Sub;- Irregular, arbitrary appointment and high handed and terrorising functioning of the G.D.S. Committee, constituted under Sri, R.S. Nataraja Murthi; Ex-Member, Postal Services Board.
Respected Sir,
A kind reference is invited to our letter of even No. dated 26-07-07 on irregular and arbitary appointment of G.D.S. Committee under a retired bureaucrat. In that letter we had vehemently protested against the appointment of the Committee under a retired bureaucrat. We had openly voiced our apprehension that the bureaucrats have an inherent bias against the Gramin Dak Sevaks and they do not deserve sit on judgement to decide the fate of these employees. Even four days have not clasped that our apprehensions are proving to be solidly right.
Sri. Nataraja Murthi, who probably took over charge of the Committee an the very day of appointment. (We donot know how it happened and what was looking behind the appointment and his immediate taking over charge). We have received several complaints that the said Sri.Nataraja Murthi who had previously worked as chief Post Master General in Andhra Pradesh Circle also, utilising his clout and previous influence an officers in obtaining memorandum under threat and duress from GDS employees and our Branch Unions in Andhra. This is not only unfair, illegal and liable to be condemned but is also against the norms set by previous commissions and committees in inviting memoranda and also below the dignity of a person who claims to sit on a judicial Chair ton the GDS issues and to give just recommendations.
This harassing and terrorising action of Sri. Nataraja Murthi has created great resentment and fury among our members and Branch Unions and is likely to stir the tranquillity prevailing in the Department.
Certainly, we are fighting constitutionally and peacefully against the appointment of this Committee and for appointment of Commission/Committee under retired judge of a High Court. And we did not expect such a terror-tactics of the hands of the so called Chairman of this illegally appointed committee. We are peace loving employees but we are committed to fight out any terror tactics and harassing action.
We, therefore, very humbly appeal to your honour to take necessary steps that Sri.Nataraja Murthi desists from resorting to Terror threatening and harassment. Arbitrarily as this Committee is appointed, the said Nataraja Murthi is resorting to illegal and unlawful actions. This needs to be immediately halted.
With profound regards,
Yours faithfully,
S.S.Mahadevaiah,
General Secretary.
Copy forwarded to: Sri. I.M.G.Khan, Secretary, Department of Posts, for information and necessary action with humble request to restrain and rein the said Sri.Nataraja Murthi.
