Decision:
           Construction of DA (P) Office identified under 12th Five-Year plan projects. A letter to Directorate for approval of revised SOA submitted vide Building Section letter No. Bldg / Admn.I / DA (P) bldg 12th FYP/14-15 dated 13.06.2014. 
ITEM CLOSED
Official Side – NEW Items 
Official Side – New Items:
Item No. 1-08/2014:
Restriction  on Rule 38 transfers in respect of Visakhapatnam Postal Division :
         SSPOs, Visakhapatnam Dn. reported that out of 248 Postal Assts only 34 officials are below 40 yrs of age, Every year the DR vacancies are being filled with Rule 38 transfers from other Dns/Regions/Circle.  The pending Rule 38 transfers to Visakhapatnam Region are 13.  Out of these some are again above 40 years of age.  Thus Visakhapatnam division is not having a fair proportion of younger generation staff who are well versed with computers and physically mobile and agile staff who can easily adopt to the rigors of the new environment and projects.   Hence  a proposal  was sent to CO on  4.7.2013 vide  RO, VM letter ST/38/110  and requested to review the position to approve the decision to stop incoming Rule 38 transfers for a period of 5 yrs in view of inability of older staff to cope up with the new skill sets.
CO vide letter s/Misc/R-38/2011 dt 19.7.2013 has examined  and the suggestion is not agreed to as  (1) There are no Directorate orders to stop Rule 38 transfers  all together.  (2)The Divisions in Hyderabad City Region, every year Rule 38 transfers are being approved to fill almost all the DR Vacancies and many candidates joining in Hyd. City Region are in young age group. (3) In accepting incoming Rule 38 transfers to Units in Hyd City Region, minimum two years  service condition is being observed and the request are  balanced between spouse category and long pending request  etc.,
Due to change of new environment and projects of IT like CBS etc., it is felt that the issue may be reexamination in the ensuing RJCM meeting to be held on 6.8.2014. 
Decision:       The issue was discussed and decided that a committee can be formed to look into this aspect headed by PMG, Visakhapatnam and members as PMG, Vijayawada Region; PMG, Hyderabad Region; Sri D A S V Prasad, Circle Secretary, AIPEU Gr-C; Sri V Sivaji, Circle Secretary, NAPE Gr-C; Sri M Nageswara Rao, Regional Representative, AIPEU GR-C: Anakapalli Division.
      Staff Section of Circle Office will initiate action on this immediately.    
Item No. 2-08/2014: 
              As per the CO instructions vide letter ST/Postman/Misc/2012 dated 23.8.212, a minimum service of  10 years is  stipulated as eligibility for posting to the grade of Mail overseer/Sorting Postman/Head Postman and cash Overseer.  It is also mentioned by the Directorate in letter No. 44/17/76/SPB I dated 7.2.1977 that there is no relaxation of minimum service for any category.
             The Postmen who are having 10 years and above service are unwilling to work as Mail overseer.  If the condition of minimum service is not waived, the posts of Mail overseer will have to be kept vacant.  Due to non filling up of the posts of Mail overseers    difficulties are being faced   in respect of

(2)   Verification of High value withdrawals is pending which is resulting in frauds in BOs.
(3)   BO visits could not be operated.

Item No. 3-08/2014: 
This is regarding filling up of Supervisory posts other than selection grade in HOs/A/B/C Class SOs.
As per Rule.223 of Volume-IV, ordinarily sub office in Class-I should be incharge of officials who have passed the efficiency bar. Those in Class-II should be incharge of officials who have not less than six years service. In special cases, however, this rule may be departed from in view of the local circumstances and monetary responsibilities of an office. In such cases it should be ensured that generally senior fit officials alone are placed in charge of sub offices. A satisfactory record of service shall be an essential condition for appointment of Sub Postmaster.
Consequent after introduction of MACP, no specific guidelines / service conditions for posting of officials in B & C Class offices are received.
At present, the posts of B & C Class offices are filled as per the option given by the officials. If no official volunteers for the post, junior most officials with good record of service are being posted by the Divisional Heads. If no official volunteers for C class office, they are being managed on deputation basis & in respect of B class offices; the PA is looking after the duties of SPM.
In view of the above, it is suggested that a decision may be taken for filling up supervisory posts other than selection grade with MACP-III / MACP-II officials, for smooth functioning of the B & C class offices.
If such a decision is taken, a condition in the RT Notification is to be included to the effect that MACP-III / MACP-II officials will be posted in supervisory posts other than selection grade in HOs/A/B/C Class offices. MACP-III/MACP-II official has to give choice of place accordingly from the notified posts.

Decision:                  The issue was discussed and decided that a committee can be formed to look into this aspect headed by PMG, Visakhapatnam and members as PMG, Vijayawada Region; PMG, Hyderabad Region; Sri D A S V Prasad, Circle Secretary, AIPEU Gr-C; NAPE Gr-C; Sri V Sivaji, Circle Secretary, NAPE Gr-C; Sri M Nageswara Rao, Regional Representative, AIPEU Gr-C Anakapalli Division.

Item No. 1-01/2014:Up gradation of Podili Norm Based LSG SO to HO by down grading Kanigiri. HO:  
              Kanigiri town is situated at 90 km from divisional head quarter i.e. from Ongole. And 30 km away from state highway connecting Ongole and Kurnool. It is popularly known as fluoride affected area. It will take 3 hours to travel from Ongole to Kanigiri and it will be a problem to get bus facility back to Ongole or other popular villages after 07.00 PM. For medical / educational facility staff has to depend upon Ongole.   Due to this staff are un willing to work at Kanigiri.HO. Because of this   work at Kanigiri HO is lagging beyond repair. Posting of a regular Postmaster, Accountant even a sub divisional head become a problem. Even posting adequate PA cadre officials is also a problem. Areas like accounts, SB (NREGS), SBCO are most affected.  This can be avoided by at least relocating the HO to nearby place like Podili which is comfortably placed at 50 km from Ongole and is on state high way. Staff can stay there keeping themselves at an hour distance from Ongole where they can depend for better medical & educational facilities. This will reduce the staff transfer problems and requisite staff can be posted for bringing the HO administration into main stream. 
                Connectivity is also most convenient in case of Podili compared to Kanigiri. Table of comparative distances is given below along with attached map. Podili is centrally located for 10 Sos out of 18 Sos under Kanigiri.
