Maligning inspectorial staff without justification

A news item repeatedly came up in OTV channel on 08.08.2009 putting the blame on Sri K S Bagh, IP Rourkela for death of one Sri Sanatan Jena, GDS MC, Uditnagar HO for allegedly causing mental pressure on him leading to his unnatural death. The agitating staff of Rourkela abused Sri Bagh thoroughly and demanded his suspension for the action he is not responsible for.

Sources close to the Association revealed that the IP Sri Bagh whose duty includes ensuring smooth transmission of mails in his jurisdiction had called for an explanation of Sri Jena for his alleged lapses in conveying the mails and had done nothing illegal or irregular which would make him responsible for his death. Further, the death was due to road accident unconnected with the duty of the GDS MC.

It is sheer insane to blame the IP for calling for explanation within his legitimate duty from his subordinate staff who allegedly found wanting in his assigned duty. If calling for explanation from a defaulting staff is regarded as a crime one wonders why should there be any need for employing a supervisory staff to carry out the administrative function. If for argument’s shake the IP had done something wrong one wonders what prevented the staff from taking up the matter at the higher administrative level for a remedy.

It has come to the knowledge of this Association that the some unscrupulous elements among the staff working at Rourkela in their usual enthusiastic approach to find a pretext to create trouble for the administration and to keep the Inspectorial staff terrorized by unconstitutional means (so that they could carry on their nefarious activities unhindered), have deliberately made the incident an issue before the media on an unjust and unreasonable ground.

The Association deeply mourns the death of Sri Jena who belonged to postal fraternity irrespective of his cadre and status and sends condolences to the bereaved family. At the same time the Association condemns the attitude and activities of the staff who being guided by their apparent uncivilized and lawlessness instinct abused and maligned the inspectorial staff who is not at all responsible for the death of the GDS MC which was reportedly caused due to road accident.
