Respected
Comrade,
While
revamping Postal Civil Wing with creation of new Civil / Electrical Divisions /
Sub-Divisions vide Directorate letter under reference, it is seen that a new
Postal Electrical Division has been proposed to be opened in Patna with shifting
of Postal Electrical Sub Division, Bhubaneswar presently under the control of
Postal Electrical Division, Kolkata to the control of the newly created Postal
Electrical Division, Patna.
In this context, we would like to
inform that it is a routine matter for all contractors of the State including
the Engineers / Officers / Officials to attend the PED often at very short
notices for tender, negotiation, processing, report on progress of work and
payment of bills etc. Since Kolkata is very accessible to Bhubaneswar with
direct flights, huge number of frequent trains and buses it becomes very
convenient for all to monitor the electrical works and finish the tendered job
in time.
But contradictorily, Patna is found
geographically remote to Bhubaneswar than Kolkata due to non-availability of
direct flight and rare availability of direct bus and train. Indirect mode of
travel to Patna from Bhubaneswar through air, rail and road will not only be
too much expensive but also time consuming which may affect the progress of
works and cause unnecessary hurdles to all the people involved in timely
completion of the electrical jobs.
Thus, the interest of Odisha Circle is
seen to be greatly affected in the above
order.
While we have no objection in
creation of a new PED in Patna, we strongly oppose the proposed shifting of
PESD, Bhubaneswar from the control of PED Kolkata to PED Patna for the above reasons.
Under the circumstances, we would
like to request you to appraise the Directorate do drop the proposed shifting
of PESD, Bhubaneswar from the control of PED Kolkata to PED Patna. The overall
technical control of PESD, Bhubaneswar may continue as usual under PED Kolkata
for the interest of Odisha Circle.
With
regards.
Comradely
yours,
(Bruhaspati
Samal)
Circle Secretary
