Request for issue of advisory to circles for adhering GOI instructions for
occupational safety of Divisional Heads including the grant of leave or work from
home norms.
Respected
Sir,
Postal Officer Association like to
bring to your kind notice towards the oppressive instructions issued by CPMG Karnataka
Circle asking divisional heads to report for HQ on Monday without showing any
excuse or applying for leave. Such type
of callous and inhuman orders demonstrate total disregards to the GOI
instructions contained in DoPT office memorandum no. 11013/9/2014-Estt (A-III)ND
dated 20-3-2020 wherein relaxation in CCS (Leave) Rules, 1972 to grant Commuted
Leave without production of a medical certificate to the officers above 50 years
of age are there.
Sir, it is a fact that more than 70 % of the divisional
heads have already crossed 55 years of age and prone to infection due to
chronic diseases, they already facing. Moreover,
many of the divisional heads are away from their home and family as such
totally dependent on restaurants/ Dhabas for the dietaries which are closed due
to total lockdown /curfew. How they will manage all things is nobodies’
priority but unfortunately denying leave is the priority for officers sitting
at the helm of affair. So much so leave of
Chief Postmaster Anna
Road, Chennai who is also our President was not extended through he
was on leave with valid permission to leave the station. Moreover, he had applied
for an extension of leave on health grounds and compelling circumstances arrived due
to complete shutdown and keeping in mind that older people with chronic diseases are at higher risk for COVID-19.
The association has a reservation on such inhuman acts of the
administrations and compelling us to show insubordinations.
Sir, you will also agree that local administration is not
allowing even to leave home for rations due to fear of spreading infection but
our officers have no regard to the words/ repeated requests of our Hon’ble
Prime Minister. Due to curfew restrictions in some circles, Local district
administration is not allowing to open Post offices for any kind of work. Limited
timing for the sale of vegetables and opening of grocery shops has been set by the
administration and nobody is allowed to move without valid passes which are made for a limited period and time. Under such circumstances what type of work the CPMG/
DPS will take from divisional heads is another question..
The association condemn this type of non-cooperative the attitude of the CPMG Karnataka/ Tamil Nadu and request your kind honour to take stock of the situation and issue
instructions to the all the CPMGs to sanction leave to all the divisional heads
covered under the rules or work from home as per the directive of DoPT. This will help
a long way to save society as a whole from the spread of the Virus in our
beloved country. The most important factor in preventing the spread of the
Virus locally is to support all and sundry and advice taking precautions as per
the advisories issued by GOI and not settle ones’ ego. The association
assured your honour that once our country comes out of this traumatic stage,
our members will again evolve themselves in the progress of department and
country.
With warm regards
Yours
sincerely,
