Sub:- Unrealistic
target fixed on IPPB work in post offices. – request to record objection in the
19th meeting and also announce immediate programme demanding to
withdraw the impracticable target on IPPB fixed
Sir,
In order to record our protest
against the arbitrary and unjust fixation of target on IPPB accounts among the
employees, We are boycotting the scheduled meeting on 19.9.2019 on sensitizing
of IPPB with the union representatives.
The instructions vide letter no
F. No. 2-9201 1 1261201 9-Coord./O&M dated 12.9.2019 fixing a target of 5
crores IPPB accounts; 2 crores SSA accounts are arbitrary, unjust and
unrealistic.
All are impracticable for the
accounting year 2019-20 and in the subsequent orders vide File
No.1-212019-PBl dated 13.9.2019 fixing a target of 6 IPPB accounts
per counter 3 IPPB accounts for postmen and for GDS 4 IPPB accounts per
week and also the same no of digital transactions shall also be done
by the respective cadre. This is also practically infeasible and this is
tantamount to more pressure to the staff who are suffering in the midst of
acute shortage of staff as well as CSI network connectivity problem etc.
We cannot remain as mute
spectator at this juncture and every time, the officials are being tortured
with the unrealistic targets in the midst of poor infrastructure, network and
SAP. The fixing of target to the counter PA is arbitrary.
It is therefore, we registered
our protest as well as demanding to withdraw the target. If not, the CHQ will
announce immediate programme of action culminating to strike.
A line in reply about the action
taken is highly solicited.
Yours
sincerely,

In accordance with the GO
No S 11011/10/2012-CGHS (P) /EHS dated 28.3.2017 of the Ministry of Health, it
is stipulated that for availing the CGHS facilities for the NPS pensioners, a
minimum qualifying service of 10 years is a must. If not, they are not entitled
for the CGHS facilities.
In respect of Postal
department, many GDS who became regular employees after 50 years could not
avail the CGHS facilities and this condition is unwarranted and denying the NPS
employees particularly in our department.
It is therefore requested
to take up this issue with the Ministry of Health and also in JCM National
Council meeting.

51st YEAR
OF 1968 SEPTEMBER 19th STRIKE
M.KRISHNAN
Secretary General, Confederation
*******
2019 September 19th is
the 51st Anniversary of 1968 September 19th one
day strike. All leaders and workers who led and participated in that
historic strike have either retired from service or are no more.
The
indefinite strike of Central Govt. Employees in1960 was the first major strike
of Central Govt. Employees after independence. The five days strike
from 1960 July 11 midnight was brutally suppressed by the Central Government
declaring it as “Civil Rebellion”. The
main demand of the strike was improvement and modifications in the 2nd CPC
recommendations. The Need Based Minimum Wage, though adopted by the 15th Indian Labour
Conference in 1957, was rejected by the 2nd CPC.
The Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM)
was constituted in 1966 by then Home Minister Guljarilal Nanda, as per the
decision of the Government. The apprehension of the progressive
leadership that this negotiating machinery may not settle any major demands of
the Central Govt. employees and may become just a talking shop or a time
killing business, ultimately resulting in abnormally delaying the genuine
demands, came true within a year of its formation. In the very first
meeting of the National Council JCM, the following three demands were notified
by the staff side.
1. Grant of Need Based
Minimum Wage as approved by the 1957 Tripartite Labour Conference.
2. Merger of DA
with Pay
3. Revision of DA
formula
After
prolonged discussion for about one and a half year, disagreement was
recorded. As per JCM Scheme once disagreement is recorded, the item
should be referred to compulsory arbitration. But Govt. rejected the
demand for arbitration. Protesting against this arbitrary stand of
the Govt. the staff side leadership walked out of the JCM and decided to go for
one day’s strike. A Joint Action Committee was formed and the date
of the strike was decided as 19th September
1968. Even though, the INTUC affiliated organisations were initially
a part of the strike decision, later on they decided not to join the strike due
to the intervention of the then Congress Government headed by Smt. Indira
Gandhi.
The
following were the main demands of the strike charter of demands.
1. Need Based
Minimum Wage.
2. Full
neutralisation of rise in prices.
3. Merger of DA with
Basic Pay
4. Withdrawal of
proposal to retire employees with 50 years of age or on completion of 25 years
of service.
5. Vacate
victimisation and reinstate victimised workers.
6. No
retrenchment without equivalent alternative jobs.
7. Abolition of
Contract and Casual Labour System.
Strike
notice was served and the Joint Action Council (JAC) decided to commence the
strike at 0600 AM on 19th September 1968. Intensive campaign was
conducted throughout the country. AIRF, AIDEF and Confederation was
the major organisations in the JAC. Govt. invoked Essential Services
Maintenance Ordinance (ESMO) to deal with the strike. Govt. also
issued detailed instructions to impose heavy penalty including suspension, dismissal,
termination, Break-in-service etc. on the striking
employees. Para-military force (CRPF) and Police were deployed to
deal with the strike. Central Govt. gave orders to all state
Governments to suppress the strike at any cost. It was a war-like
situation. Arrest of Leaders started on 18th September
itself. About 3000 employees and leaders were arrested from Delhi
alone. All over India about 12000 Central Government employees and
leaders were arrested and jailed.
Inspite
of all these brutal repressive measures the strike commenced on 18th after noon
itself at many places and was a thundering success all over India and in all
departments including Railway, Defence, P&T etc. About 64000
employees were served with termination notices, thousands removed from service
and about 40000 employees suspended. Seventeen (17) striking
employees had been brutally killed at Pathankot, Bikaner, Delhi Indraprastha
Bhavan and in Upper Assam lathi charge, firing by police and military and
by running the train over the bodies of employees who picketed the trains.
Though
the strike was only for one day on 19th September 1968,
the victimisation and repression continued for days together. Struggle against
victimisation also continued including work-to-rule agitation, hunger fast of
leaders from 10th October 1968. There was
unprecedented support to the strike and relief work and also to agitation for
reinstatement of the victimized workers, from National Trade Unions, state
employees and teachers Unions / Federations etc. A mass rally was
organised before the residence of Prime Minister of India Smt.
Indira Gandhi on 17th October, 1968.
Kerala
was ruled by the Communist Govt. during the strike. Chief Minister
Com. E.M.S. Namboodiripad declared Kerala Govt’s full support to the strike of Central
Government employees. The Central Govt. threatened dismissal of the
Kerala Govt. for defying the Centre’s directive to suppress the strike.
1968
September 19th strike is written in red letters in the
history of Indian Working Class. The demand raised by the Central
Govt. employees - Need Based Minimum Wage - was the demand of entire working
people of India. Even today, the Central Govt. employees and other
section of the working class are on struggle path for realization of the Need
Based Minimum Wage. The demand of the Central Govt. employees to modify the
recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission to
ensure Need Based Minimum Wage is not yet conceded by the BJP-led NDA
Government. Even the assurance given by three Cabinet Ministers
including Home Minister, Finance Minister and Railway Minister regarding
increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment formula is not honoured by the Govt. even
after a lapse of three years and entire Central Government employees
feel cheated.
It
is in this background, last year we have celebrated the 50th year of 1968
September 19th strike all over the country in a befitting manner. On
the 51st anniversary of the historic strike, let us pledge that we shall
continue our struggle for realization of the demands raised by the martyrs of
the 1968 strike. Let us pay respectful homage to those valiant
fighters who sacrificed their life for the posterity. Let us salute
and honour all those who participated in the historic strike, especially those
who had been victimized severely for joining the strike.
Long
Live 1968 September 19th strike martyr.
Long Live, Long Live.

MOC SH. RAVI SHANKAR PRASAD LAUNCHES MARITIME COMMUNICATION SERVICES
IN INDIA
Ministry
of Communications
SHRI
PRASAD ALSO LAUNCHED A WEB PORTAL FOR REPORTING OF STOLEN MOBILES.
Posted On: 13 SEP 2019
7:46PM by PIB Delhi
Union Minister for
Communications, Electronics & Information Technology and Law & Justice
Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad has launched the maritime communication services at
Mumbai today. He said that Maritime Connectivity will enable high-end support
to those in sea by providing access to Voice, Data and Video services while
traveling on sailing vessels, cruise liners, ships in India, using satellite
technology.
Nelco, India's leading
VSAT solutions provider is the first Indian company that will now provide
quality broadband services to the maritime sector. Nelco through global
partnerships, infrastructure including transponder capacity on satellite of
ISRO Indian Space Research Organization) and a comprehensive service portfolio
will help Energy, Cargo and Cruise vessels by enhancing operational efficiency,
improving crew welfare and enabling customer services. The IFMC licence has not
only enabled connectivity for on-board users on ships but also brings
operational efficiencies for shipping companies which were less evolved until
now.
In December 2018, the
Government of India announced the licenses for In-flight and Maritime
Communications (IFMC) that allows voice and internet services while flying over
the Indian skies and sailing in Indian waters, both for international and
Indian aircrafts and vessels. The IFMC license is a key initiative of the
Telecom Ministry, a move to liberalise satellite communication services in
India.
Speaking on this
occasion, Mr. P J Nath, MD and CEO of NELCO said that they will also be
offering a bouquet of digital services to cater to the needs of the various
types of maritime vessels.Shri Prasad also launched a web portal for reporting
of stolen mobiles for tracing purposes in the august presence of MoS,
Communications Shri Sanjay Shamrao Dhotre.
International Mobile
Equipment Identity (IMEI) is supposed to be an unique identity of a mobile
phone device. Generally, a phone with one/two slots of SIM card is programmed
with one/two IMEI number as the case may be. IMEI number being programmable,
some miscreants do reprogram the IMEI number, which results in cloning of IMEI
causing multiple phone devices with same IMEI number. As on date, there are
many cases of cloned/duplicated IMEI handsets in the network.
If such IMEI is
blocked, a large number of mobile phones will get blocked being handsets with
same IMEI causing inconvenience to many genuine customers. Thus, there is a
need to eliminate duplicate/fake IMEI mobile phones from the network.
Accordingly, a project
called Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) system has been undertaken by
the DoT for addressing security, theft and other concerns including
reprogramming of mobile handsets.
. The major objectives of the project include
following:
· Blocking of
lost/stolen mobile phones across mobile networks thus discouraging theft of
mobile phones
·
·Facilitate in
tracing of such reported lost/stolen mobile phones
·
Prevention of mobile
devices with duplicate and fake IMEIs in the network
·
Curtail the use of
counterfeit mobile devices
·
Reduced health risks
to the users with the control of use of counterfeit mobile phones
·
Improved QoS and
reduced call drops with reduction in use of counterfeit mobile devices
Inflight and Maritime
Telecom Connectivity
In a major policy
decision, Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications had
notified the Flight and Maritime Connectivity (FMC) Rules, 2018 on 14th December,
2018 permitting voice and data service provisioning in flights and ships. The
policy intent of the Government is to open the airspace and territorial waters
for telecommunication services for general public which was not possible
earlier due to lack of enabling rules. Rules envisage creation of satellite
gateway within India for providing telecom services in aircraft and ships
through Indian licensed service providers. Further, Indian satellite bandwidth
has to be utilised. If a foreign satellite is used, it has to be approved by
ISRO.
Only the authorized
IFMC service provider, can provide wireless voice or data or both type of
services on ships within Indian territorial waters and on aircraft within or
above India or Indian territorial waters. Territorial waters are 12 nautical
miles from baseline of the coast and beyond that is the Exclusive Economic Zone
upto 200 nautical miles (1 nautical mile is 1.852 Kms.). 7 Companies viz. (i)
M/s Hughes Communications India Ltd., (ii) M/s Tatanet Services Ltd., (iii) M/s
Indo Teleports Ltd., (iv) M/s BSNL, (v) M/s Reliance JioInfocomm Ltd., (vi) M/s
Cloudcast Digital Ltd. & (vii) M/s Bharti Airtel Ltd. have taken the
authorisation to provide Inflight and Maritime Connectivity (IFMC) services
till date. Gateways for providing services have been established by M/s Hughes
Communications India Ltd. at Gurgaon &Mehboob Nagar (Telangana) and M/s
Tatanet Services Ltd. at Dehradun &Navi Mumbai. BSNL is also in process for
establishing the satellite gateway at Ghaziabad for IFMC service, in tie up
with Inmarsat.
Satellite bandwidth
has been provided on Indian Satellites by ISRO to M/s Hughes Communications
India & M/s Tatanet Services Ltd., for providing IFMC service. BSNL is in
process of taking satellite bandwidth of Inmarsat satellite through ISRO.
M/s Tatanet Services Ltd. are licensed VSAT & Internet Service Providers
and can provide data connectivity services which can be used for data as well
as voice communication over IP. They have tied up with shipping companies (such
as L&T Shipping Ltd.) for maritime connectivity services and have also
installed the remote end equipment in the vessels. Services will be provided
using GST-14 satellite of ISRO in Ku-band (12 - 18 Ghz). M/s Tatanet Services
Ltd. have invested Rs.20 Crore (approx.) for establishing the satellite gateway
and satellite connectivity for providing maritime connectivity services which
is being inaugurated on 13th September 2019 from Mumbai.
Issues regarding Inflight telecom services
For inflight services,
Indian airline companies do not have on-board equipment for delivering the
services. The equipment has to be retrofitted to the aircraft.Retrofitting is
costly and will entail grounding of aircraft. Presently, other than Spice Jet
none of the airlines are ready. Inmarsat equipment are available on few of the
Spice Jet aircraft (13 numbers). Services will be available on these aircraft
once BSNL gateway is ready and ISRO permission is available for Inmarsat
satellite bandwidth. Two meetings with Indian airline companies alongwith
Ministry of Civil Aviation were conducted and it was concluded that no
regulatory issues are pending in DoT or Ministry of Civil Aviation. Airlines
have been requested to start the services in coordination with the IFMC service
providers at the earliest.
