27-04-2017 DHARNA PROGRAMME BY NFPE & AIPEU-GDS - MAKE IT A GRAND SUCCESS

Dear Comrades,

NFPE & AIPEU-GDS have given a call to hold day long DHARNA in front of all Divisional Offices / Regional Offices / Circle Offices in all Circles demanding the implementation of all positive Recommendations of  Shri Kamalesh Chandra Committee Report on GDS at the earliest.

Shri Kamalesh Chandra Committee submitted its report on 24th November 2017 and after about a month it was made available to the GDS members & public. Further it was published after the assurance given by the Department to Election Commission not to initiate any follow up action till March 15, 2017 because of election code. With this, about 4 months of time has been lapsed without any progress.

The process of implementation of the Committee Recommendations started by 17 March 2017 constituting an 'implementation committee' . It is learnt that now the file is under the consideration of the Finance wing. After that it has to pass through the procedural steps and will take more and more time for implementation of the Recommendations.

With this delay, thousands of retiring GDS lost their genuine & justified benefits, who sacrificed their sweat & tear for  decades-long services in the Department.

We had bitter experiences with the previous GDS Committees' implementation processes which were detained for months & months together caused the lives of GDS at the age of 65 in to distress with heavy financial loss.

Even though Shri Kamalesh Chandra Committee has explored many things good for GDS this time, to our dismay the process kept idle with enough time.

Hence, NFPE & AIPEU-GDS given a call at the first step to show our resentment and demanding the Govt. & Department for the implementation of all positive recommendations of Shri Kamalesh Chandra Committee Report with in a short period.

NFPE & AIPEU-GDS requesting GDS & all the members of affiliated unions to make this agitation programme a grand success in all the Divisions / Circles all over the nation.
