Sub: Threatening and
harassment of staff by fixing unrealistic targets for canvassing IPPB accounts
and Aadhar enabled Payment System (AePS) - Request immediate intervention.
Sir,
Of late, we are
receiving numerous complaints from various circles regarding threatening and
harassment of staff by lower authorities by fixing unrealistic targets for
canvassing IPPB business and AePS . Instructions are issued to the staff to
conduct house to house visit and compel the public to open IPPB accounts and
also to avail the facility of AePS.
As you are aware, interested customers will naturally open accounts in
IPPB and also avail the facility of AePS. Employees are working with utmost
devotion to duty and providing dedicated service to the public, even though 40
to 50% of posts are lying vacant and heavy workload is thrust upon every
section of Postal employees. Over and above this, compelling and threatening
them to open number of IPPB accounts as per the quota fixed by the higher-ups
is inhuman and unacceptable. While ordering the staff for house to house
campaign and canvassing, the authorities are not even considering the threat
posed by the Covid - 19 pandemic at the ground level. They want target to be
fulfilled at any cost, even risking the life of employees. Anger and protest of
the employees are mounting day by day and it may burst out at any time.
In view of the above , we urge upon the Secretary , Posts , to intervene
immediately in favour of the employees and issue instructions to the lower
authorities to desist from the act of threatening and harassment of staff , in
the name of IPPB and AePS , failing which we will be compelled to resort to
serious agitational programmes including non-cooperation.
Once again request immediate action from your end, as if house on fire.
Awaiting positive response,
With regards,
Yours
Sincerely,
(R.N. Parashar)
Secretary General
