AS SUCH WE

REGARDING MINIMUM

EVEN THESE ORDERS ARE NOT CIRCULATED TO LOWER LEVEL AND IN SOME CIRCLES IT WAS MISINTERPRETED AS

8. NON ISSUING OF
APPOINTMENT ORDERS.
IT WAS ACCEPTED
THAT CASUAL LABOURERS ARE BEING ENGAGED INSPITE OF ORDERS FROM DIRECTORATE
WHICH IS NOT PERMISSIBLE,AS SUCH ISSUING OF APPOINTMENT ORDER DOES NOT ARISE.
IT IS A
FACT THAT THEY ARE BEING ENGAGED CONTINUOUSLY WHICH WAS ACCEPTED BY
DIRECTORATE. BUT THE POOR WORKERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
AS SUCH
THIS MAY BE RELAXED AS ONE TIME MEASURE AND BY FIXING CUTOFF DATE APPOINTMENT
ORDERS MAY BE ISSUED TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE ENGAGED UPTO THAT DATE.
In conclusion,
as per the reply given by the DEPARTMENT, it is very clear that the orders
issued by the Directorate are not being taken seriously by the lower level
authorities and even they are not even circulated to lower level in many
occasions. We feel that this is the most lethargic attitude of lower level
authorities and implementing according to their whims and fancies, even without
caring Directorate orders. This is resulting in ignorance of lowest paid
workers in the Department and they are the worst affected workers, who are
attending to their duties perfectly with utmost dedication than any other cadre
in the Department and even the primary slogan of the present Government is
" swatch bharat" which is being implemented by other than these
workers.
As such we request
the SECRETARY to look into the issues and settle their problems permanently, so
that they will feel happy and never forget the action of the SECRETARY.
We hope that early positive
action will be taken by the SECRETARY personally.
A line in reply will
be appreciated.
Thanking you,
yours faithfully,
[P. MOHAN]
GENERAL SECRETARY.
