Postmaster General, Odisha Circle

Sub: Protest
against arbitrary decision of opening Post Offices in Odisha Circle on National
Holiday, i.e. 15th August, the Independence Day, 2019
Ref.- C
O letter No. ML/9-3/2004-05/Ch.I, dated 09.08.2019
Respected Sir,
With
due regards to the sharp reactions of the entirety of Postal employees of
Odisha Circle, we are compelled to register our extreme discontent and protest
the arbitrary decision of the Circle administration vide Circle Office letter
under reference to keep the Post Offices having three or more delivery staff
open for delivery of Rakhi Mails on the Independence Day, a national closed
holiday.
In
this context, we would like to say that Directorate letter No. 30-7/201-D,
dated 16.07.2019 on the basis of which C O letter under reference has been
issued clearly instructs that special arrangements should be made on 14th
August to deliver Rakhi Mails received in Post Offices so as to ensure that no
Rakhi Mail is pending on 15th August. Accordingly, Circle Office has
also already issued instructions vide its letter No. ML/9-3/2004-05/Ch.I, Dated
22/23.07.2019.
Thus,
the present C O letter under reference has been issued with a wrong
interpretation of the Directorate letter and it will be the first time in the
history of Odisha Postal Circle when post offices will remain open on a
National Holiday. When the entire Nation will be celebrating the Independence
Day with pomp and ceremony, the poor postal employees, especially the
Postmasters, P As, Postmen, MTS and GDS
staff members will be working as usual as if they are not still independent and
have no right to celebrate as such.
Under
the circumstances, while this Circle Union strongly opposes such arbitrary
order of the Circle Office, sincerely request you to kindly drop the above
order giving due honour to the sentiments of the grass root level work forces whose
hard labour and sincerity could achieve the Champion Award and Speed Post
Revenue Growth Award for the year
2018-19 in the annual Conference of Heads of the Circles in Srinagar on
31.07.2019.
It is our humble suggestion to the
administration not to discourage the committed work forces of Odisha Circle in
any manner.
An immediate action in the matter is
highly solicited.
With regards.
Yours
faithfully,
(Bruhaspati Samal)
Circle Secretary
Copy to the Secretary General NFPE, North Avenue
Post Office Building, New Delhi – 110 001. This might be the situation in other
Circles also. He is requested to appraise the Directorate at once to instruct
all HoCs not to issue such arbitrary orders for opening post offices on
Independence Day.

Circle Secretary
