Dear Comrades,
Cadre Restructuring of Group-C Postal Employees – Appeal not to be misguided by any misleading information.
Dear Comrades,
We are receiving continuous telephone calls from all corners regarding up-to-date status of our representation submitted directly to Secretary (Posts) in person during his visit to Odisha (Bhubaneswar) on 03.03.2017 and the same by Postal JCA (NFPE & FNPO), CHQ on 17.03.2017.
As aware, since the notification for implementation of Cadre Restructuring Proposal we have been continuously analyzing and recording the lapses of the proposal knocking the doors of each forum / authority for rectification / modification.
Since Odisha Circle is the first Circle in India to implement this proposal, we got the opportunity to record the lapses/deficiencies first before anybody analyzed.
Implementation Order was issued vide D G (Posts) letter No. 25-04/2012-PE-I, dated 27.05.2016 and the 9th Divisional Biennial Conference of AIPEU, Group-C, Bhubaneswar Division was held from 28.05.2016 to 29.05.2016 and then we started writing.
In spite of all our limitations and compulsions, we have tried to take this particular issue as seriously as it can be taken.
We may brief our activities chronologically on this aspect as follows.

Apart from analyzing and writing as above, we are also in continuous touch with our CHQ and NFPE and have discussed with many of our senior leaders. All most all the above activities have already been published in our website as and when required. But still then some of our members are in doubt on our activities which prompted us to consolidate as above for information of our members.
As we had updated earlier, our proposals for modification were under examination and as per the latest information received from the General Secretary, the concerned file is presently on the desk of the Secretary (Posts). Now our General Secretary is in Port Blair for some organizational work. We may know something on the progress during next week perhaps.
But, in the meantime, we are receiving several misleading information and also witnessing the same in several websites. As if, NFPE / Postal JCA has done nothing so far and the problems now confronted by our staff members have arisen only because the Cadre Restructuring proposal was signed by Postal JCA without any others involvement. Some are also claiming that they are taking this issue from the day one which is completing false and misleading and meant to gain extra mileage only during this month of April when they are far behind to be recognized.
We are not worried about others. But we are concentrating on our own activities. As a responsible member / office bearer of NFPE, we are taking the issue more seriously than anybody else. But we neither publish any misleading information nor advertize in any other way to gain cheap popularity.
We can say proudly that on behalf of Odisha Circle, we have reacted first and recoded our views well in advance starting from distribution of posts till implementation. We have reacted severally both as the Divisional Secretary, Bhubaneswar and Vice-President / Circle Secretary, Odisha. We suggested first to the Secretary (Posts) on 03.03.2017 on the probable solutions to the lapses noticed in Cadre Restructuring under intimation to our CHQ/NFPE and published in our local websites.
As Circle Secretary, we have done whatever found feasible. We are struggling hard and waiting for a positive result since we are pursuing the issue through our CHQ/NFPE.
Thus, at this moment, we do sincerely appeal all our members not to be misguided by any misleading information, stay united and wait for the instruction from CHQ/NFPE.

Circle Secretary
