Sub: - Regarding
delivery of letters under Pradhan Mantri, Jan ArogyaYojna (PMJAY) on Sunday.
Ref: - Dte. No. 59-01/2018-BD dated 21st
October 2018.
Sir,
Your kind attention
is invited towards Directorate letter no. as referred above under which orders
have been issued to make delivery of the letters under Pradhan Mantri Jan
AarogyaYojna (PMJAY) on Sunday.
In this connection we
want to bring to your kind notice that now a days it has become the order of
the day that on each and every Sunday officials are being engaged in various
works like delivery of some important letters, some melas to achieve targets in
various schemes, various meetings on new and premium schemes and other schemes
of the Department. The officials of Department of Posts are now deprived from
their basic right of availing weekly off.
Now the delivery of PMJAY letters has been entrusted to the staff which
is very much causing troubles and sufferings to the employees.
It is also worth mentioning here that no off or any type of
compensation is granted to the officials attending duty on Sunday and holiday.
This shows apathetic attitude of the officers of Department.
Already Postal Employees are suffering a lot after implementation of
CBS, CSI, IPPB, RICT, Aadhar, Passport, PNOP and other schemes.
It is therefore requested to kindly cause suitable instruction to all
not to deprive the employees to avail their weekly offs and this practice
should be ended.
With
regards,
(R. N. Parashar)
