37th  BIENNIAL  CIRCLE  CONFERENCE : 01.11.2015  TO  04.11.2015 : ALL  ROADS  TO  SURI  NOW

    Comrades, it is just a day in between when we are going to meet at our Circle Conference at Indoor Stadium, Suri, Birbhum. The Reception Committee has spent several sleepless nights to ensure that the arrangements do not have any flaw. Now it is upto us to ensure that the conference satisfies the organisational needs of the moment.

   As organisers, we are now facing multiple challenges. Our prime task is to achieve a new hight in the ensuing strike on 1st & 2nd December 2015. The GDS membership is the another one, which is also expected to be declared shortly. There are administrative attacks and reluctance towards the issued raised by our organisation. The roll-out schemes --- CBS, PLI/RPLI, AV-AD, RICT --- everything on an under-prepared infrastructure and inadequate fund has put a big question mark in front of us. There are radical changes like Post Bank, expectations and apprehensions on Cadre Restructuring and 7th CPC --- we have to analyse the hopes and threats realistically.

    Identifying the attacks and problems are not sufficient. These should be followed by organisational introspection. We have to assess our achievements, failures, roles and contributions in the organisation and on the basis of those, the road map has to be formulated for the next two years. The elements of hope which may lead to success should be identified as well. It is not only despair around us, people of the working class, literary, cultural and scientific geniuses are also getting gradually close and united to protest social evils.  

      We, therefore, request our delegates and visitors to attend the Circle Conference with required homework done carefully, going through our draft secretarial report and of course after completing the Organisational Proforma Report.

  Let us meet at Indoor Stadium (Com. Kumarananda Chatterjee Nagar), Suri, Birbhum.

Organizational Proforma Report is given below.

Please download this copy and fill up all the points properly. Before collecting credential etc at Circle Conference venue, this proforma report must have to be handed over to Circle Union.

OR

At least attend Circle conference having been equipped with all the required information & documents ( item no 1 to 21 ), so that you may fill up the form, supplied at the venue, if not prepared earlier.

Joining /In-house training order of PA  of Nadia North Division issued 

2013-14  BATCH  P.A.  :  JOINING  ORDER  ISSUED  IN  SIKKIM  DIVISION UNDER WEST BENGAL CIRCLE

.    

After Central Kolkata Division in Kolkata Region, Sikkim Division in North Bengal Region has issued in-house training order for remaining 9 days for their P.A. candidates of 2013-14 batch. Please note that the order has been issued by DPS, Gangtok, as in case of Sikkim, he is  the Divl Head (not SSPOs or SPOs). our Divl Secretaries may now easily cite these two orders as references as one of these two has been issued by a Group-A officer and another one by an IPS.

    We hope this should be sufficient to ensure other divisions that there is no more complication. Divl.Heads should now issue orders without further delay. Comrades please follow up and report circle union accordingly.

         

 

    Circle Union Team wishes a ceremonious and happening Puja Festival for everybody.

      The festival does not remain so for 888 workers of Kohinoor Teas Estate (photo above). Yesterday, the owner has declared 'Suspension of Work' in this Tea Garden under Shamuktala P.S., Alipurduar, North Bengal. The salary of workers were overdue, the owners have released only a part of due salary, and decision of 'No Bonus' was announced. Aggrieved workers protested, and they are 'out of job' just a day before the Puja. 

     Puja is no more a festival for them.  

2013-14  BATCH  P.A.  :  JOINING  ORDER  ISSUED  IN  CENTRAL  KOLKATA  DIVISION

       Finally, Central Kolkata Division has issued the order the for 12-days in-house training for the P.A.s of 2013-14 batch, being the first division in West Bengal Circle. The training will commence from 28.10.2015. As per present rule of department, this date will be treated as the joining date of the candidates and the service will continue from this date.

    This proves that there is no administrative difficulty in the way of issuing such order in other divisions if the re-verification report is alright. All divisional secretaries are requested to jump into action if the divisional/unit head is reluctant/inactive in this regard.

  Divl Secretaries please meet the divl/unit heads to demand commencing in-house training within this month. Seek deputation on 27.10.2015 with heads at divisional levels and submit a resolution, if action is not taken in your division. This has to be resolved before proceeding to Circle Conference.

     Please keep liaison with Circle Union and intimate us the position of your division. Circle Zonal Conveners are requested to monitor.

CIRCLE  UNION  ISSUES  LETTER  TO  THE  CHIEF PMG  TO  EXPEDITE  JOINING  OF  2013-14 BATCH  P.A.s/S.A.s

  We are concerned to note that even after repeated correspondences and discussions from NFPE Group of Circle Unions and instruction from the Circle Office to Divisional Heads, joining order has not been issued in any division. This is objectionable, as almost in all divisions the empowered committee has completed re-verification to their satisfaction, except cases of a very few candidates where some more documentary formalities are needed. There is no logical explanation to this delay, just the files are stuck.

  The situation, in our opinion, needed intervention of Chief PMG once again, as she took the earlier initiative to advance the date of completion of verification in our circle. So, Group-C Circle Union has handed over this letter to her today and requested to intervene. 

  Divisional Secretaries are also requested to raise the demand and pressurise respective Divisional Heads to act on it. If they need any guidance or order, they must seek it from the C.O. immediately and cannot be allowed to sit idly expecting C.O. to act first. 

 So far the rising tension among the candidates is concerned, we would request you to please keep your calm. We are closely monitoring the situation and keeping contact with the C.O. It is our responsibility not to go this serious issue loose. We experience this type of administrative inaction on many issues and occasions, that is why we declared that only lifting of abeyance order was not sufficient, we have to follow it up until joining of every fairly selected candidate. We are relentlessly pursuing it. 

  Let us all remain united.
