Letter to Prime Minister on GDS Committee.



No. GDS/CHQ/40/1/2006 Dated: 26-07-07
To,

Dr, Man Mohan Singh,
Hon’ble Prime Minister,
Government of India,
New Delhi – 110001

Subject;- Examination of service conditions and wage-structure of Gramin Dak Sevak employees-appointment of judicial Committee.

Hon’ble Sir,

You will kindly agree that the Gramin Dak Sevaks (formerly known as E.D. agents), the most exploited and discriminated employees are the humble servants of rural population with regard to provision and maintenance of Postal services. The Supreme Court has declared these employees to be holders of Civil Post. The Fourth Central Pay Commission agreed that in view of this judgement, the E.D. employees were covered under the purview of terms of reference of the Commission.

The Department of Posts realised the position and a conscious decision, after appointment of the Fifth Pay Commission, and appointed a one man-judicial Committee to examine the issue under Justice Charanjit Talwar, a retired judge of Delhi High Court. Justice Talwar Committee made several land mark recommendations.

The Department of Posts unilaterally and in a high handed manner has overturned its conscious decision made in consultation with unions and has finalised appointment of an E.D. Committee under a recently retired Additional Secretary in the Department of Posts. This person during his incumbency demonstrated deep anti-Gramin Dak Sevak bias and got several orders issued which are to the detriment of the G.D.S. employees. He has lost his credentials to sit on judgement to decide the fate of the Gramin Dak Sevaks.

We as the only recognised representatives of the Gramin Dak Sevaks do solemnly declare that we are being pushed to the wall and being compelled to totally boycott this Committee. We demand appointment of a one man commission under a retired Judge of a High Court.

We on behalf of three lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks humble servants of rural population urge upon you to intervene and utilise your good offices to ensure appointment of a one man Commission under a retired Judge of a High Court.

If the Department of Post insists on its arbitrary action we are afraid, they want to threaten the tranquillity in postal services.

With profound regards,


Yours faithfully,

S.S. Mahadevaiah,
General Secretary.

Sub;- Study of the Service Condition and wage-structure-appointment of a Judicial Committee.

Hon’ble Madam,

We are forwarding here with a copy of the letter addressed to the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India on the arbitrary and high-handed action of the Department of Posts to appoint a biased and prejudiced officer to sit on judgement to decide the fate of three lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks, the humble servants of rural population.

Three lakh Gramin Dak Sevak employees of the Department of Posts look eagerly to you to intervene in interest of Justice to the Gramin Dak Sevaks. We very humbly crave your indulgence to ensure appointment of a one man Commission under a retired Judge of a High Court to study the service conditions and wage-structure of the Gramin Dak Sevaks.

We earnestly, request your honour to impress upon the Government the need to impart Justice to the exploited and discriminated Gramin Dak Sevak by appointment of a judicial Commission as suggested above.

With profound regards,

Yours faithfully,

S.S. Mahadevaiah,
General Secretary.
