In SBP,WAT,KUR, CRW/MCS a number of departments have not yet initiate the same. ECoRSU, urges upon to advise them with target date for implementation of the same without further delay.


MCS/WorkshopAs the required number of vacant posts were not available in the respective categories of Mechanical & Electrical Deptts. as on 01.11.2013, CPO was requested to provide money value from Hd.Qrs. staff bank to implement the cadre restructuring of CRW/MCS vide this office letter No. CRW/MCS/Cadre Restructuring/278 dtd 19.02.2014. But this was not agreed to.

Since Mancheswar Workshop has been advised to give increased out-turn of 120 POH coach per month by Railway Board, it is not possible to surrender 79 posts (JE-03+Tech.Gr.III-76) of Mech.Deptt and 14 posts of Tech.Gr.III of Elect.Deptt. to implement the cadre restructuring.

Further in order to ensure the cadre restructuring is done without any further delay, CWM/MCS in terms of his letter No. CRW/MCS/Cadre/Restruc/Mech. & Elect/2013/2107 dtd 25.08.2014 has requested to CME/ECoR/BBS for

OPENING OF A STORES DEPOT AT SBP FOR STOCKING AND ISSUE OF VARIOUS ITEMS REQUIRED BY SBP DIVISION.

COS SBP is a division where with less manpower works are managed in sections and offices. Since the formation of this division no Stores Depot has yet been opened causing hardship to the Unit in-charges to collect the materials and to manage the works. Day by day the workload is increasing in this division due to introduction of various new assets including new Trains. Though one JA grade Stores official (Sr.DMM) with few staff have been posted at the division but there is no stocking Depots.


User departments are still drawing required items from CRW/MCS & GSD/MCS and facing a lot of difficulties.

In our zone, KUR division is having 3 Depots at CRW/MCS, GSD/MCS, ELS/ANGL & WAT division is having three Depots i.e. ELS/WAT,DLS/WAT & WSD/WAT.

In SBP division, there is justification to open two Depots i.e. one at SBP & other at TIG for smooth running of the sections for which vacant space for stocking Godown can be easily arranged by the administration from the existing available accommodations.

Further, Before trifurcation books, forms stationeries for day to day work was being supplied through QT van and FSW from KGP of erstwhile SE railway. After trifurcation the system is completely stopped. As a result staffs are facing enormous troubles to pull on their day to day works particularly in commercial and operating department for want of prescribed books and forms and stationeries. ECoRSU urges to stream line the supply system by decentralizing the existing procedure so that the said items can be easily drawn by the Departments/users at divisions.

ECoRSU, therefore, urges upon to please process for opening of two Depots in SBP division for stocking and issue of various materials including Stationery items for the division.


The opening of Depot is critical and major financial decision. This requires a detailed study for requirement and feasibility. Sr. DMM/SBP shall be asked to carry out detailed study in this regard and submit report in 3 months. Recently 33 items of Non money value books & forms have been stocked at GSD/MCS to meet requirements of whole of ECoR. This will avoid piecemeal collection from Kharaghpur press in about next three months. It has also been decided to stock money value books and forms in GSD/MCS. As soon as stocking proposals are received, further action shall be taken. DECISIONDiscussed and closed.

Since there is no proper ventilation heat is accumulated in the rooms, causing unrest and disturbance to avail rest. And also the weather condition ar PSA same throughout the year and the temperature always reaches 40 degrees.

Hence this union requests the administration to fill the vacancies of loco pilot/S without further delay and also to fill up the LP(S) vacancies over KUR Division also.


Minimum required working posts of Shunters will be filled up.

EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITY OF ALLOTING UTS/PRS ID VALID FOR ANY STATION IN THE DIVISION INSTEAD OF A PARTICULAR STATION OVER E.CO.RAILWAY.

CCM It has come to the notice of this union that staff deputed to work in causalities are being made to work with ID of another staff who is not on duty since ID’s are being allotted for every station separately. In case of any untoward occurrences the staff who is not on duty and whose ID is being used will be put to lot of trouble as all the transactions will be recorded in the system against his/her ID. In the light of the above this union requests the Administration to explore the possibility of allotting an ID in PRS/UTS on Divisional basis instead of a particular station to avoid conflicts at a later date.


The problem raised by the organization has been taken care of. ID is allotted to a staff on station basis to safe guard the security of the transaction made by the staff at that station. To facilitate speedy allotment of ID, a CONSOLE has been set up at Zonal HQ and the CONSOLE has been entrusted with the task of allotting ID to the staff instead of sending it to Kolkotta as it was done earlier.

DECISION

The station concerned shall intimate to commercial control in the division and in turn it shall be conveyed to CONSOLE HQ through email/control order for allotment of ID for particular person.

CCMCSC

It has come to the notice of this union that though a decision has been taken in the last PNM regarding the working hours (Six) of all SRO’s / Non-Rail Head location Counters of PRS the same was not implemented in Waltair Division till date which is causing much trouble to the staff especially during 2nd shift which functions up to 22 Hrs in the night. The staffs are made to carry huge cash all the way without any RPF escort and remit the cash and hand over tickets in the station.

In the light of the above this union once again requests the Administration to implement Six hours roster ie., from 08.00 to 14.00 Hrs and 14.00 to 20.00 Hrs in all the SRO’s / Non-Rail head locations in the entire Zone and provide relief to the staff.


Six hour roster has been implemented in all SROs/Non-Rail Head location counters of PRS where cash is being deposited by staff over WAT & SBP division. Sr.DCM/KUR who sought a clarification on the list of Non-Rail Head PRS locations over the division has also been advised to implement six hour roster in all SROs/Non-Rail Head location counters of PRS where cash is being deposited by staff in a time frame and it will be done shortly.

DECISION

Necessary orders has already been passed wherever there is single shift of 8 to 15 hrs it should be 8 to 14 hrs and one hr should be given to them to cancel tickets and also cash transactions. This will be reiterated for immediate implementation.

FIXING UP OF TIMINGS FOR ISSUE OF PRS TICKETS IN ALL WAY SIDE STATIONS TO AVOID CLASH WITH ISSUE OF UTS TICKETS.

CCM It has come to the notice of this union that in most of the way side stations the timings of issue of PRS tickets are getting clashed with UTS timings leading to much inconvenience to the travelling public and also the staff are getting involved in vigilance cases as they are handling both systems simultaneously.


In the light of the above this union requests the Administration to undertake a study in all the way side stations and fix suitable timings for issue of PRS tickets to avoid inconvenience to the general public who wants to purchase UTS tickets and also to save the staff from getting involved in Vigilance cases.


As per existing principle, stations having PRS-cum-UTS facility need to dispense UTS tickets on priority during train timing. At other times staff manning the counter needs to issue PRS tickets on demand. Divisions have been given free hand to follow this principle depending on the staff availability/local conditions.

NON-IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RAILWAY BOARD INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED VIDE RBE NO.17/2012 & RBE NO. 07/2011

CPO In KUR division in spite of clear instructions issued by the Railway Board under the above cited references, the divisional administration of KUR is not followed strictly in true sprit, as an example some of the staff, who is working against sensitive post has been continuing at same place for more than two decades. Similarly the instructions issued by the Railway Board, even dtd. 07/2011 is also not followed by the divisional administration of KUR. After issue of the Railway Board orders many transfer cases of the staff were considered to re-back their former seat, but where as some staff are being deprived the said privilege, thus these disparities followed by the administration had created much unpleasantness amongst the working class. Therefore this Union urges that the instructions stipulated under the above cited references, should be implemented in true sprit over KUR divn.



RB-7-2011 is related to re-engagement of retired staff on daily remuneration basis in exigency of service. It is not related to transfer guideline. RB-17-2012 is related to periodical transfer of non-gazetted Railway employees.

As per guidelines of this circular periodical transfer is implemented in KUR Division strictly. There is no staff in sensitive category continuing at same place of work for more than 2 decades. Regarding re-back of the staff to their former seat, the genuineness is examined by the departmental executive before passing order.

The workload in the Stores HQrs. (COS’s office) & Stores Depots at DLS/VKSP, ELS/ANGUL, WSD/VSKP, CRW/MCS etc. are increasing rapidly but the staff strength are not increasing in commensurating with the work loads.

ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING OPERATIONS AT PARCEL OFFICES OVER WALTAIR DIVISION:-

CCM Right from the absorption of Licensed Porters as Trackmen in the year 2008 this Union is raising the issue of alternative arrangements for loading and unloading operations in all parcel offices over Waltair Division. The Administration is citing different reasons at different times for the same issue and passing the time without any solution to the problem. This union is of the opinion that Administration is taking the matter in a serious manner due to which the train attending staff are undergoing traumatic experiences. This union fails to understand as to how this problem has been solved in rest of the divisions in the same Zone and why not in Waltair Division. During the Zonal PNM held on 13th & 14th of October 2009 the Administration has informed that the Division has been advised to recoup the Licensed Porters to the extent of requirement, but this was not done. During the Divisional PNM held on 18th & 19th of February 2010 it was informed that Rationalization of Group-D staff considering the loading and unloading points at different parcel offices will be done shortly as soon as the staff from departmentally operated cycle stands are withdrawn, this was also not implemented.

Vexed with the lackadaisical attitude of the Administration Minutes _31st (3rd in 2014) ZPNM 25th September & 07th October, 2014 _ECoRSU of 35

this union has requested to explore the possibility of providing Battery operated Trolleys for swift movement of packages in absence of adequate workforce for loading and unloading operations, but this was also not done. Again the matter has been raised in the Zonal PNM meeting held in Bhubaneswar on 9th & 10th of February 2012 the Administration has informed that the case of Waltair Division is different from that of other two Divisions because the earlier Licensed porters who were being used as parcel porters has got a stay order from Hon’ble High Court and on the basis of the order they are being used on alternative days and payment is being made to them and also stated that commercial porters will be nominated for parcel handling activities as soon as they are withdrawn from departmentally run cycle stands, but this was also not done.

During the Divisional PNM meeting held on 23rd & 24th of August 2012 the Administration has informed that the matter is sub-judice due to the court case No. WP 13809/02 filed by the Licensed Porters challenging the Railway Board order not to engage Licensed Porters for parcel activities.

Lastly when the matter was raised during the PNM meeting held in Visakhapatnam on 22nd & 23rd of November 2012 the Divisional Administration has informed that all Group-D vacancies will be filled up either through RRC or Compassionate Grounds appointees but this was also not done till date and there was no relief from the chronic problem.

In the light of the above this union once again request the Administration to take up the matter seriously and put an end to this long pending problem on war footing basis.

LAST MINUTES In all stations, Station Manager has outsourced the job except WAT where it is understood that there is prohibitory order from Court for outsourcing. This order was issued on behalf of existing license porters, whose number is very meager. The changed development and inability of existing license porters to handle the job should be brought to the notice of the Court by way of a misc petition and this stay is to be vacated for outsourcing the work.

PCECMD

Throughout the zone all the Railway employees and their family members are suffering a lot for non provision of any arrangement for sanitation of way side station railway colonies. Neither the engineering deptt. nor the Medical department is caring those colonies on the plea that there is no provision in their respective Manuals. The employees and their family members are living pathetically in unhygienic condition in way side stations without any sanitation arrangements. This issue was brought umpteen times at all the sub-division & divisional levels but in vain. Hence this organization urges to make a suitable policy for the sanitation of way side railway colonies throughout the zone.

LAST MINUTES

Instructions as exists in form of different JPOs/Local orders will be reiterated on this issue of colony cleanliness and sanitation at way-side stations. As requested by ECoRSU, a /de-sludging/cleanliness drive should be undertaken specifically for K-K & K-R Lines, Barang and Radhakishorepur section, utilizing the imprest available with the SMR/Station Master in coordination with S.E.(Works) and H.I. of the Section.

Further, in spite of instructions arrived in Joint meeting held at Board level with federation that the surrendered higher grade post are to be re-back to the former units for filling, in spite of the instructions the implementation in Elect (G) department of KUR division is being delayed, which causes much discontentment amongst the staff.
