Our Circle union letter dated 03-05-2013, and Regional secretary letters dated 06-05-2013, 12-07
-13 addressed to the PMG Western Region have not made any changes in the situation prevailing
at Krishnagiri, rather it is going to worse.
Divisional unions, after long patience , as no other go, had to issue, bulletins against the torture of
the SPO`S , and also to wage some agitations , the Demonstration on 17-10-2013, and Hunger strike on 28-10-13.
Finally, the Regional Administration has asked Our Circle union to mention the specific cases against the officer for further necessary action.
For this our Circle union is responding here as under.,
List of Specific cases :
Irregularity in repairing the Generator , Krishnagiri HPO campus ;
1)For repairing the Generator, Krishnagiri HPO, the SPOs brought the Mechanic from Theni Division where the SPOs Previously worked, as if no mechanic is available at Krishnagiri or Hosur, and incurred heavy expenditure for the frequent visits of Mechanic from Theni to Krishnagiri and also for the repairing cost., but after all these exercises the Generator is now keep abandoned, resulted in affecting the service due to lack of Generator support , because of mass scale power-cut prevailing in Tamilnadu.
2) Partiality in dealing the disciplinary cases-giving room for suspect- review requested

4)Withholding of Pay and allowances even for small causes:
Sri.D.Srinivasan, SPM ,Berigai S.O. was on leave met with accident extended leave, for this the SPOs issued oral instructions to stop the pay, due to this the official was forced to appear physically in divisional office attiring in dhothi to show his wounds and swellings to SPOs to convince the SPOs. Sri.D.Arunagiri, PA, Krishnagiri HPO extended leave as he had to attend his wife ,who had fallen down In the bath room and get her legs fractured.. His pay was also with held for the extension of leave.
Sri.S.Chinnasamy GDS MD ,Pothapuram B.O. a/w Kaveripattinam , on some public complaints was made to work months together without salary on the instructions of the SPOs. When the concerned official met the SPOs, he scolded the GDS in Tamil language equal to `You are having a body like bull , and shouted at him in singular disrespectful word in Tamil`Go out`[ PODA VELIYE] Sri.M.Rajiv Gandhi an out- sider was engaged as MTS against the departmental Rules. When the issue was raised by the union, he was posted as Gardener hurriedly by incurring extra cost.
5)Unbridled verbal abuse and using of filthy language against the officials;
The SPOs is freely using indecent words against the employees normally, in case of ladies it is in excess. Smt.Krithika Subramanian, formerly Manager, Speed post Business office , Hosur , who got appreciation from the past Chief PMG Ms.Shanthinair, was forced to go on voluntary retirement on 30-01-2012, not tolerating the SPO`s verbal abuse.
