Sub:- Suggestion of Odisha Circle Branch on “Organizational Restructuring in the Department of Posts”.

Dear Shri Ingale Ji,

          This has a kind reference to the Director (Estt. & DE) & Member Secretary of the Committee for organizational Restructuring in the Department Letter No. 23-1/2012-PE-II dated 10^th May, 2012.

          In this connection, the suggestion of Odisha Circle branch is as follows:-

·         In each Revenue District, there must be at least one Postal Division. Further, in any Postal Division, there should not be more than 40 Departmental Post Offices irrespective of status to increase the management level. Accordingly, new Postal Divisions should be created by bi-furcating the existing Divisions. In each Postal Division, one additional post of PS Group-B should be created to look after BD & Marketing in the line it is existing in the cadre of JAG/SAG[DPS/PMG(BD& Mktg)]. Class-II Divisions may be considered for up-gradation to Class-I Division to the maximum extent possible. In class-I Divisions the posts of ASP(HQ) and ASP(OD) be upgraded to PS Group-B. Similarly, the ASP Posts in ROs and COs be upgraded to PS Group-B depending upon the status of the Group Officer.

·         With the enormous increase of work pressure on the Postal Sub-Divisional Heads, provision of two posts of PA in the Sub-Division should be there for clerical work. In any Postal Sub-Division, there must not be more than 5 Departmental Post Offices and 50 Branch Post Offices to increase the management level. Accordingly, new Postal Sub-Divisions should be created bi-furcating the existing Sub-Divisions. The number of inspection days for BOs and single handed SOs should at least be 2 days given the increase in work load of PLI & RPLI.

·         The IPs be promoted to ASPs on completion of required probation period in IP cadre delinking from the present system of promotion on availability of vacancy in ASP Cadre or the ratio between the posts of IPs and ASPs should be fixed in such a way (say at the ratio of 40:60 in the pattern that was prevalent in erstwhile JAO & AAO Cadres) in each Circle so that the time taken by an IP to get promotion to ASP cadre becomes uniform throughout the country.

·         The required number of ASP posts should be upgraded to PS Group-B Posts so that the promotion of IPs to PS Group-B will be possible within a span of 8 to 10 years of service from IP cadre.

·         The posts of IPs in CO/RO should be increased by new creation in view of increased work load on account of introduction of a variety of new services.

·         There should be provision of MTS by sanction of post or by outsourcing on sanction of a fixed allowance for taking care of the nature of work with Sub-Divisional Office which are meant to be done by the erstwhile Group-D staff.

·         The Sub-Divisional Heads should be vested with financial powers up-to Rs.10,000/- in one occasion.

·         All HSG-II and HSG-I Head Post Offices should be up-graded to Group-B Head Post Office and be headed by Sr. Postmaster.

·         After decentralization of PLI/RPLI work to Divisions, there should be a separate establishment with required number of Postal Assistants and Supervisor for effective after sales service.

      

          With best regards,                        

Sincerely yours,

(Pitabasa Jena)
