Sub:    Repairing/maintenance and construction of boundary wall of Sahadevkhunta Postal Colony and Divisional Office Balasore

Respected Sir,

            This is to bring to your kind notice that during the CWC Meeting of AIPEU, Group-C, Odisha Circle held in Balasore from 21.09.2018 to 23.09.2018, we had organized “Swachhata Hi Sewa” programme on 23.09.2018 in Sahadevkhunta Postal Colony, Balasore. The Circle Union team became surprised to notice the dilapidated condition of all the 40 (16 Type-III and 24 Type-II) staff quarters without civil and electrical maintenance for years together including the unhygienic condition around.

            Most regretfully, the colony is adjacent to the office of the SPOs, Balasore Division which is seen to be situated inside a garbage yard. Both the Postal Colony and the Divisional Office are surrounded by marshland full of wild plants and bushes especially herbaceous plants, the breeding heaven of mosquitoes.

            While both the Divisional Office and the Postal Colony have no boundary walls, there is a public road inside the colony area. Concrete slabs are continuously falling from the roofs of the staff quarters posing threat to the lives of the occupants. While our team was undertaking the cleanliness drive, we witnessed such occurrences twice within a period of one hour only.  Some photographs of the quarters, Divisional Office and surroundings are submitted here with for kind perusal.

            Under the circumstance, we would like to sincerely request you to kindly consider the following aspects to protect the lives of the staff and their family members residing in the Postal Colony and to save the Govt. property.

1.  Undertake immediate survey and allocate sufficient fund under building maintenance head for construction of boundary wall of the Divisional Office and Sahadevkhunta Postal Colony, Balasore.

2.  Allocate sufficient fund to undertake civil and electrical maintenance work of the Postal Colony, Sahadevkhunta.

3.  Direct the SPOs, Balasore Division to undertake a special cleanliness drive to fill the low wetlands rooting out the herbaceous plants making the environment hygienic.

           

Awaiting your kind cooperation, Sir.

With regards.

Yours faithfully,
