Letter to ADG, DPD

The Additional Director General,
NSSO (DPD),
Kolkata

Sub: Redressal of the grievances of Ministerial Staff of DPD & SDRD –regarding.

Sir,

It is to bring to your kind notice that the DPD Hqrs Unit Committee of this Association had sought an appointment with the DDG (I/c, Admn.), DPD to discuss some long pending genuine grievances of our cadres which he orally turned down. The matter was discussed by the available members of Central Executive Committee at Kolkata and decided to go an indefinite pen down from 31.3.10. Accordingly a letter addressed to your office has been sent vide letter No. AIAMS(Gr.C)/DPD/Kol/09-10 dated 26.03.10. Subsequently, the Kolkata Unit had discussed the matter with the Association Hqrs and they were advised to postpone the pen down until this letter sends your office.

It is worth mentioning here that this Association had written several letters to DPD Hqrs, on the redressal of the genuine grievances of the Ministerial Staff of DPD & SDRD, since the SIU. But no action has been taken to solve the same as the issues raised are still stand good. Thus instead of inviting the delegation of the Association to discuss the burning issues of the Ministerial Staff, the DDG (I/c, Admn) DPD flatly refused to meet them. Our Association is recognized one under the JCM scheme, which stands for amicable settlement of the issues through bilateral discussions. But it is regretted that the stand adopted by the DDG (I/c Admn) is against the very principle of the JCM scheme.

It is further bring to you that the recommendation of the 6th Pay Commission has severely disturbed the vertical relativity in the pay scales of the LDC, UDC, Office Superintendents and AAO of the Ministerial Cadres. This distressed the Ministerial Staff a lot and without the active support of the Administration this anomalous situation can not be removed. When the officer concerned is refusing to hear us, how these genuine grievance could be redressed.

It is therefore requested that please look into the demands put forth by our DPD Unit personally for a favorable action at the earliest.

Yours faithfully


(T.K.R. Pillai)
