FIGHT FOR DEMANDS - BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

Finally General Secretary IP/ASP Association has taken up agenda item for discussion with Secretary Post. This includes (i) Upgradation of Grade Pay of Inspector Posts from Rs 4200/- to Rs 4600/- w.e.f 01.01.2006 (ii) Holding of DPC for regular promotion in PSS Group ‘B’ cadre for the year 2010 & 2011(iii) Non- counting of promotion earned through examination in MACP scheme. This should come much earlier without losing time. Any way, still it is better late than never. What-so-ever may be the result, in democracy every one has right to express his view point and fight for justice. In the present parliament session, all the citizens of the country have watched the highest pillar of Democracy protesting for higher pay and perks. The representative of the people who are also the law makers and run the Government of the Country, also have to fight for their demand of raising the pay of MPs from Rs 15000/ - to Rs 50000/- . The lower house was disrupted many a times by our MPs and even our Hon’ble Speaker had to adjourn the house because members of the Lok Sabha including former ministers stirred up their demand of raising the salary. Even Shri Lalu Prasad Yadav, Hon‘ble MP compared the salary of MPs with Lower Division Clerk and placed a demand of Rs 80001/- which is Rs 1/- more than the highest scale in the Govt. employees . Though other perks of these public servants are much higher as compared to Govt. servant yet their way for demand to elevate the salary was unique. The dead lock came to an end only after the assurance given by the Finance Minister to consider their demand. Now they have got what they wanted. The power is again the winner.
Where demand of revising the grade pay of inspector Posts from Rs 4200/- to Rs 4600/- stands? Is there no one in this paradise to listen helpless, poor POSTAL INSPECTORS who were once = Inspectors of CBDT & CBEC. Postal Inspectors are continuously submitting representations to the Secretary Post to bring IPs equal to Inspectors of CBDT & CBEC as has been done by Ministry of Finance in the case of other Inspectors who are recruited through the same examination as IPs and have parity recommendation by sixth pay commission. Our department should clearly write to Ministry Of Finance that Inspector Posts has entrusted more power and responsibility than any other inspector working under the control of MOF. Simultaneously our leadership should write strong representation to the DOP/MOF elaborating our roll and duties in the public life viz-a-viz Postal affairs.
Now time has come when we should gear up to act & make it clear to the Govt. that in case our genuine demands including pay scale and cadre review are not settled, we will left with no option except to resort to an agitational programme. If our MPs can adopt agitational approach to get their justified demands settled, Why can’t Postal Inspectors? Any comments.
