A gross negligence and violation of administrative decorum in preparation of cabinet note for implementation of GDS pay Commission.

Dear Colleagues,

The Nataraja Murthy Committee submitted its report in the month of October 2008 and Gopinath Committee suggested the modifications in January 2009. Now it is learnt that the cabinet note prepared by the officers of Department of Posts has neglected all the modifications made by Gopinath Committee and only Nataraja Murthy Committee recommendations are taken in to account while preparation of cabinet note.

In fact the Nataraja Murthy Report was negative in some of its recommendations and after the strong protest from union the Gopinath Committee was appointed.

The team of some officers from Department of Posts, which was in Nataraja Murthy GDS Committee got hurt to note that the recommendations made by committee in which their key roll was ordered to be checked by Gopinath Committee. And therefore they have planned to neglect Gopinath Committee Suggestions in preparation and submission of this cabinet Note for approval from cabinet for implementation of GDS pay report and they succeed in it.

FNPO was of the opinion to appose this cabinet note, but taking in to consideration the abnormal delay already caused and GDS staff anxiously waiting for orders. We have decided not to appose now. But being the president of FNPO I Strongly protest this move of Department of Posts and request Postal JCA to take this matter seriously and appeal to all Postal Workers including GDS to prepare for a strong Fight against this lobby of Officers, those are working against the Staff in Dak Bhawan. As far as FNPO is concerned we are of the opinion to file a court case also but after release of orders on GDS pay report.

T .N. Rahate.
President FNPO
