        Before discussing the items, PMG pointed out that there are items for which replies have already given and some items have already been taken up at RJCM level which is a higher forum and PMG alone cannot take a view.  Four of the Union Members present in the meeting today are also Members of RJCM representing staff side.
Thereafter the items mentioned in the Memorandum submitted by the A.P.Postal Circle Co-ordination Committee (NFPE) were discussed and decisions arrived at are as below:-                            
Item No.1.              SHORTAGE OF STAFF: - There is shortage of staff in Regional Office. Hyderabad whenever retirement/promotions/Deaths and resignation, the posts are not filed up and attached to another branches, thereby the work load on the staff is heavy and unmanageable. Rests of the branches are run by the staff brought on deputation. Hence all the vacant posts are to be filled up by regular staff.
Reply: -                 PMG informed that out of the staff strength of 29 posts in R.O. Hyderabad, only 17 regular OAs  are available. Circle Office has already been requested vide RO letter No. PMG (H)/ ST/ Deptn/ 2008 dated 14.5.2013 to allot regular O.As. Allotment of regular O.As by Circle Office is awaited. Unions have requested to post the PAs (CO) in regular branches like Legal cell, staff etc., instead of posting them in technology branch stating that they will know the work of the Regional Office. It was informed that this will be looked into and action will be taken to the extent possible.
ItemNo.2:               DECENTRALIZATION OF WORK LOAD:- Due to non filling of vacant post and merger of posts, the work load in all branches, particularly in Union/welfare,  mails, establishment branches is heavy
Reply: -                 The establishment review of Regional Office is in progress. The re-distribution of work will be looked into as soon as the review is completed. The vacancies caused due to retirements/ transfers / promotions etc., are being managed by bringing officials on deputation to RO. Union requested to issue the Memo of Distribution of work of the RO duly distributing the work judiciously to the OAs. PMG agreed to review the Memorandum of Distribution of work and it will be completed before the next bi-monthly meeting.

Establishment. The posted in the above sections may be posted in staff/establishment/stock sections.ReplySameas reply in item No. (1) 
ItemNo.4.     RULE-9 and DISCIPLINARY CASES     :-
Charge sheets were given even after four years. Suspensions are resorted even in the contributory negligence and officials about to retire were placed under suspension and Rule-9 cases are added. In case of Karimnagar HO though loss is recouped the officials on the verge of retirement are suspended who are identified as subsidiary offenders. The case is the same in Mahabubnagar, Adilabad and Sangareddy etc., in Wanaparthy Division Sri.E.Venkataramulu was placed under suspension for years together without issued of charge sheets in violation of CCS(CCA) Rules. Subsistence allowances were not reviewed. The main offenders are enjoining the privileges at the cost of subsidiary offenders. The entire system of investigation collapsed. The retired officials were continuing g without pensionary benefits. Karimnagar, in Adilabad Division, two postmasters had given Rule-14 at verge of superannuation retirements which is converted into Rule-9. They are suffering since three years they are suffering.
Reply:          PMG informed that all the cases of frauds and losses in Hyderabad Region are being investigated and all consequential actions are being taken.  In some cases, investigations consume lot of time due to complexity of Modus Operandi and magnitude of the frauds.  There is heavy shortage of inspectorial staff leading to delay in past work verification as per the established procedures of the Department.  But, there is no case of deliberate issue of charge sheets to the delinquent officials on the verge of retirement.  PMG informed the Union that all the disciplinary cases are handled as per statutory provisions and no interference is done at any level except as per provisions of rules. 
However the disciplinary cases are being monitored continuously from R.O level and every effort is being made to avoid delays in finalising the cases. 
ItemNo.5.     IRREGULAR TRANSFERS/DEPUTATION:-
So many transfers were issued irregularly by the Divisional Heads of Sangareddy, Medak, Nalgonda and Adilabad in violation of DG Guidelines. The representation of the individuals and unions pointing out the irregularities were dealt casually. The victimized officials were forgoing months together leave. There is no control of RO on the divisional superintendents and they are enjoining monopoly. The climax of a wonderful deputation was the case of Raghavendra Goud, Accountant, Mahabubnagar HO.
Reply: -        PMG informed that RO has already examined these transfer/ deputation cases pointed out by the union and in some cases, the orders of the Divisional Heads have been modified keeping a balances between individual interest and administrative exigencies.
