Dear Comrades,

One should be aware of the fact that the closure of a Branch Post Office is not with the mere decision of the Divisional authorities and there are strict guidelines to be followed the action on the subject.

--a public notification should be issued before closure or relocated,
--one month notice to be issued to the users of the PO for any objections/alternatives,
-- there should be a simultaneous relocation of every closed Post Office...
-- a PO proposed to be closed/relocated it should achieve required income norms with      in a period of 3 months for reconsideration.

The recent  3 days strike by Postal JCA in Kerala Circle on various issues including the closure of  BOs, where there was no observation of such guidelines by the Divisional Administration caused reconsideration and reopening of the two BOs.

The following are the orders issued by the o/o CPMG, Kerala….
