Hon’ble
Member of Parliament (LokSabha/RajyaSabha)

Respected
Sir,
On
behalf of 2.76 lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks in the Department of Posts, we submit
the memorandum for your kind consideration and favourable action.
The
Government of India constituted One Man Committee under the Chairmanship of
Sri. Kamalesh Chandra, Retired Postal Board Member to examine the wage
structure and service conditions of Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) in November, 2015.
The
Committee submitted a report to the Department of Posts in November 2016.
The
Union Cabinet has approved the report on 06.06.2018. The major recommendations
of the committee were overlooked and neglected by Union Cabinet and the
Department of Posts. The committee has been wrongfully manipulated and amended.
This manipulation and unjustified amendment of the report of the committee has
been given the serious detriment of the GDS employees and has put them
to a cumulative loss of lakhs of rupees.
You
are humbly requested to take up these issues in the parliament by using your
good offices.
We
are submitting the following for your ready reference.
