Regarding the request for relocation mail exchange at the mail exchange centre (Nagpur GPO) from the Butibori trans-shipment centre.

To,
The Chief Postmaster General
Maharashtra Circle,
Mumbai 400001
Sub: Regarding the request for
relocation mail exchange at the mail exchange centre (Nagpur GPO) from the Butibori
trans-shipment centre.
Respected sir,
This
is in continuation of this union letter dated 16.07.2023, regarding the request to defer
the proposal of shifting mail exchange from the existing mail exchange centre
to the Butibori trans-shipment centre.
It has been brought
to notice of this union that the administration has shifted that mail exchange
centre, Nagpur GPO to the Butibori trans-shipment centre without considering
the suggestions given by the local union as well as circle union. This union
highly condemns the move of the administration for ignorance of the justified
demands of the staff side.
Your honour may
please consider the following issues raised by the staff union and relocate the
transhipment centre at Nagpur GPO Premises.
- Even
though the area of the Butibori Transshipment Centre is 6875.75 sq.
ft., the transshipment centre is established or divided into two
floors, and the existing temporary shade at Nagpur GPO is about 5000 sq.
ft. At the time of the heavy workload, the existing space became short to
keep mail until the arrival of the next RTN for loading or consignment of
mail.
- It
is not understood how the department is of the opinion that about 3000
bags can be accommodated in the small operative space on the ground floor
established for the shelter of mail and dispatch for zones attached to
AIRTNs. Whether the department is going to keep mail on the first floor or
otherwise, it is not clear what arrangements have been made for the
conveyance of mail from the ground floor to the first floor and then again
from the first floor to the ground floor. Can the rehandling of mail in
this situation be protected from any damages of public mail or otherwise?
Whether there is saving of manpower towards conveyance of mail or manpower
will increase due to rehandling?
- Nagpur
is the centre of India, and mail from Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and
Bangalore is being exchanged at Nagpur. Since the implementation of the
RTN policy, work at R'TN Nagpur point is increasing day by day, and mail
has to be cleared on the same day without any pendency. It is also the
responsibility of our department to ensure the safety of public mail from
natural calamities like heavy rain, unseasonal rain, storms, and traffic
problems that always delay RTN vehicles. We also keep the excessive mail
left over until the next arrival of RTNs or mail arrangements. The
existing space of the Butibori Transhipment Centre could not manage the
workload , for smooth functioning of RTN work at Butibori, about 10,000
square feet of continuous building area in addition to sufficient space
for conveyance of RTN vehicles are required,
- The
project is totally new, and there is a need to redeploy staff to manage
the work, but the staff establishment is not yet decided by the
department, and it is highly impossible to manage the work from the HRO
office, which is situated in Nagpur GPO, and the transshipment centre,
which is 35 km away from the record office.
·
The justified
manpower (1 HSG-1, 3LSG, 18 SA, and 51 MTS) are required to be posted for the
individual functioning of Transshipment centre. But no separate establishment
is being identified for the same.
- At
Nagpur GPO points, if the flow of mail is increased, then said mail can be
dispatched through other modes like the RMS section, air, or extra
engagement of the MMS schedule, but if the work of RTN is shifted to
Butibori, the same cannot be done.
- It
was suggested by the local union that the Butibori building may be used
for any other departmental project, and a suitable transshipment ship
centre may please be developed at Nagpur GPO premises.
This union is
not opposing any move to expand the business of the department, but in order to
ensure the efficient and effective operation of mail exchange throughout India,
it is requested that shifting of mail exchange from the current mail exchange
centre to the Butibori trans-shipment centre be reviewed and relocated to
Nagpur GPO premises for safety, security, and speedy dispatch of public mail.
We would greatly appreciate a response to this.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,

Regarding request for filling up of vacant posts in HSG-II cadre from general line as well as accounts line.

Regarding request
for filling up of vacant posts in HSG-II cadre from general line as well as
accounts line.
Ref : Directorate No. X-4/2/2020-SPN-II dated
09-02-2024
Respected sir,
This
is regarding the request for filling up of vacant posts in the HSG-II cadre
from the general line as well as the accounts line.
Your Honour is well aware
that our circle has an acute shortage of HSG-I and HSG-II due to the
non-availability of incumbents, and work is being managed by the LSG officials
or the senior most officials from the SA cadre
The directorate has now
given permission to fill up the posts of HSG-II cadre by relaxing the rulings
on the subject. It has brought to notice of this union that there are eligible LSG
(NB) officials from the accounts line who are available to fill the posts of
HSG-II cadre who have completed the minimum requirement of service required for
the HSG-II posts, and HSG-II posts in all HROs have remained vacant for a long
time and are waiting for filling up and being manned from the acoountants or the
staff from mail offices..
Due to vacancies at HROs in the Maharashtra Circle,
suitable LSG (NB) personnel from the account line are not only deprived of the
chance to progress to HSG-II, but they are also deprived of the chance to
advance to higher cadres. They are treated unfairly by this. This union is
aware of no restriction on the promotion of accounts line (LSG (NB)) candidates
to HSG-II cadre. Why our circle is not holding the DPC accountable for
selecting LSG (NB) officials who meet the qualifications to fill HSG-II
positions is a mystery. If you need any clarification regarding filling HSG-II vacancies
in HROs from eligible LSG (NB) accounts line, please get in touch with the
directorate; nevertheless, please do not mistreat the eligible staff.
Your Honour is requested to
convey the DPC for promotion in HSG-II cadre for smooth funtioning of
administrative work of DDOs offices as well as mail offices. I will be
eternally grateful to you for doing the needful. Your positive response in this
regard would be greatly appreciated.
With
regards,
Yours
Sincerely,

Regarding proposal of re-organization of sections in train number 12779/80 (Delhi Goa Express): unwarranted proposal of merger of L6 with MP 33 Section.
No. AIRMSMMS/MH/RIII/Merger MP33-L6/02/2024-25 Date: 25.04.2024
To,
The Chief Postmaster General
Maharashtra Circle,
Mumbai 400001
Subject:
- Regarding proposal of
re-organization of sections in train number 12779/80 (Delhi Goa Express):
unwarranted proposal of merger of L6 with MP 33 Section.
Respected Sir,
This is in continuation of this union
communication dated March 14, 2024, on the subject cited above. It has been
learned that the MP circle has given a conditional positive reply for the
merger of the L6 section with the MP33 section without considering the nature
of work on the subject. While giving positive reply from above Circle they have
given reason that there is suffficinet rest will be available at Rest House
Pune by ignoring the continuous working capacity of human being. The continuous
working on running section more than 14 hours in inhumane and against the
physical capacity as well as against nature.
It has been learned that the MP Circle has demanded that
6 SAs, 3 Mail Guards, and 6 MTS be redeployed from the RMS L Division,
Bhusawal, to the MP Circle for the same. In this regard, it is brought to your
attention that the RMS L Division is facing an acute shortage of manpower after
the implementation of One India, One Parcel and the increased mail volume of
premier products like Speed Post and BNPL in the Aurangabad region. A proposal
for the redeployment of staff to the Aurangabad RMS to cope with the workload
is pending at the Circle office for administrative approval. If we need
manpower for the smooth functioning of mail offices at L Division Bhusawal,
then it is unfair to redeploy the manpower to another circle when our circle
needs manpower for the smooth functioning of mail offices in our circle.
In this regard, Your
Honours kind attendance is invited on the proposal moved by this union in previous
communication dated March 14, 2024 that “it
is suggested that the sectional beat from Bhusawal to Bhopal and vice versa can
be attached to the RMS ‘L’ Division section with a direct beat from Bhusawal to
Bhopal in 3-sets by the introduction of a new section in place of MP-33 with a
proper arrangement of a rest house and other facilities at Bhopal. In the
recent scenario, 3-Stg. Asst. of L-12 section is declared surplus because it is
declared as MG Set by discontinuation of L-33 section. Therefore, the staff of
HRO, RMS ‘L’ Division, is ready to run the sections from Bhusawal to Bhopal in
3-sets, for which posts are already available with the establishment of this
division.”
If the above proposal is
implemented, then our circle will fully monitor and keep a vigil watch on the
section without any disturbance. Only staff will be exchanged at Bhusawal
Point, and there is no need to redeploy staff from MP Circle to our Circle, and
there is no need for the merger of the L-6 section with MP-33 (MP Division,
Bhopal). The staff of L
Division will run the section from Bhopal to Bhusawal to Pune and vice versa,
with an arrangement for staff exchange at Bhusawal. It is also beneficial to
keep vigilant watch as well as mail monitoring within a circle instead of depending
on other circles to solve any further complications regarding changes in mail
arrangements and public complaints, if any.”
The staff sides strongly
condemn and oppose the merger of sections over Goa Nizamuddin Express and over
the sectional route of Maharashtra Circle to MP Circle, as well as the
redeployment of any staff from L Division when our circle is needed for the
smooth functioning of mail offices in our circle. We are ready to run the above
section through the staff of RMS L Division with an arrangement of staff
exchange at Bhusawal Point without redeployment of staff from MP Circle.
Since the directorate has
invited comments and feedback from the Circle office on the above proposal for
the merger of sections L6 into MP33, Your Honour is requested to consider the
proposal given by this union to run the section by the staff of RMS L Division
from Bhopal to Busawal to Pune and vice versa with exchange the staff at
Bhusawal point and convey the say of the staff side at the appropriate level to
avoid resentment among the staff and maintain a peaceful atmosphere in
Maharashtra Circle.

regards,
Yours Sincerely,
