Finance Minister,
Govt. of India, New Delhi.
Sub: Revival of Satyagraha.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the
Ref. No. 54/A/13 Dt. 10.04.13 & 68/A/13 Dt. 26.04.13 alongwith the Ref. No. 93/A/12 Dt.
31.12.12, 27/H/13 Dt. 04.03.13, 33/A/12 Dt. 18.03.13, 34/A/12 Dt. 19.03.13,
44/A/12 Dt. 02.04.13 etc. of the Association.
2. It
is submitted with due regards that the Satyagraha programme was deferred
in expectation of some positive results in r/o the charter of demands and other
staff grievances. The final approval of the cadre restructuring was expected at
an early date after the due approval by your goodself on 12.04.13. But contrary
to the expectations, the cadre restructuring proposal was sent for re-clearance
to the Department of Expenditure even after your approval instead of sending it
immediately to the Cadre Review Committee. The Ministers, Secretaries and
Chairmen have been keeping changed but there is no change in the fate of cadre
restructuring and our career prospects.
3. As
already submitted, our officers are retiring in PB2 after getting only one
promotion in the service career while other common entry counterparts of ours
are retiring in PB4 after getting 5-6 promotions. We are deprived of the due
pay scale/pay band & grade pay and facing the worst career prospects.
Our officers are getting promotion (if any) merely to Junior Time Scale while
other counterparts of CPWD, CSS etc. to Senior Time Scale. The employee grievance
redressal mechanism has totally failed. We are forced to work under the
extreme juniors of Customs belonging to the same cadre. All of our
officers are totally demoralised and have nothing to be job-satisfied or
motivated. If career prospects were disclosed in the recruitment advertisement,
these officers would have never joined this job. The rights to grow, make
progress and live with dignity have been snatched from us. There is no change
in the scenario regarding our career prospects despite of the repeated
representations, pleadings & requests being made by the Association for
many decades. All of our grievances have been unredressed for decades despite
of the assurances. Some of the grievances are enlisted at Annexure-I.
4. In
view of the above, it is intimated that the Satyagraha programme would be
revived with bearing of black badges and observing lunch hour Shantigoshthis (peaceful
meetings) before the offices of the respective Commissioners & Chief
Commissioners by our officers on 04.09.13 throughout India, if nothing positive
happens in r/o the enclosed charter of demands and other staff grievances.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Encls: (i) Charter of
demands &
(ii) Annexure-I.
