NFPE & AIPEU-GDS - DHARNA PROGRAMME ON 27-04-2017

   27^th APRIL 2017  

 ONE DAY DHARNA

          NATION-WIDE  DAY LONG DHARNA (ONE DAY) IN FRONT OF ALL DIVISIONAL / REGIONAL / CIRCLE OFFICES – ON 27^th APRIL 2017.
              PROTESTING THE DELAY IN IMPLEMENTATION OF GDS COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS.

       NFPE & AIPEU-GDS decides to go on an agitation programme demanding the Department & Government for EARLY  IMPLEMENTATION OF  ALL THE POSITIVE / FAVOURABLE RECOMMENDATIONS OF SHRI KAMALESH CHANDRA COMMITTEE REPORT BEFORE 29^th APRIL 2017.

            We are well aware that Shri Kamalesh Chandra Committee submitted its report on GDS issues viz., Service Conditions, Pay & Allowances, Welfare measures, Retirement benefits etc., to the Govt. and Department on 24^thNovember 2016.

          But the said Report was published and made available to the Members & Unions only on 18^th January 2017 i.e., after more than 1 ½ months for the best reasons known to the Department. After a notice to hold indefinite hunger fast programme in front of Dak Bhawan by NFPE Union’s General Secretaries and AIPEU-GDS it came for publication with the approval of the Election Commission on the assurance given by the Dept that there should be no follow-up action till 15^th March 2017 because of model code of conduct (General elections in five States). That means about a period of 4 months the GDS Committee has kept idle without any progress.

           It came to the notice of our Unions/Federations that after 15^th March a six member committee has been constituted to implement the recommendations of the GDS Committee Report. Further the said Committee called Unions/Federations to suggest modifications / remarks for finalizing the process and the Secretary General, NFPE  & Secretary General, Confederation of CG Employees attended and presented a brief note on the favourable, positive recommendations and requested the Committee to implement the recommendations of the Committee at the earliest.

          In the meeting, the Hon’ble Secretary, Posts assured and expressed a positive consideration on the early implementation of the Committee’s recommendations. 

       However, NFPE & AIPEU-GDS have taken a decision to demand the Department & Government, without any delay, all the positive & favourable recommendations of Shri Kamalesh Chandra Committee Report should be implemented by 29^th April, 2017.

             To show our protest and resentment against the delay in processing the implementation of the positive recommendations of the GDS Committee Report with all invalid reasons for a period of 4 months and taking into consideration of the demands of our Unions/Federations NFPE & AIPEU-GDS started agitation with this one day dharna at all levels.  
           Once again requesting all the GDS comrades & affiliated unions of NFPE to hold demonstrations, meetings and conduct a day long dharna in front of all Divisional / Regional / Circle offices of all Circles and make this 27^th April 2017 agitation a grand success with en masse participation.

MAKE 27^th APRIL 2017
