Dear Mohanty Sir,
A PA who will take the objective type 90 minutes PM Grade I exam will be promoted to Sr Postmaster by promotion and and an Inspector who has already taken a tough examination consisting all the volumes / Govt of India Act has gain to prove his skill to become a Sr Post master . What a joke department has made with poor /handicapped/ helpless IP/ASPs who are not able to take decision to fight about their rights . Whether the central leadership will think over such grave issues ?
I fully agree with Mr. Sunil and want to add that the IP/ASP cadre is set to be a dying cadre and the deptt. also want to see die this cadre . there is no charm in this cadre now where the postmen working under IP/ASP getting equal GP. This itself a great joke to this cadre.

Dear friend,
I saw ur comment. But you must also think abt the eligibility condition.The IP line candidate has 10 yrs of total service(5 PA+ 5 IP) whereas the PA has to put atleast 13 yrs (6+5+2 atleast) to appear/become PS Gp B Postmaster. To become an PS Gp B PM, the IPO line candidate should also take an examination which is obiviously objective type only. Before that, the IPO exam also will be of objective type only. SO Don't loose your confidence. First u should decide ur future regarding u wish to remain in adm cadre(like ASP/SP/SSP) or on the operative side. ASP from Tamilnadu
Dear BB ji,
I am viewing your web blog regularly. It is fine. You keep posted all your members with update information. It will definitely create awareness among IP/ASP. At present I am in USA. Your blog helps me a lot to know the latest news.
Please keep it up.

Dear Anonymous
This is in context of you comment dated 11 Dec 2010. I want to say that how may books you have gone through and how many years preparedness you have made to come in merit in IPOs examination. My Dear no one qualify in the IPOs examination in ist chance (very few enjoy ist chance entry) .
You have not even mentioned ur name in the blog . I request u to kindly please do publish ur name > Pleae be courgeous and mention ur name while posting the comments
Respect Samual Sir,
1, After a log silence, I was overwhelmed by watching ur comment on orrissa blog. We want ur comments on the issue being raised by the PUNJAB Circle on their blog immediately . Since Ambaji conference is being held shortly on 16-17 . Please post your comments on present scenrio as none of the issue raised in Delhi meeting has been settled till now. I remember that u have said at Delhi meeting that IP should Not create nue-sense for their demand. But sir U were wrong.PIII people who are having nue sense value are getting the decision in favour but we not becuase we have no neue sence value .
Good morning samuel sir,
Hope u & ur family r enjoying the winter of USA. All the best. Merry Christmas & happy new year, in advance to u all. Bye.

Sir,
Your blog deserves such stimulating comments.Our request is,kindly analyze the creation of postmaster cadre and its repercussions on existing norm based LSG/HSG/HSG-I that whether the benefits extends to the PM cadre will go hand in hand to the said norm based posts or shall it be treated as secondary cadre as comparison with PM cadre. The said officials are absloutely in perplex state since no guidance/initiative from any union quarters.Kinldy provide your analysis and feed back if possible for guidance
Dear BBJi,
I am also of the opinion like you. Before we take up the issue with DOP, we must examine ourself how many of us are willing to work as HSG I postmasters. I know many ASP decline to join postmaster (HSG I). Very few IP line officials work as Postmaster that too on personal grounds (not willingly). Postmaster cadre is a separate cadre for which man power is drafted from both IP line and general line officials. Please discuss any thing in details with full justification in the forthcoming all India CWC and guide the CHQ properly. Many CS do not attend CWC and Conference. All should attend and discuss the matter in detail.

Dear sunil sir, this is ASP from TN in reply to your comment dt 13 Dec 2010
What will u do by knowing the name of the person posted the comments. The contents of the comments needs to be addressed if it is posted in true spirit. Being ASP (who have passed the IP exam in his first attempt) I must support our own cadre butttttt before that one has to realise the facts of the entire issue. Aankein bandh karke comments nahi post karna (that too one sided) What ever it may be (the syllabus)an examination is an examination be it IP or PM cadre... but look at the number of years to get promotion. It is easy to become a PS Gp officer through IP line rather than through General line(PM cadre) please go through and offer ur comments. (I hope u will accept). ASP (passed in his first attempt in the IP exam after 5 years of service as PA) from TN
