Calendar Day to commemorate those Railwaymen lost their lives on duty

Calendar Day to commemorate those Railwaymen lost their lives on duty – NFIR letter to Railway BoardNFIR

No. II/28/2018

Dated : 08/11/2018

The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Calendar Day to commemorate those Railwaymen lost their lives on duty-reg.

*****

NFIR brings to the notice of Railway Board that on an average two Railwaymen/Women (approximately) get killed in the course of performing legitimate duties. Inspite of such risks, the Rail Workforce continues to perform their duties with devotion and dedication while their loyalty to the Indian Railways is unquestionable.

However, a feeling of disappointment looming large among cross section of Railway employees that required honour is not bestowed to those Railway Staff who lost their lives in the course of performing duties. In order to commemorate and pay tributes to all those Railwaymen/Women who lost their lives while performing duties it would be appropriate that a Calendar Day in a year be earmarked as a “comemorable day” to remember their role and pay tributes for their yeomen service to the IR. This would not only generate greater pride among the families of late Railwaymen/Women but also motivate the Rail Workforce to get involved for improving the efficiency levels further.

NFIR, therefore, suggests to the Railway Board to consider the above proposal and earmark a day for the purpose of commemorating those who laid down their lives for Railways. Federation is also of the view that the 2nd May of each year be considered as “Comemorable Day” for the purpose of paying tributes to the departed Railwaymen/Women who laid down their lives for the cause of Railways.

Yours faithfully,
(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)
General Secretary

All India Protest Day for 26th November, 2018 – CCS Conduct Rules 1964

All India Protest Day for 26th November, 2018 – CCS Conduct Rules 1964

MOST IMMEDIATE

No C-45018/1/2017-Vig.
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, P.G. & Pensions
Department of Personnel & Training

North Block, New Delhi,
Dated the 12th November, 2018

Subject : All India Protest Day for 26th November, 2018 – Instructions under CCS (Conduct Rules), 1964 – Regarding.

It has been brought to the notice of the Government that National Movement for Old Pension Scheme (NMOPS) has decided to observe “Gherao of Parliament House” on 26th November, 2018 in order to demand withdrawal of New Pension Scheme (NPS).

2. The instructions issued by the Department of Personnel and Training prohibit the Government servants from participating in any form of strike including mass casual leave, go slow etc. or any action that abet any form of strike/protest in violation of Rule 7 of the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964. Besides, in accordance with the proviso to Rule 17(1) of the Fundamental Rules, pay and allowances is not admissible to an employee for his absence from duty without any authority. As to the concomitant rights of an Association after it is formed, they cannot be different from the rights which can be claimed by the individual members of which the Association is composed. It follows that the right to form an Association does not include any guaranteed right to strike/protest. There is no statutory provision empowering the employees to go on strike. The Supreme Court has also agreed in several judgments that going on a strike is a grave misconduct under the Conduct Rules and that misconduct by the Government employees is required to be dealt with in accordance with law. Any employee going on strike in any form would face the consequences which, besides deduction of wages, may also include appropriate disciplinary action. Kind attention of all employees of this Department is also drawn to this Department’s O.M. No.33012/1/(s)/2008- Estt.(B) dated 12.9.2008, on the subject for strict compliance (enclosed as Annexure-A).

3. All officers are requested that the above instructions may be brought to the notice of the employees working under their control. All officers are also requested not to sanction Casual Leave or any other kind of leave to the officers and employees, if applied for, during the period of proposed protest/Gherao, and ensure that the willing employees are allowed hindrance free entry into the office premises.

4. In case employees go on protest/Gherao, all Divisional Heads are requested to forward a report indicating the number and details of employees, who are absent from duty n the day of protest/Gherao, i.e., 26.11.2018.
