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.

. Appointment under relaxation of rules.
         It is learnt that process of compassionate appointments in the AP Circle for the post of Posts of PA/Postman/Mail Guard/MTS has not been completed so far, even after identifying the posts. The reason for the above, it is learnt that the authorities are insisting for the fulfillment of required educational qualification with the prescribed percentage of marks as in the recruitment rules of PA/Postman/Mail Guard/MTS.
        Though the applicants have fulfilled the parameters prescribed by the Directorate for compassionate appointments, department is insisting the applicants to opt for the lower post in the name of above 60% marks in 12th class and 10th  class. Because of this, the applicants who have the intermediate qualification are forced to take the lower cadre post of Postman/MTS instead of PA/SA.
        The spirit of compassionate appointment is essentially in relaxation of recruitment rules. Hence, insisting part 60% of marks in 12th and 10th class is against the natural justice. It is requested the chairman to relax the recruitment rules by not insisting the percentage of marks issue appointment orders to the applicants who are selected on the basis of parameters  prescribed for the appointment under relaxation of recruitment rules.

Decision:
      The DR vacancies of 2011 & 2012 were filled up based on the PA SA Recruitment Rules of 2011 notified vide Gazette Notification letter No. 37-47/2010- SPB-I dated 18.11.2011.
