Dr. Manmohan Singh
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India
New Delhi – 110001
Sir,
Sub: Inclusion of
Gramin Dak Sevaks of Department of Posts under the purview of the
proposed Seventh Pay Commission – regarding.
With due respect and regards, we put forth the following for your kind consideration and favourable decision please.
In the Department of
Posts, the 50% of the total work force are called as Gramin Dak Sevaks
and they are continuously being discriminated by separate committees
formed for the consideration of their wages and service conditions.
The Supreme Court of
India declared that these Gramin Dak Sevaks are holder of civil posts
and it is a well settled law. Despite the judgment, the same civil
servant status has not been accorded yet to them except a part in case
of disciplinary proceedings.
The Fourth Central Pay
Commission categorically emphasized that, the GDS issues shall be
brought under the purview of Pay Commissions. But still separate
committees are constituted.
The last committee
constituted at the time of Sixth Central Pay Commission caused clear
injustice to these employees and they are deprived all the service
benefits at par with civil servants even though the law of the land
declared and settled them as the holder of the civil posts.
Under these
circumstances, we most humbly request the Hon’ble Prime Minister of
India to consider our request and cause orders to include the GDS of the
Department of Posts under the terms of reference of the Seventh Central
Pay Commission.
With profound regards,
Yours sincerely,
(M. Krishnan) (D. Theagarajan)
Secretary General, NFPE Secretary General, FNPO
