The Chief Postmaster General
Maharashtra Circle,

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.
With
regards,
Yours Sincerely,
