Dear Comrades,

NEW CONTROLLER GENERAL OF ACCOUNTS TAKEN CHARGE

You are aware, Shri Anthony Lianzuala has taken over the charge of Controller General of Accounts on 1^st May, 2017. He had been working as Additional Controller General of Accounts before taking the charge of Controller General of Accounts.

On 1^st May, 2017 itself, the Co-ordination Committee of Civil Accounts Employees & Officers Associations vide its letter dated 01.05.2017 has congratulated and requested  Shri Anthony Lianzuala, CGA to convene a courtesy meeting with the Delhi based representatives of the Co-ordination Committee so that a Memorandum on the pending demands could be submitted to him. (Copy of the letter has already been circulated through circular of COC of Civil Accounts Employees & Officers Associations).

In pursuance of the above, Secretary General had also met the new Joint Controller General of Accounts, Dr. (Smt.) Shakuntala on 4^th April, 2017 and requested her to arrange the proposed courtesy meeting. She had assured to do the needful.

Apart from discussing on the request of courtesy meeting, Secretary General had also brought it to the notice of the Joint Controller General of Accounts that, with a vindictive and vengeant attitude, the authorities of Principal Chief Controller of Accounts, Central Board of Excise and Customs, in violation of Department of Personnel Training norms have been insisting on All India Civil Accounts Employees Associations through their repeated letters to relive Secretary General from the Central Headquarters of AII India Civil Accounts Employees Association where he is at present working for the whole time on foreign service terms  and direct him to report for duty in Pay and Accounts Office, Central Excise, New Delhi. As the authorities of Principal Chief Controller of Accounts, Central Board of Excise and Customs has been doing so with the intention of disrupting the functioning of the Association and taking vindictive action against the individual concerned, these have also been explained to the Joint Controller General of Accounts  by the Secretary General and  he handed over the copies of the letters written to Controller General of Accounts by the President of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association in this regard.

It has been brought to our knowledge that, the adversaries to National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations and Co-ordination Committee of Civil Accounts Employees & Officers Associations being unable to break the rock like unity of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II and All India Association Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil) are playing mischief from behind the screen. Therefore, we should keep vigil and act in such a manner that these forces are isolated by our members and they perish.

Our objective of achieving our eleven point demands including the demand of Cadre Review is moving in proper direction and if we continue our struggle unitedly, we shall definitely be able to achieve our goal. No disruptive force shall be able to deviate us from our objective.
