· Not long ago
an SEA from Delhi was asked to go on tour, as a back up for the inauguration
of News-on-Phone service. Though the set-up was complete and working to
the satisfaction. But just a day before the inauguration he was called
by the higher ups, and told to proceed on tour so that there are no hiccups
during the inauguration. But to be very polite, the manner in which this
was told was very disgusting. The boss told him to go in an un-reserved
class, as getting reservation would be difficult. Even other officials
were very surprised when this was told to them. Everybody suggested that
he should have been asked to fly rather than going by train in this manner,
considering the nature of assignment. Anyhow better sense prevailed, and
he finally went by 1st AC, only to find next morning at the destination,
senior officers had just flown in from the Directorate. To top it all,
one of the officer who was flown there was missing during the entire show.
· Talking more of this, we all know of the so-called re-deployment, where in only the subordinate cadre is the central character. Now let us see some statistics of the IB(E)S cadre. In Delhi, all of 13 posts of CEs are filled. In EZ there is no CE for the last several months. In SZ there is just one CE out of 3 (2 posts are lying vacant for the last 18 months) and in WZ again there is only one CE and the other 2 posts are vacant for the last 4 months. Why EZ is without a CE, and SZ and WZ without 2 of them ? How about re-deployment of the CEs ? Don't these zones require any of them or nobody is ready to move to these zones ? And when these zones are doing fine without them, why to crib for more, just go ahead and redeploy them as is being done in our case. Different rules for different people? · After the election results ARTEE desired
that Sh. Anilkumar S. (Gen.Sec.) be posted in DDK Delhi, in order to
bring him near to the HQ. The request was sent to the Directorate. After
sometime, an order came out in which Sh Anilkumar S. was transferred
to the O/O CE (R&D) New Delhi. We had absolutely no problem with
that, but on enquiring about this decision we were told by the AIR Directorate
that as per our request he has been brought to Delhi. Surprisingly,
we found that the attitude was rather confrontationist. We tried to
explore the matter little more and realized that the actual reason is
something else, 'both AIR and DD directorates don't seem to be in best
of terms'. But our contention is, why are we made to suffer because
of the tussle between the top. So, it was against this backdrop that
a sit-in dharna was organized outside the office of E-in-C, AIR. Of
course Anil Kumar's case was just an excuse and not the issue. We put
up a good show and I suppose the message is well received. |
