Sub: Work from home.
Sir,
Kindly refer
to Ref. No. 51/AIB/C/20 Dt. 18.03.20 and 54/AIB/C/20
Dt. 22.03.20 of the
Association and other various communications repeatedly requesting for work
from home.
2. It is to submit with due regards
that the Association requested for work from home vide above referred
communication on account of the fatal spread of corona pandemic. The
Association is thankful that the govt. took the due cognizance of our request
and the work from home was started to take preventive measures against the
corona pandemic. Only essential services were continued.
3. Your kind
attention is also invited to the MHA Order Dt. 30.05.20 issued vide No. 40-3/2020-DM-I(A).
Point No 6 of Annexure-I to MHA order says that the practice of work from home (WfH)
should be followed as far as possible. No need to say that this measure is
ordered to be taken to keep the govt. employees and their families safe from
COVID-19.
4. As your goodself knows that the corona pandemic and
its fatality is on regular increase and yet to attain the peak. Every person is
living under its fatal threat. Officers of every department have become its prey
and many of them have also unfortunately died of it. Our department is also not
exception to this. It is also a bitter truth that our officers including
Superintendents and promotee Group A officers are devoid of prescribed office
space and closed chambers posing them to the open threat of COVID-19. By this,
any unfortunate event may occur anytime and we will not be able to do anything.
5. The e-office is also going to start w.e.f. 15.06.20
in full fledged manner. The public dealing has already ended in our CBIC with
the advent of GST. Thus, the official work can be done from any place with the
help of e-office easily. Your goodself is also aware that the govt. was forced to
close many offices including North Block due to spread of corona despite of 33%
or 50% working strength.
6. In view of the
above, it is requested
to give the option to work from home to the maximum number of our officers below the rank of Joint
Commissioner (equivalent to Deputy Secretary). The officers may be called to come to office in urgent and emergent matters only. It will also help to avoid the
various types of incidental expenses. Even there is no harm to make it a permanent
feature to save the huge expenditure being made by the govt. on required
infrastructure.
Thanking you,
Yours
sincerely,
(HARPAL
SINGH),
Secretary
General.
Copy with the request for necessary action to:
