Dear Comrades,

 

GOOD PREPARATION TO FIGHT BACK

The preparations for the show down have been going on well. Posters have been dispatched to all Branches and Units of the country. In Delhi, Central Office Bearers have been moving from unit to unit in a routine manner, explaining the issues, distributing hand bills/Posters and appealing upon the members to participate and make the Mass Dharna in front of CGA Office on 8^th December2010 a grand success. We expect an overwhelming response of the Civil Accounts Employees in the programme.

We are sure, all out station Branches and Units have been preparing for the Mass Dharna and the participants are now ready to board in to the trains. All Branches/Units are once again requested to send list of the persons who shall be coming to participate in the Dharna without further delay.

Boarding and lodging of outstation participants have been arranged by the federation headquarters. The Accommodation for stay of out station participants shall be -

"Chug Dharamsala,

Udyan Marg,

New Delhi -110001".

The accommodation shall be available from 7^th to 9^th December 2010.

Departmental Anomaly Committee Meeting

 

The Departmental Anomaly Committee Meeting was held on 23^rd November 2010 under the chairpersonship of Addl. Secretary (Revenue). Secretary General (the lone staff side member from Civil Accounts organization) and Com. A. K. Mehta, Vice President, AICAEA (representing AICAEA) attended the meeting.

Despite pointing out in writing and explaining personally to the Director (A), Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure on 22^nd November 2010 by us, he did not agree to invite even a single officer from the Civil Accounts organization (CGA) as official side member in the Anomaly Committee and took an adamant position that, when CGA did not refer any item to him so far there was no question of involving CGA in this matter.

Similarly, CGA office was also requested by us in writing to pursue the matter of the presence of the officers from CGA office as official side representative in the meeting from Civil Accounts Organization in the greater interest of different categories of employees of Civil Accounts Organization. But CGA Office did not take any action. Subsequently when they were requested verbally on 22^nd November to intervene into the matter, they stood on their ego and told us that, since they have not been invited, they would not approach the authorities of Ministry of Finance for their induction as official side representatives in the Anomaly Committee.

The meeting of 23^rd November was however inconclusive. Due to paucity of time, a few items were discussed and adopted as anomaly items out of the 28^th items referred by representatives of different Departments functioning under Revenue, Economic Affairs and Expenditure. It has been decided by the Chairman that another meeting will be convened for discussion of rest of the issues and their consideration as anomaly items. Four issues referred from AICAEA had not been discussed and those are expected to come up for discussion in the next meeting.

HOW TO TAKE LEAVE?

Since it has been decided that, AICAEA, AICAEA CAT II and NFCAA shall hold extended National/Federal executive meetings on 7^th, 8^th and 9^th December 2010 respectively, separate notices have been issued by all these forums.         

All Branches/Units (stations not functioning under any Branch)  are requested to  hold meetings of their Branches/Units in pursuance of the Notice issued by their respective Central Headquarters and issue circular depicting  the list of members who are to attend the extended National Executive Meeting to be held at Delhi from 7^th to 9^th December 2010.

All members in the list issued by Branch are to apply Special Casual Leave (for three days plus journey period) to their respective heads of the departments through proper channel by enclosing the copy of the Notice of the Central Headquarter and the Circular of the Branch.
