on 15.12.2016 in New Delhi where he went to participate in the 'Parliament
March' at the call of the Confederation. He could not participate in the March
as he fell sick from the previous night, reportedly from chest pain, and was
taking rest at the Kalibari, where the West Bengal comrades stayed. He was
brought to Ram Manoha Lohiya Hospital , New Delhi by our comrade and stayed back at kali Bari after medical
treatment.
But during the day of the program, his
condition worsened and he passed away at Kalibari. He was only 51, left two
daughters with their mother and his own aged parents at home. His brother went
to New Delhi to receive his mortal body after post mortem. He was discharging
the responsibilities of the Divl Secretary since the year 2012.

THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG. REV'S ED ALLOWANCES WILL NOT BE PAID IN THIS FINANCIAL YEAR – ALLOWANCES COMMITTEES TIME LIMIT EXTENDED UP TO 22.02.2017.
CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AGAIN CHEATED BY NDA GOVERNMENT
STRIKE IS INEVITABLE
MAKE 15th DECEMBER PARLIAMENT MARCH
A THUNDERING SUCCESS!
Dr. Urjith R Patel, Governor, Reserve Bank of India has made the following observations in a media conversation which is published in RBI website.
(1) The disbursement of salaries and arrears under 7th Pay Commission award has not been disruptive to inflation outcomes.
(2) The extension of two months given to the Ministry of Finance to receive the notification on higher allowances under the Pay Commission's award, COULD PUSH IT'S FULLER EFFECT INTO THE NEXT FINANCIAL YEAR rather than this financial year.
The above statement by the Governor, RBI clearly indicates that THE ALLOWANCES WILL BE REVISED ONLY AFTER FEBRUARY 2017 AND WILL COME INTO EFFECT IN THE NEXT FINANCIAL YEAR ONLY.
Earlier to a question regarding increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment formula Minister of State for Finance Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal gave the following reply in the Raja Sabha on 23.11.2016.
"The anomalies arising out of implementation of 7th Central Pay Commission will be examined by the Anomaly Committee which has already been constituted. Based on the report of the Committee, the matter will be considered by the Government and appropriate decision will be taken.
From the reply it is clear that the question of increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment factor is to be decided by the Anomaly Committee. That is why the Government has not formally constituted THE HIGH LEVEL COMMITTEE as assured by the Group of Ministers to the JCM Staff side leaders in the 30th June night discussion. And this is the reason for Group of Senior Officers behaving as if they .don't know what the task is assigned to them. Now by 30th December SIX months will be over after the 30th June assurance given by Group of Ministers including Shri Rajnath Singh , Hon'ble Home Minister , Shri Arun Jaitley , Hon'ble Finance Minister and Shri Suresh Prabhu , Hon'ble Railway Minister . Employees and Leaders have never expected such blatant breach of assurance given by Senior Cabinet Ministers of NDA Government.
The revision of pay and pension of thousands of Autonomous body employees and Pensioners is also pending for the last six months. On 17.11.2016 Finance Ministry has given instructions to all Autonomous bodies NOT TO EXTEND the benefits of 7th CPC to employees and Pensioners of Autonomous bodies UNTIL FURTHER ORDERS.
The One man Committee constitute by Government for revision of wages and service conditions of three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks of Postal Department had submitted it's report to Government on 24th November 2016. Even after 20 days, the Government is not ready to publish the report or give copy to the recognised Federations.
The revision of wages of Casual, Part-time Contingent and Contract workers, consequent on implementation of 7th CPC wage revision is also pending.
The one and the only favourable recommendation of 7th CPC ie; Parity between past and present pensioners (Option - 1) stands referred to a Committee which has taken a stand that Option - 1 is not feasible.
None of the demands raised by Confederation in its 20 point charter of demands is settled.
THERE IS NO SHORT-CUT OTHER THAN STRUGGLE.
AWAKE! ARISE!! UNITE COMRADES!!!

SUCCESS MARCH TO PARLIAMENT ON 15 DEC.’ 16
Don’t believe on rumor
Some interest
corners are spreading message that March to Parliament on 15 December’ 2016 has
been postponed. This is simply rumor. Don’t believe.
Some interest
corners are spreading this only to strengthen the hand of Central Govt. who is not ready to agree with our
legitimate demands minimum pay, good fitment formula, 5 promotion etc. in 7th
CPC.
So, take all
our preparation to success March to Parliament on 15 March’ 2016.

Demonstration before RBI, Kolkata
The Co-ordination Committee of
Central Govt. Employees and Workers Union & Association (COC), West Bengal
demonstrated successfully on 6th December' 2016 before RBI, Kolkata against harassment of Central
Govt. Employees and Pensioners as a result of demonetization. After
demonstration, the leaders of COC met Regional Director of RBI. She assured
them best endeavour, but could not convey a time frame by which status quo ante
can be restored.
REVISED MEMORANDUM AND RESOLUTIONS TO BE ADOPTED FROM TODAY'S PROGRAM
Comrades, there will be a modification in the resolutions to be adopted from today's program which were given in this blog yesterday.
(1) The GDS Pay Committee related resolution and recipients will remain the same.
(2) The charter of demand prepared by the Central Postal JCA will have to be submitted to the DG (Posts) and the Hon'ble Minister of Communications, Govt of India, along with the following text of resolution:
This demonstration of all cross-sections of postal employees of West Bengal Circle condemns the inaction and reluctance of the management of the Department of Posts towards solving the 17-points demands placed centrally by the Central JCA and demands justifiable settlement to each of the issues at the earliest.
(3) The resolution on the issues shortlisted by the Circle Unions will have to be adopted in the following format and be sent to the Chief Postmaster General, concerned Postmaster General and the Secretary General of NFPE.
This
demonstration of postal employees and workers of ____________ division/unit
expresses its strong protest and deep resentment over (1) the non-Payment of
due revised wage to the Part-Time Workers and non-disbursement of working wage
to DRMs at various divisions/units and unrealistic termination of their
engagement entailing in dislocation of service and unjustified pressure on
working staffs ; (2) Inaction of West Bengal Circle Administration to remove
huge WOS currency notes from post offices and supply of sufficient legal tender
currency notes instead. The post offices, Head Offices in particular, are being
subjected to whims of bank management and humiliation before public. The role
of a section of officers belonging to different tiers are lacking of parity,
proportion and transparency.
This demonstration is particularly critical of the
misinterpretation of Dte. order regarding pay advance and its implication
towards adjustment while payment of salary by the Circle Office, for which
salary of all employees for the month of November 2016 were paid in cheque, at
some places including GDS officials though they were not covered in Dte.
order.
This demonstration demands justifiable solution to all the
above problems in no time to bring about change in the present scenario of
indifference and inaction, otherwise circlewide trade union movement of
unprecedented intensity will be resorted to.
