Sub: Punitive actions instead of
taking remedial measures in r/o workload, manpower, infrastructure and system.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the various
communications of the Association covering the subject mentioned issues of workload, manpower, infrastructure and system etc.
2. It is again submitted with due
regards that the Range and Division Offices under the field formations are
acutely short of the required manpower and infrastructure. Due to it, the
officers are work-loaded tremendously beyond the human limits. System is also
not functioning properly. Officers are unable even to take optimum use of the
system due to its improper functioning. However, system should be of the type that
we may be able to take its maximum and efficient use.
3. Recently, action has been initiated against one of
our officers namely Sh. Akash Chandran, Superintendent of Nagarcoil Range of
Tirunveli Division of Chennai Zone in relation of non-adhar validation GST
registration without appreciating the work related problems being faced by our
officers. It has been said in the Memorandum issued to Sh. Akash Chandran under
Rule 16 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 that he took 14 days to send the verification
report to the concerned authority instead of sending it within the stipulated
time. News in the air is that such action is also being contemplated against
many more officers. Such type of actions against the officers are really disappointing,
demoralizing and horrifying and shall suppress the work culture knowing very
well that our officers are working day and night even beyond office hours and
even on holidays. Official orders are being issued by the authorities to force
them to come to office even on statutory holidays without giving them time to
be relaxed and refreshed. It is also worth to mention that the time to get
relaxed and refreshed is very necessary for the employees even as per DOPT guidelines
but our authorities seem to be not worried et al about relaxing and refreshing
our officers. Rather authorities seem more interested in taking punitive
actions against the officers without any genuine reason and also without
understanding the actual problems.
4. As already brought to your kind notice that our officers are already busy throughout to provide non-statutory reports and other works as being asked by our authorities. Such reports should kindly be produced by the concerned authorities from system itself for at least optimum use of the system. Your goodself was also requested to take measures that statutory works are not harmed on account of such non-statutory reports/works which are being asked every hour from our officers in time bound manner by the authorities. Instead of taking some remedial measures, punitive actions have been started to be taken against our officers. As far as infrastructure including vehicles meant for staffside for official work is concerned, the same are being enjoyed by the higher authorities as per their sweet will and disposal, whether official or unofficial, instead of providing the same to the staffside to be used for official purpose. If the movements of the vehicles meant for official work are verified, it will be crystal clear that who is using these vehicles and for what purpose.
5 In view of the above, it is very much requested to
take remedial measures in r/o workload, manpower, infrastructure and system to
provide required work culture to the officers instead of taking punitive
actions against them. The action initiated against Sh. Akash may also kindly be
withdrawn and such action may also kindly not be initiated against any other
officer. It may also kindly be taken into kind consideration that it is not
possible for human being to work in mechanical manner particularly when the
problems like tremendous workload, acute shortage of manpower and
infrastructure, poor system etc. are being faced.
Thanking you,
Yours
sincerely,
(HARPAL
SINGH),
Secretary
General.
