Dear
Sir,
The
last meeting of the National Council (46th) was held on 15.5.2010. It is now
more than 38 months that the Council met. As per the provisions of the
Constitution of the National Council it ought to have been convened
once in four months. The non-convening of the meeting has resulted in
inordinate delay even in addressing the demands / issues / problems of the
employees giving rise to discontent, frustration, anger and agitation.
We
had send a few items for the inclusion in the agenda of the National Council vide our letter No. NC-JCM-2010/47th N.C. Meeting
dated 17.1.2012. The passage of time without any meeting has resulted in
certain issues gaining importance and the settlement of which cannot brook any
delay.
We
send herewith 12 such items for inclusion in the agenda as per the discussion with JS (E), some of the Staff Side members had a few days
back.
This
apart, the National Anomaly Committee which was set up in the wake of
acceptance of 6th CPC recommendations is yet to conclude its business. There
are issues in the agenda of National Anomaly Committee, which was not subjected
to discussion even once. The MACP related matters have not also been brought
back to the NAC to reach its logical conclusions.
We
request you to kindly convene the National Council meeting, meeting of NAC on a
date mutually convenient prefaralaly in the months of August itself.
