Resolutions on Problems
The 6th All India conference in session at the historic place Amritsar, Punjab Circle from 21th to 23th March, 2010 discussed at length various burning issues concerning GDS and therefore urged unanimously for immediate settlement/improvement. The following demands require urgent attention and immediate settlement:-
Grant of full trade union facilities to AIPEDEU
The provision of trade union facilities is a genuine and long pending demand. At present very limited trade union facilities are available to the chief executives of AIPEDEU. Some effective mechanism should be provided to the chief executives to carry out the function of the union.
The CCS (RSA) rules 1993 have been issued by the department of personal & Training. The issues of EDAs (Recognition of Association) Rules 1995 were issued by the department of Posts, in department of the D.O.P. & T., In this connection it is not out of order to mention that the GDS (Conduct & Employment) Rules 2001 also have been issued by the Department of Posts. Several amendments/provisions have been carried out or added to these rules to meet the requirements of the situation by the department.
We therefore suggest and demand that full trade union rights and Privileges i.e., grant of Foreign service under the F.R. and S.R. to the Chief Executive be granted.
Your effective intervention and initiation will be of great value and for that the entire Gramin Dak Sevak will be thankful.

SPECIAL DUTY ALLOWANCE
The 6th All India conference in session at the historic place Amritsar, Punjab Circle from 21th to 23rd March, 2010 discussed at length various burning issues concerning GDS in N.E. Region unanimously resolves that the recommendations of Sixth CPC, "Department of Expenditure" issued orders in OM No. 11(5)2008-E.II(B) dated 29-08`-2008, regulating various allowances to the civilian employees posted in the States and Union Territories of North Eastern Region. The most important factor for the consideration of the Committee was the risk and dangers involved in discharging functions and duties of the Civil servants in the said regions due to the prevailing insurgency. Various facilities, concessions, and allowances were extended to the employees posted in the North East Region by virtue of the above cited order, one among them being the special duty allowance at the rate of 12.5 % of basic pay. Thereafter the Special Duty allowance was paid to the employees working in the region in the same atmosphere such risks and dengers at par with regular employees. Therefore, the same Allowance or a similar may be extended to Postal Gramin Dak Sevaks also who are working in the region.

Resolutions on Problems
The 6th All India conference in session at the historic place Amritsar, Punjab Circle from 21th to 23th March, 2010 discussed at length various burning issues concerning GDS and therefore urged unanimously for immediate settlement. The following demands require urgent attention and immediate settlement:-
Uttarakhand Allowance:- In 1966, the then communication Minister and the Director General of post and Telecom department have taken personal initiative and an amount of Rs. Forty(40/-) per year was granted considering the need for purchase of warm clothes and shoes in view of the prevailing climatic condition. The GDS working in Uttarakhand, Pitoragarh, Almora, Tehri Ghadwal and Chamoli are the places where the allowance is granted. Even after a lapse of 43 years, since 1966, the allowance is not revised and the hardship of the GDS is inexplicable. An amount equivalent to the actual price of the clothes and shoes was geanted, at that time when the consolidated allowance of ED Agents varied from Rs.25/- to Rs.35/- per month was paid. This allowance was paid in September in the case of ED Agents who worked regularly for six months from March onwards. No other type of compensatory allowance is being paid to ED Agents working in other parts of the country.
Gramin Dak Sevaks, like the whole-time departmental employees, are also subject to the vagaries of nature and are subject to similar hardships. If the whole-time employees, who continue to stay in such a place for years, are entitled to remote locality, hill compensatory, border allowance, etc. there is no reason to deny such compensatory allowance to ED Agents on the ground that they are locals. This Committee, therefore, recommends that the ED Agents should be granted the various types of compensatory allowances subject to the same conditions as are applicable to the whole-time employees. However, in that event, the Uttarakhand Allowance will have to be discontinued. In this regard we urge the administration to grant the Uttarakhand allowances at least Rs.6000/- per year which will be commensurate with the rate of present allowances.

Provision of special amenities to the Gramin Dak Sevak working in odd situations in hilly areas:- Keeping in view the geographical and climatic condition of the country, the G.D.S. are working in a pitiable condition as compare to other employees of Govt. of India and they face much difficulties on account of odd climatic and geographical condition remoteness of areas, dangerous hilly routes of traveling, snow falls, land slides etc. A brief description of hardships faced by the employees is submitted as under and the proposals for redressal of the grievances are also noted against each.
Remoteness of areas: Most of the hilly areas are not so easy of access. These areas are generally spread over in remote corners of hills and high mountains much far away from Rail or Bus heads. The employees have to travel on foot. The essential commodities are rarely available and at a very high cost. No basic facilities are available there. The Departmental employees are compensated in the form of remote locality allowance/Border area allowance/Difficult area allowance, backward area allowance. But the E.D. employees (G.D.S) are deprived from the same. A provision of such risk allowance should also be made to the Gramin Dak Sevaks.

Grant of Naxalist Threat Area Allowance: According to O.M. No. 2003/5/90-E.II (B) dated 27-01-93 of Ministry of Finance, the compensatory allowance shall be paid to Central Government employees during which he serves the tribal areas and the orders shall remain in operation up to the date of withdrawal of such allowance by the State Government. Accordingly the allowance was in operation till 31-03-2002 and the postal officials were paid with Tribal Area Allowance.
After 31-03-2002, the State Governments like Maharashtra discontinued the payment of Tribal Area Allowance to their employees working in Chandrapur and Gadchiroli districts and granted Naxalist Threat Area Allowance at the rate of 15% of the basic pay subject to a maximum of Rs. 1500/- per month.
The same allowance has not been paid to the postal officials who are working in these and inaccessible forests and facing the horrified problems as in the case of State Government employees. The same is the position in respect of Andhra Circle, Jharkhand, Orissa,Chattisgharh, W.B. Circle and Karnataka the threat is visible.

FLOOD ADVANCES; The Postal employees, especially the G.D.S. employees are spread over interior parts of the country side. Those in flood affected areas have lost everything, like other people. These Postal employees require help from the department of Posts. The states Government are trying to rush help to the affected people but these measure are proving to be too limited and too short to mitigate the misfortune. The Postal department, therefore, has to rush immediate help to its employees - help of immediate use and help for reconstruction of the property damaged by the floods.
Now the department is giving Rs.600/- for the employees affected by the flood. We urge the dept. to raise the same to Rs.10000/ {ten thousand only}. This would help them for immediate rehabilitation.

Grant of Scooter/Motor cycle advance to Gramin Dak Sevaks staff:- This union would like to bring to your kind notice that the Scooter/Motor cycle advances are not granted to the GDSs. At present only cycle advance is granted to Gramin Dak Sevaks that too on allotment of funds to the particular divisions. At present two wheeler vehicles are commonly used by every one including Gramin Dak Sevaks.
Most of the GDSs are using vehicles for covering enormous area for delivery of letters, conveyance of mails etc, In many areas without the vehicles they can not perform duty effectively. But non eligibility for grant Scooter/Motor cycle advances to the Gramin Dak Sevaks, is causing a great problem to them. Most of the staff (G.D.Ss) are not having financial resources. This is need of time to make provision for grant of Scooter/Motor cycle advance to these servants
