Sub: Amendment to Railway Board Transformation Cell’s letter No.2017/Trans/ 01/Policy dated 16.11.2017 on Process Reforms- improving Delivery and Performance with regard to registration of vigilance cases.

Ref: Railway Board Transformation Cell letter no 2017/Trans/01/Policy dated 16.11.2017

Subsequent to the issue of guidelines vide letter under reference, it has been decided that para 1, “Guidelines to be followed for registration of a vigilance case” may be modified to read as under:

1. Guidelines to be followed for registration of a vigilance case :

1.1 While investigating a case arising out of a complaint or preventive check, it is necessary for vigilance officials to establish that the matter has a Vigilance Angle before registration of a case against an officer. In order to have a comprehensive picture of the entire case, it is thus important that the views of the PHOD on Vigilance Angle are also taken before the case is registered against an officer. Therefore the following procedure may be followed:

a) SDGM/CVO may first examine the ease/complaint from the standpoint of Vigilance Angle and, in case no Vigilance angle is prima-facie found, the case may be sent to PHOD concerned for taking appropriate action as per the disciplinary procedure under the service roles on the administrative omission/lapses which may have been identified in the Preliminary Investigation Report of Vigilance However, cases referred by CVC, PMO, RB etc, for investigation and submission of Report, are required, to be submitted to Railway Board Vigilance for further necessary action/advice duly incorporating the views of the PHOD(s).

b) In case SDGM/CVO arrives at an opinion that the case involves Vigilance Angle the matter should be referred to the PHOD(s) concerned for his/their reasoned views on the existence of a vigilance angle or otherwise before a final decision on registration of a case is taken. The PHOD may, if required, consult DRM/CWM etc. However, in the interest of ensuring that the vigilance investigation is not delayed and processed as expeditiously as possible, it is important that the PHOD(s) concerned give his/their views within a period of 14 days. If this is not done, the case may be withdrawn from PHOD(s) and processed further without the views of the PHOD(s), it is also important that the PHOD(s) concerned maintain, the requisite confidentiality in the matter so that the reputation of the officer, identity of complainant and critical issues requiring investigation are not adversely affected or compromised.

c) In case of a disagreement between PHOD and SDGM/CVO, the matter should be put up to the General Manager for his views. in case of difference of opinion between SDGM/CVO and the General Manager, the case should be referred to PED/Vigilance i-e. the CVO of the Ministry of Railways for taking a final view on the matter in terms of the provisions of the IR Vigilance Manual and extant CVC guidelines.

d) In the case of non-gazetted officials, SDGM may consult PHOD concerned before taking a final view on registration of a case.

e) The PHOD/DA while giving his reasoned views may also consider, among other things, the following:

i. Law of ordinary prudence be kept in mind for the evaluation of a case, and instructions which are not available in codes/manuals, or not readily available on websites, need not be the sole criteria for ascertaining the vigilance angle.

ii. Whether a pattern has emerged on the basis of which an inference that an officer was actuated by extraneous consideration can be drawn.

iii. Whether there has emerged from record, one or more circumstances which indicate that the decision which formed the basis of the charge of misconduct was not an honest exercise or the executive discretion and delegation of power.

iv. The charge of misconduct against an executive must be distinguished from a purely erroneous decision whether on law, policy or fact.

v. Try to differentiate between a malafide and a genuine lapse/mistake and also keep in mind the practical aspect of an event/working.

This is issued with the approval of the Chairman Railway Board. Kindly acknowledge the receipt and ensure compliance.

Central Trade Unions decides to observe All India Protest Day on 15th March 2018

Central Trade Unions decides to observe All India Protest Day on 15th March 2018

The meeting of the Central Trade Unions held on 22nd February 2018 at INTUC Office New Delhi expressed indignation and strongly condemned the Government of the day for their intensified attack on the lives and livelihood of the people and seriously compromising the national interest.

Attack on working class centering around dismantling labour laws designed to completely casualise employment conditions through various routes like amending Contract Labour Act, introducing Fixed Term Employment etc has assumed aggressive height. Further it is noted that the Government is out to erase the public sector from the industrial map of the country. Specific cases of attack on privatization of railways, opening coal mining to private and foreign companies without any restriction whatsoever, mass scale privatization as well as destruction of defence production network through widespread outsourcing, thereby dismantling the almost half of the ordinance factories are some of the examples of the gross anti-people and anti-national actions of the Govt. Accumulation of huge non-performing assets of the public sector banks arising out of pilferage of bank-funds by deliberately defaulting private corporate coupled with recent explosion of frauds with bank fund engineered by the same corporate class is also a reflection of the anti-national act of the Govt indulging and patronizing the same big-business class.

The Central Trade Unions reiterated their utter condemnation against the Union Budget 2018-19 which is basically anti-worker and anti-people in character and engineered a deception on the mass of the people through loud populist slogans without actually making any resource allocation.

The Central Trade Unions denounced the Govt of India’s surreptitious move in postponing the 47th session of Indian Labour Conference, thereby reducing tripartism to a mockery.

CTUOs noted with satisfaction the surging struggles by the working people in different sectors throughout the country, both organised and unorganized.

The workers and federations of coal and transport have been preparing for united industrywide actions to be undertaken shortly. All the Federations of Defence Production workers have jointly decided to go in for nationwide strike on 15th March 2018. Many more sectoral actions are in the offing.

The CTUOs while reiterating their resolve to intensify preparation for indefinite strike in the days to come, calls upon all their constituents and working people in general irrespective of affiliations to jointly observe

ALL INDIA PROTEST DAY ON 15TH MARCH 2018

· In solidarity with the striking Defence Production workers against anti-national privatization move

· Against the Anti-people Deceptive Union Budget 2018-19.

The CTUOs will meet shortly after 15th March 2018 to decide their next course of united countrywide action.

A delegation of AGMUT Cadre I.A.S Association, Delhi Administrative Subordinate Services (DASS), DANICS officers’ association, Delhi Jal Board, Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), engineers and Delhi Government Employees Welfare Association met the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh here today. The delegation was led by Ms Manisha Saxena, Secretary, AGMUT Cadre I.A.S. Association.

During the meeting, the delegation expressed deep anguish over the incident of alleged assault and misbehaviour with Shri Anshu Prakash, Chief Secretary, Delhi Government on February 20, 2018. The resolutions passed by IAS associations of all States/UTs and other services such as IPS, IRS, IFoS and various officers/employees associations of Government of NCT of Delhi were also presented to the Minister.

During the meeting, the delegation submitted that they strongly condemn the assault on any Government officer by anybody during execution of their duties. Any incident of physical or verbal assault of an officer compromises their physical safety and demotivates them and their functioning which requires a dignified environment, representatives of the delegation said. The delegation also mentioned about the previous such incidents when the officers were assaulted in past. This affects the morale of the officers and they are forced to take voluntary retirement or seek transfer due to such behaviour, they said. The delegation demanded that there should be clear guidelines while functioning in the administration.

In response, Dr Jitendra Singh said that it is the duty of the Government to provide a safe and dignified working environment to all the officers so that these officers can work to the best of their ability without fear. He said that it is the responsibility of DoPT to ensure that bureaucrats and officers are treated with dignity and provided a work-friendly environment. The Minister assured that the concerns expressed by the officers in their resolution will be discussed with the concerned authorities. He further said that the Secretary DoPT will meet the members of delegation and discuss how best to observe the guidelines and incorporate provision that ensure dignified and safe functioning environment to the officers.

MEMORANDUM

To

Sri. AMIT SHAH JEE,
Hon’ble President,
Bharatiya Janatha Party,
New Delhi-110001

Dated: 20.02.2018

Respected Sir,

Most respectfully we are submitting herewith memorandum on behalf of two lakhs sixty three thousand Gramin Dak Sevaks in the Department of posts for your kind perusal.

The department of posts is the only department of the Government of India where there is a special category of employees working called Gramin Dak Sevaks. In fact of the Gramin Dak Sevaks are the backbone of the postal department. The postal functions rendered at the nook and corner villages of the country covering 75% of population by the Gramin Dak Sevaks are of high order and quality. Almost every postal service i.e. Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employees Guaranty scheme (MGNREGS), Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI), old age pensions, Sukanya Samruddi Accounts(Yojana) and payment Bank is provided in one or other way at the branch post offices manned by the Gramin Dak Sevaks.

The Government of India has set up one man committee under the Chairmanship of Sri Kamalesh Chandra, retired Postal Board member to examine the conditions of service and emoluments and other facilities of the Gramin Dak Sevaks.

The Committee submitted its report to the Secretary, Department of posts on 24, November 2016. Now the report is under the consideration of the Finance Ministry. It needs Cabinet approval.

We are humbly requesting the Hon’ble Prime Ministers intervention for REGULARISATION OF GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS, extending all benefits including pension with due approval from Central Cabinet at the earliest.

The top level officers are the hurdle in the way of GDS for REGULARISATION for the last 70 years of India’s independence and hence we request your kind honour to consider their hard work, sincerity and contribution to the Department/Govt in the changed circumstances i.e. when BJP is in power under the dynamic leadership of Shri.Modi jee.

Hoping immediate action at your end as inordinate delay is noticed in this regard and the employees are frustrated about the negligence towards this section.

With high regards,

Yours faithfully
S.S. Mahadevaiah
General Secretary
