POSTAL  “KABALI” 

The Department of Posts will bring out a ‘Special Carried Cover’ to mark the special aircraft that will fly fans from Bengaluru to Chennai on July 22 viz the day of Kabali movie release. The Karnataka Postal Circle and Chennai City Region of the department have joined hands with Air Asia for the initiative. The Special Covers, which are usually described as ‘Philatelists’ delight’, from the Postmaster General Bengaluru will be addressed to the Postmaster General Chennai City Region. They will bear the postmarks of Bengaluru and Chennai airport post offices.

Whenever a new flight is launched, some special covers are also transported on it and they have their own philatelic value. The Air Asia aircraft is the first cine flight in the country flying exclusively between Bengaluru and Chennai to help fans watch the first day, morning show. That makes the carried cover more memorable. The limited edition of these covers on the special flight on July 22 will be subsequently available for sale at Philatelic Bureau Bengaluru GPO and Anna Road Head Post Office, Chennai.(This article was published on the hindu, July 20, 2016)

The committee shall submit its report within four months. he added.

Shiv Gopal Misra, Convenor, National Joint Council Of Action (NJCA) said that the minimum pay recommended by 7th Pay Commission was not acceptable to the central government employees and hopes that the high level committee, which government will set up to look into raising minimum salary, would do the needful in this regard in stipulated time frame i.e. four months.

Mishra also confirmed from the Finance Ministry that the notification on 7th Pay Commission recommendations is under process and it will be issued shortly, payment may be made from August salary.

The NJCA is an umbrella organisation of various Central Government employees’ unions, including Railways, post and telegraph, defence, Income Tax and other central government unions.

“The notification of 7h Pay Commission recommendations will be issued shortly, so we hopefully say that central government employees will get the increased salaries under the new pay matrix from August,” a source close to the developments told The Sen Times.

PROMOTION ISSUES DUE TO FORMATION OF  “TELANGANA” CIRCLE  :-All   DPCs  for Promotions may  have a chance to held up due to  bifurcation of  A.P Circle. Now A.P circle  is under the process for conduction of  DPCs for promotion to the cadre of PS Gr-B, LSG, HSG-I, HSG-II, Postmaster Grade-II , Postmaster Grade-III and One time measure promotions of   Postmaster grade II/III.  The Circle bifurcation order came into force from 01.07.2016.  Hence conduction of DPCs for these promotions comes under doubt?? and leads some  legal issues. Even the directorate not ordered to stop the running process of DPCs.

STRIKE IS DEFERRED, BUT THE STRUGGLE SHALL CONTINUE

Finally, the united struggle of 33 lakhs Central Government Employees under the banner of National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) comprising Railways, Defence and Confederation has compelled the totally negative and unwilling NDA Government to negotiate with the staff side leaders. Hon’ble Prime Minister has intervened and directed three Cabinet Minsters viz. Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitly and Railway Minister Shri Suresh Prabhu to hold discussion with the NJCA Leaders on 30^th June 2016. After discussing the demands raised in the Charter of demands, the Ministers assured that a high level committee will be constituted to consider the demands raised by NJCA especially the demand for improving the minimum wage and fitment formula.

As no written communication or minutes regarding the assurances given by Group of Ministers is forthcoming, the NJCA met again and 6^th July and decided to go ahead with the strike decision. Again Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh called the NJCA leaders for discussion on 6^thJuly and reiterated the assurances already given on 30^th June and stated that the Finance Minister will issue a press statement on 6^th July itself confirming the assurances given by the Group of Ministers. It was further assured by the Minister that the proposed High level committee will submit its recommendations to Government within a time frame.

Accordingly, the Government issued the press statement and after detailed deliberations the NJCA unanimously decided to defer the indefinite strike till the committee finalizes its report. The press statement of the NJCA and the Government are attached.
