Little Hope of Justice

Dear Comrades/Friends,

Today, we met with Shri S.B. Singh, the CBEC's new Member - Central Excise (ex-CC of Jaipur Zone) and submitted folder (containing all relevant documents) for ready reference appraising him about attitude of competent authorities of the Board vis-a-vis possible increase in regional disparity in promotion during implementation of Cadre Restructuring.
During farewell ceremony of the Hon’ble Member of CBEC, the Commissioner of CE –Jaipur-I, Comrade Sushil Pareek, General Secretary of Superintendents' Association and Abhay Singh, General Secretary of Inspectors’ Association have drawn his kind attention to safeguard the common interest of our stagnated & discriminated Cadre.

Shri Singh - the Member in his blessing speech acknowledged the tireless efforts of our Association and assured to do his best possible efforts also at the Board level for justice with our Cadre. He also advised the Commissioner, Jaipur-I for Delhi visit and to appraise him about present status of the justified demands of the Association and the same  has been noted by the Commissioner for immediate compliance.
This Association shall ever be grateful for such a great response of the Member & Commissioner and hope for some improvement in the present adverse situation.

Thus, we have a little hope of justice as the present proposals/decisions of Committees for implementation of the CR are yet to be examined & approved by the full Board meeting. We are also planning to adopt some other effective steps in remaining short period for betterment of the Cadre.
Note: - The date of earlier proposed emergency General Body meeting will be informed by Comrade Abhay Singh, General Secretary.

Yours Comradely,
BL Meena                                                                         
PRESIDENT                                                               

Board's step to increase regional disparity

Dear Comrades,

It has been learnt from reliable sources that the Board has approved relaxation in qualifying service from 8 to 2 years for promotion of Inspectors for undue promotional benefits in some CE Zones and amended Recruitment Rules appears to be issued by the DOPT accordingly.
 
This step of the Board without removing existing acute regional disparity will ultimately increase the regional disparity in our Cadre. If so happened, Inspectors having 20 years service will not be promoted during implementation of ongoing Cadre Restructuring whereas Inspectors of only 2 years service will be promoted in some of the Zones.
 
Friends - Please discuss & circulate this news among all the colleagues and send your valuable comments on the blog, by e-mail or by phone to decide further line of action.
 
Comradely yours,
B L Meena
PRESIDENT

DELHI VISIT - Meetings with Authorities

Dear Comrades - Good morning

We have visited Delhi on 5.3.2014 and any how managed appointment from the top brass authorities of the CBEC for official meeting despite of their busy schedule of DPC (at Mumbai) & Cadre Restructuring work. During our meeting with the (1) Chairperson, (2) Member (P&V), (3) Member (Zonal Incharge of Jaipur Zone), (4) new Member Shri S.B. Singh, (5) DG (HRD) and, (6) DG, DRI (the Chairperson of Committee of Operation Issues for implementation of CR) we lodged our protest alongwith reasoned submissions against reduction of CE Commissionerates from 4 to 3 too without consultation/knowledge of the jurisdictional Chief Commissioner of CE (Jaipur Zone). We are fond hope that the Board authorities will never forget our united voice of protection.
 
Friends - We are still committed for the all possible steps/action for justice with our stagnated & discriminated Cadre. The details of meetings & possibilities will be appraised/discussed in General Body Meeting.
 
Yours Comradely,
BL Meena                                                                          Abhay Singh

Cheating with Cadre by CBEC

Dear Comrades,

We have no hesitation to inform you that our Cadre is again being cheated by concerned authorities of CBEC despite of repeated assurances by all senior officers during all out efforts of the Association team.

1.     The rumours have been confirmed by reliable sources that the original proposed re-organised 4 CE Commissionerates for Rajasthan are being reduced to only 3 Commissionerates too with model of 70 Superintendents against earlier proposed model of 80 Superintendents. The demanded Audit Commissionerate is being sanctioned, but with model of 50 Superintendents.

2.     Our genuine & justified demands for creation of new Customs Commissionerate and separate Service Tax Commissionerates duly recommended & forwarded by the jurisdictional CC of CE (Jaipur Zone) have also stated as turned down by Ms Neerja Saha – DG (HRD) and Shri Najib Saha, the (DG DRI) & Chairman of Committee of Operational Issues for Cadre Restructuring.

3.     It has also learnt that our submissions regarding rapidly spreading workload of Service Tax and of increased Customs formations like LCS Munabao, International Airports etc have also been ignored that is why that not even a single additional post being sanctioned on this account.

4.     Moreover our basic demand of all India seniority in compliance of judgment of the Supreme Court is also not being implemented during implementation of ongoing CR.

Friends – The Association team doing all out efforts to remove the regional disparity in promotional avenues and assurances for justice were also given by senior officers from the Chairperson to Commissioners, but now we are felling that our Cadre is again being cheated by the IRS lobby. Now it is crystal clear that this CR is too by IRS & for IRS.

In view of above, possible new sanctioned strength of Superintendents in Rajasthan will be 340 (70x3+80+50) and the resultant vacancies/promotions will be only 62 (340-278) approximately.
Comrades – Though, the Association team is visiting authorities of CBEC on 5th to 7th March, 2014, but we are of opinion that now we have no option except to adopt path of AGITATION + LEGAL ACTION FOR THE JUSTICE. Please be prepared and united for next step as an emergency General Body meeting will be organized after Delhi visit.

Please remember that our unity is the need of the hour and ABHI NAHI TO KABHI NAHI……

Yours Comradely,

BL Meena                                                                          Abhay Singh
