                                    Sub: Observance of “Swachhta Shapath”(pledge) on 2nd Oct-regarding.

Dear Madam

                        First we welcome you on your arrival and taking over the charge as the Chief Postmaster General of this Circle. We are sure that in the interest of service as well as all for common cause of all cross section of postal employees we shall be working together to achieve our present objective.
          Now, unfortunately at the very beginning of this introductory letter we are under compelling circumstances drawing your attention regarding the observance of 2nd Oct as a day of “Swachhta Shapath” as a part of Swachhta Bharat Mission. Actually, we have no contradiction regarding the observance of this mission, as truly framed and dreamt by Mohondas Karamchand Gandhi, father of our nation.



         But this year, this day co-incidentally is also the day of Maha Ashtami of Durga Puja in West Bengal . Enough confusion has already been created, mostly by media, regarding cancellation of leave (though to our knowledge no such govt. orders till date) on 2nd Oct and mandatory presence etc. As it is one of the most auspicious days of religious festivals here involving many customs and rituals like 'Anjali', our staffs are naturally anxious to know the factual situation, particularly when the people of Bengal has already been plunged under the euphoria of this festival. This would not be out of place to mention that this local festival having rich social values has been given the highest importance for many decades in the past.



        In these circumstances we would like to request to comply with so that this“Swachhta Shapath”(pledge) is observed on a later date after the festive session to ensure spontaneous participation of all the employees and thus to achieve the ultimate mission in border sense of the term.



        Hope you will respond positively on this most sensitive matter.

        Thanking you
                                                    Yours faithfully, 


                                   (P.Bhattacharjee)                          (N.C.Dey)               (J.Majumdar)

SWACHH  BHARAT  MISSION  LAUNCHING  ON  2nd  OCTOBER 2014,  THE  DAY  OF  MAHA  ASHTAMI

      Swachh Bharat Mission, a dream project of the Central Govt for making India clean by 2019, will be formally launched on coming 2nd October 2014. The day co-incidentally is also the day of Maha Ashtami of Durga Puja in West Bengal this year. Enough confusion has already been created, mostly by media, regarding cancellation of leave on that date and mandatory presence etc. As it is one of the most auspicious days of religious festivals here involving many customs and rituals like 'Anjali', our staffs are naturally anxious to know the factual situation.

       Circle Union has gathered yesterday that in the letter from the Secretary (Posts) Smt. Kaveri Banerjee, there is no mention of cancellation of leave on 2nd October. In an inner-office order of the Circle Office yesterday, all tiers of officers/supervisors of the C.O. have been requested to attend the conference room on that day with staffs under their control to take a pledge of Swachh Bharat, where Chief PMG will lead. So far we have learnt, similar order may be sent today to all divisions/units. There is no mention of cancellation of national holiday or Maha Ashtami.

        A clean India is like a dream to all of us, so like all responsible citizens we also welcome it. However, as the media has already confused many of us by their contribution of imagination in their reports, The Circle Unions are wriritng to the Chief PMG today to clear the air. Our secretaries and activists are requested to go through the order as and when received, and guide our comrades accordingly. If necessary, feel free to contact Circle Union. 

        Finally, we have a little confusion of our own. Cleanliness drive in this way is definitely a noble challenge. But does 'cleanliness' --- as dreamt by Mahatma Gandhi, only involved removal of dirts, wastages and arrangement of sanitation? Does he not dreamt also of an India clean from corruptions, oppressions and centralisation of wealth to few people? Would the nation be able to see a true and sincere drive for such cleanliness from the leaders of our country? We are also ready to support our Govt in that effort. Will this waiting ever end?

Offg. ASPOs(HQ),  MALDA  DIVN  HAS  BEEN  TRANSFERRED  FINALLY : RELENTLESS  UNITED  STRUGGLE  OF  OUR  COMRADES  YIELDED  RESULT

     The Officiating ASPOs(HQ) of Malda Division, against whom series of complaints of sexual harassment were recorded by our lady comrades of Malda Division in August 2013, has finally been transferred to Dinajpur Division by the Circle Administration.

       Since his joining as ASP(HQ) in officiating capacity, almost all staff were subjected to his ill behaviour and arrogance. The women employees were the worst sufferers and after tolerating his insulting attitude and behaviour upto a certain level, they were compelled to file complaints of sexual harassment against him in August 2013. But instead of taking immediate action and initiate suitable inquiry on such serious complaints, the administration played different intrigues to delay and to protect him.

    The comrades of Malda Division have fought an inspiring struggle since then and denied to bow down before this indecent officer. Series of demonstrations and other trade union movements were launched in the division. The movement later got momentum and spread across the North Bengal Region and then throughout the Circle. Group-C Circle leadership repeatedly visited Malda and North Bengal R.O. especially on this issue. Demonstration program was also floored at Yogayog Bhavan and the issue was brought into the notice of all tiers of officers. The pressure was gradually mounting on the administration for the transfer of this officer.

    Watching tactical delay and reluctance of the administration, the Circle Union organised a demonstration of women workers at the Circle Office and a resolution was sent from there to the present Secretary (Posts) Smt. Kaveri Banerjee. Circle Union also discussed the matter with Smt. S.S.Kujur, DPS(HQ) and the Chairperson of the Womens' Cell of Circle Office. We have heard that she has also contributed with her observations for action against this officer. At the same time, Circle Union also had a legal consultation to assess the feasibility of legal proceedings against him and administrative inaction despite speaking legal provisions and many Supreme Court Rulings. 

    Under such a pressure, finally he has been ordered to be transferred to Dinajpur Division. The Circle Union holds that it is an inspiring instance of the positive outcome and achievement of demand through controlled but intense, relentless struggle coming out of tremendous unity of our comrades. No word is sufficient for the consistency and patience of our comrades of Malda Division, who faced the whims and arrogance of this offg. ASPOs(HQ) daily, but still carried the fight on. Circle Union also thanks all comrades of other divisions who reacted timely in a befitting manner on the call of Circle Union and participated in the demonstrations.

      Let us take a lesson from this movement and march forward with stronger conviction.
