                                    SOLIDARITY TO BSNL EMPLOYEES

                           All Affiliates & State Committees (COCs)

Dear Comrades,

                        

                    As you are aware BSNL Employees are organizing TWO DAYS NATIONWIDE STRIKE on 21st & 22nd April 2015. Their main demand is "SAVE BSNL & SAVE NATION" ie:; to change the anti-BSNL and anti-people Telecom policy of the NDA Govt which is aimed at destroying the public sector BSNL paving way for for eventual privatization. After Modi Govt coming to power, the same policy is being vigorously pursued in all Central Govt services including the biggest departments like Railways, Defence and Postal. Needless to say that success of our struggle against this policy of the Govt depends upon the success of the struggle of BSNL workers. .

               National Secretariat of the Confederation calls upon all affiliates and COCs to express solidarity with the fighting BSNL workers by holding demonstration in front of BSNL offices at all important centers during the two day's strike.

 Yours fraternally,

 MKrishnan,

 Secretary General,

 Confederation.

Court stays recruitment process

            The Aurangabad bench of the Bombay high court (HC) has stayed the recruitment process being conducted by the postal department. During the entrance examination conducted at 26 centres across the state on March 29, some visually impaired students in Osmanabad were denied entry on the grounds that they were accompanied by writers/scribe having qualification above std X. Thereafter, five visually impaired students had approached the court.

            In January this year, the postal department had invited online applications from eligible candidates for direct recruitment for the posts of postman/mail guard in postal/RMS divisions.

            The department's notification clearly provided specific reservation for visually impaired candidates. Accordingly, the eligible visually impaired candidates applied by January 24 and were provided online admit cards soon.

            Lawyer Swapnil Tawshikar, who filed a writ petition in the HC on behalf of the aggrieved party, told TOI, "In the list of instructions mentioned on the admit cards, visually impaired candidates were allowed to take assistance of scribe/writers for the said examination. However, 25 such candidates, who reached the exam centre in Osmanabad, were not allowed to appear for the examination on the ground that the writers brought by them had education qualification above matriculation."

            Vishal Lohare (24), a native of from Latur district, along with four students decided to represent the 25 candidates who were not allowed to appear for the examination. All the five candidates approached the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay HC and filed a writ petition through lawyers Tawshikar and Anant Devakate. Tawshikar said the HC bench comprising justices SS Shinde and PR Bora heard the matter on April 10. The lawyers told the court the guidelines issued by the central government make it clear that visually impaired people can take assistance of writers while appearing for any written examination. The guidelines further mention that there shall be no restrictions on education qualifications, marks and age of the writer.

Money Order Service of ‘India Post’ Made more Efficient

          The Department of Posts has denied some media reports that its Money Order service has been discontinued. The Money Order service continues to be available to the common man at the same service charge with the same facility of the money being delivered at the door step of the addressee. The Department in a clarification further said that this service had been made more reliable and fast by communicating information about the money to be transferred electronically between the booking and delivery post office. Thus, the money reaches faster to the addressee. The nature of service remains the same and it is also being called an electronic Money Order or eMO. Department of Posts also has another service offering instant online Money transfer service called as Instant Money Order (iMO), where the receiver can receive payment in cash through Post Offices.

POSTAL DEPT. ON THE E-WAY TO KEEP MONEY ORDER RELEVANT-- PRESS NEWS

            Adapting:Much of the process of sending a money order has been digitised over the years—Photo: K. Pichumani

            Amid today’s communication revolution, post offices too have come a long way from the days of money orders delivered with handwritten notes.

            The sending and recording of money orders was computerised in 2008. A customer could opt for various options — electronic money order, instant money order, mobile money order and international money order. However, the volume of money orders despatched has come down and today, nearly 90 per cent of such transactions involve beneficiaries of various State and Central welfare schemes, including old age pension.

            A recent rumour that the money order service has been scrapped sent shock waves among postal customers and staff. Recalling those days when postal staff had to manually record the details such as form number and sanctioned amount, J. Srivenkatesh, circle president ( P3 Union TN Circle) of National Federation of Postal Employees, said: “People still continue to fill forms manually. But we have switched over to electronic mode of operations.”

            Clarifying that there were no plans to withdraw the service, Mervin Alexander, post master general (Chennai City Region), said nearly nine lakh money orders are handled in the region every month.

            But, mobile money transfer service wherein the customer must produce a text message with secret code to receive money is yet to catch up.
