CHQ News:- No progress in proposal of merger of ASP cadre in to PS Gr. B cadre.

Dear CS and Office Bearers,  

Kind attention of all Circle Secretaries and CHQ Office Bearers is invited to my note dated 19th February 2014 published on blog regarding proposal of merger of ASP cadre in to PS Gr. B cadre. In the said note it was mentioned that Circle Secretaries and CHQ Office Bearers of following circles will ensure the submission of requisite information called for by Directorate under Memo No. 25-35/2011-PE-I dated 21st January 2014 on or before 20/2/2014, but till today information is not received at Directorate. This vital issue was also discussed at length at AIC held at Bangalore where it was also requested to all the delegates who attended AIC to confirm the submission of requisite information by their circle on their return to duty. After returning from AIC I had issued series of SMS as well as telephonic calls to concerned CS but all in vein. More than one months period is elapsed and there is no progress from these circles, if everybody do like this, then nothing will be achieved for this cadre and CHQ team will not be held responsible for it. GS is doing at his level best, but unless there is support from all corners, he and his team can't achieve the goal which we all are expecting. We have to work in team and not as individual.  

To speed up this crucial issue, it has been decided to nominate the co-ordinator to each circle who has not submitted their requisite information to Directorate. The following co-ordinator will monitor and ensure receipt of information from circles within a day or two.  

Sl. No.	Name of co-ordinator	Name of circle whose information required	Name of CS and his mobile No.
1	Shri P. Ajit Kumar, AGS-I & ASP (CP) Postal Directorate New Delhi	Bihar	Shri Rajiv Kumar 09431239170
		Chhattisgarh	Shri A. K. Singh 09407624220 09431157362
		UP	Shri Komal Singh 09675290300
		Uttarakhand	Shri Deepak Sharma 09410558639
		Delhi	Shri R. D. Sharma 09868372383
2	Shri Hira Lal, OGS-V & Manager SPC Gurgaon	J&K	-
		Punjab	Shri Balbir Singh Kaushal 09914066754
3	Shri Ajith Kurian, CS Kerala and Manager NSPC Trivandrum	Gujarat	Shri V. R. Shah 09426572244
		Kerala	Shri Ajith Kurian 09447271165
4	Shri Arup Seal CS WB and ASP (HQ) Kolkata Stg. Division	NE	Ms Merry 09436303885
		MP	Shri Ram Jaiswal 09826823805

Therefore it is finally requested to Circle Secretaries and CHQ Office Bearers of these circles to personally look into this and ensure the submission requisite information by their circles within a day or two. This should be given top priority by Circle Secretaries of above circles or we have forgo this issue.

General Secretary

Views of Odisha Circle:- The talk of upgrading certain posts to PS Group-B to pave the way for speedier promotion after having a single level in the cadre is going on since constitution of a committee under the chairpersonship of Member(P) vide Department’s Office order No.1/1/2011-SR dated 09-09-2011. 

In Directorate’s Letter No.137-89/2013-SPB-II dated 11^th Ocober, 2013 to the General Secretary, the department had mentioned that “the Association was already informed that their proposal for grant of Grade Pay of Rs.4,600/- to Inspector Posts could be considered only if IPs and ASPs cadre are merged into one cadre and gazette status of ASPs is forgone. The Association had agreed to submit a revised proposal shortly to be considered by the Department”. 

On merger issue we find ourselves at crossroads and are unable to decide which course to take, to proceed further. It would have been better if we could have taken a decision to make a single level in the cadre by merger of IPs and ASPs to get Grade Pay of Rs.4,600/- for the merged cadre and to demand for up-gradation of certain posts to PS Group-B Cadre for better promotional avenues of the cadre. Now 7th CPC is the only hope to get pay parity with Inspectors in CBEC/CBDT.

 

Coming back to the issue of submission of information called for by the Directorate from the Circles, it is to mention that the information is to be submitted in the figure only and the Circle Secretaries of the above Circles need to take interest on the issue to help the General Secretary to achieve the demands placed by the CHQ.
