Letter No-UN/AIPEU,Gr-C/Odisha/09-2013 Dated-30-09-2013.
To,
Sri Tilak De, IPoS.
Chief Post Master General,
Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar-751007.
Sub- Irregular declaration of Holiday on Mahasaptami (Dated-11-10-2013) instead of Mahastami (Dated-12-10-2013) for the ensuing year-2013, ignoring importance of festive occasion Mahastami and putting the operative staff to sheer discrimination- request for declaration of substitute holiday on Mahastami, dated-12-10-2013 to operative staff as per power delegated to Circle Head by the Directorate.
Ref- Minutes of the RJCM Meeting held on 19-07-2013 agenda item No. 4-07/2013.
Respected Sir,
This union wants to draw the kind attention to the reply given against the above agenda item of RJCM Meeting held on 19-07-2013 wherein it was stated that instructions issued vide Directorate letter no 21-1/2002-PE-II dated 27-08-2002 as pointed by the staff side would be examined. As no development is found on the very issue and the Dusshera holidays are approaching, it is requested for immediate action.
It is to submit again that in all other Central Govt establishments lying at Bhubaneswar, no operative wings are available except in Postal Department. The CGEWCC, Bhubaneswar is always taking one sided action favouring the Administrative office staffs in selecting holidays, falling on Friday or Monday to get three consecutive holidays without giving weightage the importance of holiday. Mahastami is bearing more importance during festive occasion in Dusshera in Odisha State than the Mahasaptami, but the same is not declared as holiday due to the reason of falling of Mahasaptami on Friday and on its declaration as holiday will fetch three consecutive holidays for administrative offices. As such, the staffs of operative offices available only in Postal Department will face the deprivation of getting two consecutive holidays on 12-10-2013 (Saturday) & 13-10-2013 (Sunday). Mahastami was declared as holiday always before last two years in the holiday list and the deviation caused for the last two years.
Instructions have been issued vide Directorate letter no 21-1/2002-PE-II dated 27-08-2002, delegating power to the Circle Heads to declare a substitute holiday, falling on Saturday for operative offices in lieu of holiday declared in the holiday list as per selection of CGEWCC. It was reiterated that this declaration of holiday may be done under intimation to CGEWCC. As Mahastami is falling on dated 12-10-2013 (Saturday) it may be declared as substitute holiday for operative offices in Odisha Circle in lieu of Mahasaptami holiday on 11-10-2013 (Friday).
On the circumstance, it is earnestly requested to kindly examine the Directorate’s instructions on the above subject and action may kindly be taken for declaration of substitute holiday on 12-10-2013 for operative offices to avert strong resentment of all operative staff in the entire circle.
EARLY RESPONSE AND A LINE OF REPLY IN THE MATTER IS SOLICITED.
WITH DEEP REGARDS.
Yours faithfully
(R.C.Mishra)
Circle Secretary.
