Latest updates

Dear Comrades,

It is our endeavor to update the blog regularly. However, due to some difficulties there was a small gap on updating on the latest events. Though belated I wish to communicate to you all regarding some of the important events took place during last couple of weeks in which this Federation was actively involved.

DGHRD’s response to this Association’s letter

I am glad to convey that the DGHRD, New Delhi in response to this Association’s letter dated 17.09.2012 has sought detailed submission in respect of the issues raised by us vide letter F.No.8/B/118/HRD(HRM)/2012/2213 dated 04.10.2012 (click here to view). Though we have already made detailed submissions to the Board separately on all the issues, we are on the job to fine tune and present an updated version to DGHRD. The submissions will be placed in the blog once finalized. I am sure some positive results will emerge after the above exercise.

Joint Action Council

Joint Action Council agitation programme was a grand success. Throughout the country the Joint Action Council has witnessed a massive support from members of all the constituent federations / associations. I congratulate our National / Zonal leaders, office-bearers and members who have actively took part in the JAC Dharna programme and made it a prominent point before the administration. Here are some of the photos taken at Chennai and Bhubaneswar JAC Dharna programme.

Last week i.e., from 05.10.2012 to 08.10.2012, the Customs Ministerial Employees Federaton convened their XVIIth convention at Chennai. Confederation leaders as well as National leaders and Zonal leaders/office bearers of Superintendents / Inspectors / Ministerial / Grp”C” employees federations/ associations under CBEC had participated and made the convention a grand success.

All India Convention of the Joint Action Council also took place at Chennai Customs office on 08.10.2012 evening and leaders of the constituent Associations/Federation of JAC met and elected Shri. AJIT K.G., Secretary General of All India Inspectors Association as the new Joint Convenor and Shri. Ashish Chakravorthy, Secretary General of Customs Grp “C” employees federation will continue as the other Joint Convenor. The JAC leaders discussed on the charter of demands placed before the CBEC and felt the need to intensify the agitation programme. Accordingly the JAC will hold a week long protest from 19th to 23rd of November, 2012. There will be lunch hour demonstration during the entire week and on 23rd of November the second part of the day will be a pen down strike.

Further, some positive news is coming out from the Board that the issues related to CAO / AO DPC will be settled at the earliest. An early settlement of the issue would fetch hundreds of promotions to DOS/AO, who are awaiting their promotions for quite a long time. We are consistently taking/ following up all the important issues of our ministerial cadre before the CBEC/Administration for an early solution.

Comradely yours
