Letter to PMG SR

431/BI-SR/2013                                                                                                                                 16-12-2013

To

Smt.J.Charukesi,

Post Master General,

Southern Region,

Madurai-625002.

Madam,

    Sub: Undue delay in conducting of bi-monthly meeting and non grant of informal meeting                                     reg.

                                The last bi-monthly meeting of southern Region held on 17.07.2013.  Nearly 5 months passed  from that meeting.  But subsequent bi-monthly meeting, which is due in every two months period not conducted so far.  Finally the bi-monthly meeting was notified to have held on 20.11.2013  and it was postponed to 18.12.2013 and further postponed to 30.12.2013, again now it has been informed by the Regional Office that it has been postponed to 10.01.2014.  For attending the bi- monthly meeting being a Circle Secretary at Chennai every time to come to Madurai, I am facing very difficult to get the confirmed tickets booked  in Railways.  With all difficulties purchased tickets have to be cancelled frequently and our union un-necessarily incur the expenditure of cancellation charges and further booking is getting very much difficult.  More over as the bi-monthly meetings are not conducted in due time, our circle union is not able to discuss the important issues related to staff generally. 

                                Therefore our union requests the PMG to conduct the Bi-Monthly meetings  periodically and the current bi-monthly meeting has been scheduled on 10.01.2014 which is  very  long time from now, as an interim measure, my Regional Secretary Sri N.J Uthayakumaran may please be granted an informal meeting, which was already requested by him as to facilitate for discussing the issues. 

                                With kind regards,

                                                                                                                                                                    Yours sincerely,
/G.P. MUTHUKRISHNAN/

                                                                                                                                                                    Circle Secretary,
