Dear Comrades,
As you know, we have severally approached to our Circle head to appraise
the State Election Commission and to our CHQ to write to the Directorate
requesting the Secretary (Posts) to appraise the Election Commission of India to
exempt the postal employees from election duty. In this regard this Circle
Union letter No. P3NFPE-Odisha/06 - 09/2018, dated 10.09.2018
and No. P3NFPE-Odisha/02 - 02/2019, dated 15.02.2019
may be seen already produced in the website elsewhere.
This apart, as per facts and figures available with us, we discussed the
issue on 18.02.2019 in the last four monthly meeting with Chief PMG, Odisha
Circle who took a serious note of it and
directed the DPS(HQ), Bhubaneswar to contact the State Election Commission in
person to appraise him the actual difficulty in relieving huge number of postal
employees from operational side which may lead to closure of post offices and
Circle administration is not in favour of closing post offices for election
duty which will directly affect the public service also.
Accordingly, as ascertained over phone from the DPS(HQ), on 20.02.2019, he
personally met the State Election Commission who could be convinced and asked
the postal administration to write them accordingly so that they may consider exemption
of postal employees from election duty to the maximum extent possible.
As assured by DPS(HQ) to this Circle Secretary, a letter is being issued
today (20.02.2019) to all Divisional / Unit heads directing them to meet their
respective District Election Officers and
appraise the problems accordingly with request for exemption.
Let’s hope for the best.
