To

The Secretary,

Department of Posts

Dak Bhawan,

New Delhi- 11 0001

Madam,

                       Sub: - Engagement of SBCO staff for settlement of

                                object ions -reg                                                            

                                                          

It is brought to this union that the staff of SBCO wing are utilized by and large for settlement of objections raised by them. As an example, a copy of e-mail letter of the SSPOs Tirunelveli Division ( Tamilnadu) is forwarded. Through the said letter, one PA SBCO Tirunelveli HPO has been directed to visit Tirunelveli Town S.O and settle 400 SBCO OMs within two days.

In the para 13 of SBCO control procedure, it is categorically said that it is the personal responsibility of the Postmaser and the Ledger Clerk to ensure that objections raised by Control Organization are got settled by supplying the wanting information and particulars.DPM/APM in charge of SB branch is required to see that replies to the objection and wanting particulars are furnished within a fortnight at the earliest. Manner of settlement of objections is also stated with specific guidelines under para13.

By violating all these settled procedures, directing the SBCO official is nothing but  to  threat  SBCO staff not to raise objections further. Like this, the staff  have been engaged errantly for many other purposes and as a result the very purpose of control organization is defeated.

It is therefore, requested to look into the matter and cause appropriate instructions to all concerned to stop such practices of using SBCO staff  in operative side.

                                       A line in reply is solicited.

                                       With regards

Yours faithfully
