GS VISIT SHOULD BE RESULT ORIENTED

I am grateful for the efforts everyone is putting on the IP GP issue. I was besieged when I received a call from our GS and our President updating me on the same. I immediately called Sh. Roop Chand Ex-GS and asked for support, he assured me to pursue the IP issue in Directorate by visiting there off and on. I know new GS and ex-GS have to put a lot of extra time, the result thereof will definitely pay off to success. At the same time I have learned of a situation for that, I am seriously concerned and bring to the kind notice of all. It is my understanding that nobody knows the fate of IPGP file that is our main issue. Though new GS has visited Directorate but no news about the fate and whereabouts of the file has emerged. There was perhaps a U-turn on merger issue as rightly sited on blog by CS Odisha. I will say that we could not distinguish between two issues, one GP issue another cadre restructuring. The merger of IP/ASP was a part of cadre review and GP issue was nothing to do with this. In fact, if there needs to be, two letters should go to the directorate first one GP issue about which we should write and has been written “Inspector Posts should be granted Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- with effect from 01/01/2006 at par with Inspectors of CBDT / CBEC in tune with directions of the Hon’ble CAT, Ernakulam Bench” and there should be no mention of denying or accepting merger. Second resolution should be with reference to directorate letter no. 01/01/2001-SR dated 14/11/2011 that is in fact with reference to cadre restructuring as demanded by Directorate in view of cadre review meeting. In this proposal there was no harm to accept the conditional merger proposal wherein there should precondition “ The association is not against the merger of IP/ASP subject to the condition that under cadre review and consequent upon merger of IP/ASPs promotion span of IPs to PSS Group “B” should be 8-10 years from the present 25-27 years”. This was a part of second proposal formulated by us but was unfortunately turned down by the house. Sh. Ajith Kurian and Sh. B.B Mohanty know it better. Any way, now the time has come when New GS and President should take up IP GP issue with Hon’ble Minister and speak of injustice at every platform. The visit to Directorate should be result oriented other wise take legal recourse the only way out with us.
