Respected Sir,
On behalf of 2.76 lakhs
Gramin Dak Sevaks in the Department of Posts, we submit the memorandum for your
kind consideration and favourable action.
The Government of
India constituted One Man Committee under the Chairmanship of Sri. Kamalesh
Chandra, Retired Postal Board Member to examine the wage structure and service
conditions of Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) in November, 2015.
The Committee
submitted a report to the Department of Posts in November 2016.
The Union Cabinet
has approved the report on 06.06.2018. The major recommendations of the
committee were overlooked and neglected by Union Cabinet and the Department of
Posts. The committee has been wrongfully manipulated and amended. This
manipulation and unjustified amendment of the report of the committee has been
given the serious detriment of the GDS employees and has put them to a cumulative loss of lakhs of rupees.
You are humbly
requested to take up these issues in the parliament by using your good offices.
We are submitting
the following for your ready reference.
