State / District / Divisional Secretaries of AIPRPA to act immediately!
Rush to the aid of Odisha State Association of AIPRPA!
The SSPOs Cuttack Division is behaving totally against the Pensioners and
shows her autocratic behaviour towards our Pensioner leader!
The 1st Phase of
agitation by the AIPRPA is over on 13th September 2019, when many States
/ Districts / Divisions conducted demonstrations and submitted a memorandum to
the Prime Minister of India through the SSPOs / SSRMs. The programme was generally
peaceful and without any untoward incidents as we the senior citizen pensioners
of Postal & RMS are not interested in escalation of any tension. The
general report is that everywhere the SSPOs / SSRPMs have supported our programme
and accepted the memorandum and forwarded it to the Honourable Prime Minister
of India. The CHQ is highly grateful to all those officers, who could
understand the feelings of the retired officials of the Postal Department. This
way, the 1st Phase is a grand success.
However, we are shocked to see
that one SSPOs is acting differently and refused to meet our AIPRPA delegation
on 13.09.2019. She did permit only the Secretary Comrade R.N.Dhal to come in
alone into her chamber to hand over the memorandum. But when he entered to
submit the memorandum she shouted in loud voice asking him to get out! The
behaviour of the SSPOs Cuttack Division is unparliamentary and boorish towards
the representative of the retired officials of the Postal Department. The
acceptance of memorandum and forwarding it to the Prime Minister would not have
hampered her great job to the nation! The District Association is launching a dharna demonstration on
20.09.2019 to protest the attitude of the SSPOs, nut permission to hold the
dharna demonstration on 20th also refused by the SSPOs. Now the
Association is in a position to launch the demonstration outside by seeking the
permission of the Police!
But not only she had behaved in
this unruly manner but we are not clear as to whether the permission to hold Dharna on 15.10.2019 at the call of the
CHQ as the third phase could be granted or not! The attitude of this single
officer in the whole of India is anti-pensioners and anti-retired employees of
Postal & RMS! A letter by the CHQ to the Secretary Department of Posts to
intervene has also been sent by email. We learn that the State Association of
Odisha also had addressed the issue to the Chief PMG for intervention. The
attitude of the SSPOs, who is a newly recruited IPOS officer, is quite shocking
to all of us; but nevertheless not altogether unexpected, as we have seen such
autocratic officers now and then during our long experience in the P&T
Trade Union movement.
The AIPRPA CHQ requests all State / District / Divisional Secretaries
to send a protest letter to the Secretary Department of Posts immediately in
the following manner in the letter pad of the State / District / Divisional
Associations. The protest letter may be either sent by email to the Secretary
(secretary-posts@indiapost.gov.in)
or by E-Post from Head Post Offices, which is very easy and economical
and can be typed in our letter pad in A4 size:
“To
The Secretary
Department
of Posts
Dak Bhawan
New Delhi
-110001
Sir,
Sub: Request to cause to rein in
the SSPOs Cuttack Division and ensure democratic practices under her
administration – regarding.
The SSPOs Cuttack Division had
behaved unparliamentarily and boorishly towards the State General Secretary and
the representative of the Odisha Postal & RMS Pensioners AIPRPA Association
on 13.09.2019 while the latter tried to submit a memorandum to the Prime
Minister through her at the call of the CHQ of our Association. The same event
throughout India was calm and peaceful while this is the only Officer who stood
out to behave like an autocratic ruler. She is forgetting the fact that showing
disrespect to the past postal employees who have rendered yeomen service for
the progress of the Postal Service is least expected from an officer under the
general dispensation of the Directorate and the Government. She is continuing
the trend and is refusing permission to hold any peaceful programme in her
campus. We pray for your kind
intervention to cause to rein in this lady officer, who is a fresh recruit and
lacks the basic knowledge of the amity that exists between the Officers and the
Association leaders in the Department of Posts generally in all places.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
______________
State / District / Divisional Secretary
