Subject:-     Filling up the vacancies in Inspector Posts Cadre- Regarding.

Respected Sir, 

As on date there are 34 clear vacancies in Inspector Posts Cadre in Odisha Postal Circle which comes around 32% of the sanctioned strength. It is also a fact that eligible PAs/SAs are not coming forward to officiate in vacant IP Posts due to the variety of tasks and relevant circumstances under which Inspector Posts are made to perform their duty.

As a result the available Inspector Posts are burdened with discharging the duties of more than one post. The natural corollary is that IPs/ASPs are incredibly stressed on time front to accomplice the job in a time bound manner. While discharging the duties of more than one post, one is bound to overlook minor things due to variety of tasks which may result in some un-intentional lapses despite all precaution and good intention.  Further, system of making one officer discharge the duties of more than one post should not be resorted to for long periods as it is not conducive to efficiency.

Therefore, the vacant IP Posts need to be filled up urgently on regular basis. You are aware that the Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) Examination for the year – 2015 for promotion to the cadre of Inspector Posts is yet to be conducted by the Department.

I, on behalf of this Association, request you to take up the matter with the Directorate, may be in the forthcoming Heads of the Circle Conference, for early conduct of the Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) Examination for the year – 2015 for promotion to the cadre of Inspector Posts.  

With profound regards,

Yours sincerely,

(Pitabasa Jena)

Circle Secretary
