at another city is not understandable and it seems it is closure or abolition of one RMS office.   But since the administration has sought the views from union, hence this union would like to submit the following views/demands for your kind consideration while finalising the merger of Thane Sorting with Kalyan RMS at Thane.

  1. There is one post of SRO (HSG-II) in Thane Sorting and one tenure post of OA in SRO Thane Sorting. The SRO (HSG-II) is a promotional post for our Group-C and the same needs to be redeployed after merger for its optimum utilisation. Our Divisional Union of Central Sorting Division, Mumbai is continuously requesting the Divisional administration to provide one SRO at Sion TMO office to look after the operational & service related issues of the staff working in Sion TMO Office. Presently there are approx. 50 number of Staff (both Gr-C & MTS) working in Sion TMO and hence it is requested to kindly create new establishment of SRO Sion TMO instead of merging of SRO Thane into Kalyan RMS redeploy the post of SRO (HSG-II) alongwith one OA to Sion TMO office during merger.
  2. Secondly, the additional post of OA may be redeployed to SRO, Kalyan RMS at Thane to manage the additional work load.
  3. One Post Office Extension Counter was attached to Thane Sorting office which may kindly be surrendered to Thane Central Division as the building is to be vacated post-merger.
  4. One Gr-C staff is also provided from Thane Sorting to Thane BPC and 2 Gr-C staffs are provided from Kalyan RMS at Thane to Kalyan BPC. With the merger, the work load of Kalyan RMS at Thane is going to increase considerably. Hence this union requests to withdraw the staff from both the BPCs and provide the same to Kalyan RMS at Thane. This union would also like to point out that few of the Postal Assistants are working on deputation in Central Sorting Division which may be redeployed to both the BPC for causing relief arrangement of our Gr-C staff.
  5. All the Gr-C & MTS staff of Thane Sorting should be attached to Kalyan RMS at Thane post merger.
  6. The merger of Thane Sorting with Kalyan RMS at Thane should cause some relief to the staff and for this some of the long pending Rule-38 cases of Central Sorting Division should be cleared and necessary orders for relieving the concerned staff should be issued.
  7. The MGMMT on the Mail Motor Trips (i.e. KY-2, KY-3, KY-4, KY-5 and KY-8) are presently provided by Thane Central Division (i.e. the Postal Division). Whereas the MGMMT for K-1 & K-3 Trips are provided by Thane Sorting Office (i.e. RMS office). After merger it is requested to kindly arrange deployment of MGMMT on all the Mail Motor Trips attached to Kalyan RMS at Thane from SRO Kalyan RMS at Thane so as enable uniform control on all the Mail Motor Trips and optimum utilisation of existing manpower.
  8. With merger, this union requests to attach the work of registered mail pertaining to Thane district/ TSO to CRC Kalyan RMS/ PH Kalyan RMS at Thane which is presently being done at CRC Mumbai/PH Mumbai.

This union hopes for positive consideration of above views/demands while finalising the merger of Thane Sorting Office with Kalyan RMS at Thane.

With warm regards,

Yours faithfully
