Department of Posts launches ‘Express Parcel’ and ‘Business Parcel’ Services
December 03, 2013
Kalaivaraikalai
The Department of Posts, Ministry of Communications & IT, here launched an ‘Express Parcel’ service. The service was launched by
Smt. P. Gopinath, Secretary, Department of Posts, at a function
organized at New Delhi G.P.O.
Speaking on the occasion Smt. Gopinath said that ‘Express Parcel’ is a
premium parcel service for retail as well as bulk customers. It offered
time bound, safe and secure home delivery of parcels. To have minimal
transit time these parcels will be given airlift wherever needed. Bulk
customers would also have an economical option of surface transported
‘Business Parcel’.
These two new parcel services aim to promote the e-commerce market in
India by offering reliable and cost efficient delivery solutions.
Whereas ‘Express Parcel’ is an air mail service providing guaranteed
time bound delivery of parcels, ‘Business Parcel’ will provide fast,
secure and cost efficient transmission of parcels through surface. These
services will have ‘Cash on Delivery’ facility which has become a
pre-requisite today for e-commerce parcels.
Though ‘Business Parcels’ will have a nationwide coverage, the
‘Express Parcel’ service will initially be available between 20
identified cities: Agra, Banglore,Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Delhi (NCR),
Patna, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indoor, Jaipur, Jammu, Kolkata, Lucknow,
Ludhiana, Mumbai, Pune, Parwanoo, Shillong, Surat and Thiruvanthapuram.
This service will be expanded nationwide in phased manner. Bothe these
services are being offered at a very attractive tariff, said Smt.
Gopinath.

13 years after port peon’s death, widow wins fight for job
December 03, 2013
Kalaivaraikalai
More than 13 years after her husband, a peon with the Chennai
Port Trust (CPT), died and eight years after she was unfairly denied a
job under compassionate grounds, a widow has won back her wage arrears
and seniority, plus 1 lakh in costs.
Justice K K Sasidharan, whose order directing the port to give S
Jayachitra a job was upheld by a division bench and commended by
the Supreme Court, said he was closing the contempt petition with a
sense of satisfaction that the woman was able to enjoy the fruits of her
litigation in her lifetime.
Jayachitra's husband died on November 3, 2000, leaving behind her, a
minor daughter and his mother. Though she filed an application for a job
on compassionate grounds on November 15, 2000, the CPT took four years
to call for her bio-data. In May 2005 the port appointed two others who
were below her in the waiting list. Her application was rejected in 2010
saying it was pending for more than three years from the date the
employee died.
Justice Sasidharan on November 16, 2012 directed the CPT to appoint her
within two months. The CPT's appeal was dismissed by a division bench.
As she was not given appointment orders, she filed a contempt petition.
The CPT then moved the SC, which on October 30, 2013 lambasted it for
filing frivolous appeals. The apex court imposed 1 lakh cost on CPT.
She filed another contempt petition to finally realise her decade-long
pursuit for employment. But the CPT fixed a lower payscale for her,
prompting Justice Sasidharan to pull up the authorities yet again. On
November 20, the CPT fixed the correct payscale for her and her
seniority would be from 2005 when two persons junior to her were
appointed.
Justice Sasidharan said the state should wage legal battle only in
deserving cases. Flaying the CPT, he said its officials dragged poor
people into unnecessary litigation by behaving as if they are masters of
the public.

நம்ம திருநெல்வேலி கதை கேளு .....................
சில தினங்களுக்கு முன்னால் நமது உதவி கோட்ட அதிகாரி ஒருவர் மதுரைக்கு மாற்றப்பட்டார் (அவரின் சொந்த ஊருக்கு அருகில் ) ஏன் எதற்கு என்று யாரும் அறியார். ஆனால் முழு பூசணிக்காயை சோற்றில் மறைக்கும் நமது திருவாளர்கள் சில தினங்களுக்கு முன்னர் தாங்கள் நடத்திய ஆர்பாட்டத்திற்கு கிடைத்த வெற்றி என்று களிப்படைவது வியப்பில்லை.
இந்த மாற்றம் ஏன் எதற்கு என்பதல்ல நமது கேள்வி ?
இதனால் தோழர்களே நமக்கு என்ன பயன் ? என்பதுதான் .
Put Off செய்யப்பட்ட மூன்று தோழர்கள் மறு பணிஅமர்வு செய்யப்பட்டனரா? இல்லையே ? நமக்கு வெற்றி என்பது மற்றவரின் மாற்றத்தில் இல்லை
உண்மையில் தோழர்களின் மறு பணிஅமர்வு தான் (உண்மையில் Put Off Cancel செய்யப்படுவது தான்).
அது அல்லாமல் இலக்கை மறந்து வெற்றி களிப்படைவது வேதனையானது.
ஓ........... இதை தான் கிராமத்தில் சிட்டு குருவி உட்கார பனைமரத்தில் பனம்பழம் விழுவதாக கூறுவார்களோ.........

JCM - Agenda

Agenda Items for Departmental Council (JCM) Meeting on 27th November, 2013.
SMS alerts in post offices soon, Now in Hyderabad.
November 26, 2013
Kalaivaraikalai
HYDERABAD: In a novel initiative, India Post will use short message service (SMSs) alert system to deliver dak to citizens. In the new system, people expecting mail, including Speed Post and parcels, will now get an SMS alert before the local postman delivers them at the designated address. India Post (Department of Posts) is making all efforts to launch the system from December second week in post offices across the state.
"We have named the new system 'Mee Uttaram Vachindi' (your letter has come). India Post has tied up with National Informatics Center (NIC) recently. A trail run has begun at some post offices and we got positive response to the service. Andhra Pradesh will be the first state in the country to launch the free SMS alert system, chief postmaster general, AP Circle, B V Sudhakar told TOI.
With the service fully operational, citizens would not miss their dak or would not have to do the rounds of the local post office. At times, postmen find door lock and return the dak without delivering them. "It has become a headache to postmen to visit houses on more than one occasion to deliver the dak. As a result, dak has been piling up at post offices," he added.
"To avoid these problems, India Post has decided to introduce SMS alert to deliver the dak promptly. However, we will need mobile numbers of both the sender and receiver," the official added.
The postman would send an SMS to the addressee an hour before delivering the mail. After delivering the dak, an SMS would also be sent to the sender stating 'letter delivered.'

Bharat Ratna - Sachin Tendulkar
November 17, 2013
Kalaivaraikalai
"I dedicate this award to my mother," the man called the God of Cricket said. Sachin had made special arrangements to ensure his mother, Rajni Tendulkar, watched his 200th and last Test match against West Indies at Mumbai's Wankhede stadium, which ended today. (Sachin says goodbye with tears)
Sachin, 40, will the youngest recipient of the award. He is also the first sportsperson to be chosen for the honour.
Chintamani Nagesa Ramachandra Rao, who serves as the head of the Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India, also joins the select list of India's 41 Bharat Ratnas.
An international authority on solid state and materials chemistry, the 79-year-old scientist has authored about 45 books and 1500 research papers in his career spanning over five decades. He is the third man of science after C V Raman and former President APJ Abdul Kalam to be given the Bharat Ratna.
For Sachin Tendulkar the announcement crowned a prolonged and emotional farewell from a tearful nation of cricket lovers. He finished exactly 24 years of playing Test cricket for India yesterday, ending his last innings with a sublime 74. He holds almost every batting record in the book and is acknowledged by many as the world's best batsman ever.
There have been demands for several years now that India's most prolific batsman be honoured as a Bharat Ratna or India's gem. The award is given in recognition of exceptional service of the highest order. It was instituted in 1954.
The last Bharat Ratna was conferred upon Hindustani music doyen Bhimsen Joshi in 2009.
