R.N.Choudhary, President, has welcomed the participants who had come from
different places of the country to attend the 2nd Central Executive
Committee meeting of All India Central Ground Water Board Employees
Association. He elaborated the entire
scenario right from the beginning of Arbitrary, Unilateral and unlawful
transfers of employees of CGWB, Div.II, Ambala.
On 4-12-2013 the delegation consisting of representatives of Employees
Association had the disucssion with the Chairman, CGWB in length to resolve the
issues of transfers of 4 employees of Div.II, Ambala and violation of approved
Transfer Norms. In turn the Chairman
principally agreed to cancel the transfer orders of 2 employees viz., Com Rajneesh
Kumar, Branch Committee Chairman, BEC, Ambala and Com Arjun Singh, Former
Assistant Secretary General. The
transfer of Com Angrej Singh will be decided in due course. As far as Com M.C.Tiwatia is concerned, the
transfer case is under sub-judice before the Honourable CAT, Chandigarh Bench. It has therefore been decided not to discuss
on this issue. It was therefore decided in the house that the CEC and BEC,
Div.II, Amabala to bear the Court expenditure of Com M.C.Tiwatia sharing 50%
each.
The President directed Com N.Kumar, Member,
Office Council(JCM) to make a visit to JCM office at Faridabad once in a month
for organizational work. He is also
directed all the CEC/BEC leaders to stay one or more days at JCM office at
Faridabad to attend their own members/office pending work, while coming to
attend the meeting scheduled.
The
President thereafter requested the Secretary General to take up the agenda items
for debate.
Accordingly,
the Secretary General narrated the agenda and the following agenda items were
discussed and debated.
Thereafter, the Secretary General conveyed thanks to Com
Hanuman Singh Meena, Organising Secretary, Joint Council of CG Employees &
Workers, Faridabad & the General Secretary of Residents Welfare
Association, Faridabad, Com.Mahesh Pal Singh, Ex-President of Joint Council,
Com Sidhraj Singh, President CPWD, MRM Karmachari Sangatan, Faridabad and Com
K.M.Tripathi, Circle Secretary, Haryana RMS Employees, for their glorious
involvement supporting during the Dharna held at Bhujal Bhavan, Faridabad on 2nd

of approved Transfer Norms

documents. He also emphasized time
schedule of meeting should be maintained.
He

statement that no violation of transfer norms is taking place while
acknowledging the Association letters, if any found, the Association quote
specific cases. The willing employees are
not getting transfers at the same time, the forcible transfers are taking
place. Transferring the employees out,
despite vacancy in existence is violation of Transfer Norms. Not filling up the vacancies in accordance
with pending requests also violation of Transfer Norms.
Com R.K.Pandey, Vice President has expressed that Com
Dinesh Kumar Shaunak, Assistant Foreman, Div.V, Ranchi has already requested
for his transfer to Div.II, Ambala which is pending for more than 5 years. The post is vacant at Ambala. He never worked nearby his home town and

appointing authority in respect of Group-’B’ and Group-’C’ employees and
empowered in all aspects. The CGWB is
the ultimate authority and Ministry’s directions if any feasible only are to be

5. Non supply of drilling/store materials such as Tents, Pipes,
Bits, Mud etc.,
A
lengthy discussion was taken place. All
the members were expressed their views and felt that the authorities are
intentionally not making any procurement action on tents, pipes, bits, mud and
gravel etc., The CGWB is having very
efficient procurement section right from Exploratory Tubewell Organization and
CGWB is used to keep sufficient stock in their sub basecamps, but today’s
situation is entirely different, if this scenario continues, the prestigious
Engineering wing of Central Ground Water Board will shuts off soon.
All the CGWB funds are diverting to the private consultant (i.e) WAPCOS, which is also a question mark.
All the CGWB funds are diverting to the private consultant (i.e) WAPCOS, which is also a question mark.
Com
N.Somaiah, Leader, Staff side, Deptt. Council(JCM), MoWR stated that a
memorandum has given to the Honourable Minister of Water Resources in this
regard. He also pointed out that each
and every year the Annual Action Plan/Field Season Programme (target) is
reducing and authorities wants to sabotage the Engineering wing in full. At the same time the authorities are
earmarking that 2000 wells is to be drilled by private agencies for aquifer
mapping, when already the Central Ground Water Board is having sufficient
datas, then what is the need to drill
such number of wells. No basin wise study was done so far, except CGWB no
department is available to do such kind of study in the country.
The
Secretary General stated that a letter will be addressed to all General
Secretaries to explore the availability of stores such as tent, pipe, bit, mud
and gravel etc., so that the consolidated demand/statement will be submitted to
the Chairman, CGWB for initiation of centralized procurement action. Also, a
resolution was passed in the house that within short time a strike notice will
be given against poor attitude of the authorities towards drilling wing and to
save the department from winding up. An
agenda item to that effect has been submitted to the meeting of Departmental
Council(JCM), MoWR.
6. Other
points, if any
It
was proposed by Com S.S.Acharya, ASG that rotation policy of the Drivers among
CGWB, Division and Region needs to be implemented on request of the individual
if any. While implementing the provision
inter transfer of the substitute should be based on their longer stay as well
the recommendations of the Branch Secretary of AICGWBEA. He has also pointed out to fill-up the vacant
posts in Ministerial Stream & Engineering Stream on promotional method
without waiting finalization of the R/Rs in different cadre.
Com
A.Balasundaram, ASG suggested to the Secretary General to make effort to
include CGWB in 7th.Pay Commission deliberations and also suggested
to include Com. V.B.Rajagopal,
Superintendent, CGWB, KR, Trivendrum replacing Shri T.C.Mathur, as he has
become Consultant in CGWB after his retirement.
Com. Nityanand, Chief Auditor explained that the MACP & DPC in
respect of Scientific wing is done in time, whereas the similar cases of
Engineering & Ministerial Wing are not convening in time. A letter in this regard is to be prepared and
submitted to the Authorities.
Com. R.K.Pandey,
Vice-President pointed out that one Consolidated proposal of Watch & Ward
Duty for Divisional Office and Field Formations of Div.V, Ranchi was sent to CHQ for according administrative
approval but pending till today. The
Secretary General advised to re-submit the proposal after proper
bifurcation. He has also informed that
the decision taken in the Office Council for not to engage the Technical
Operator (Drilling) in Watch & Ward duty in CGWB. An Order already been
issued by the CHQ in this connection and will be persuaded vigorously for
implementation with time frame.
Com
N.Kumar, Member, Office Council(JCM) explained that no essential drilling
materials like all sizes of pipe, Bits, hammer, drill rods, mud and Pea-gravel
and Tent etc., are available in divisional stores, due to non procurement of
these items, Divisional offices are facing much difficulty in achieving the
prescribed/stipulated target. Instead of
MS pipe, Div.IV is using PVC pipe on casing on rock formation, this is not
sustainable and it may collapse at any time.
During assembly in rotary rigs, the minimum 8” or 10” MS pipes is to be
used, but now most of the Divisions are using only 6” MS pipe, where there will
be no scope for pump test, if no proper pump test, zone test, then the yield
from the tube well become questionable.
So far, the Central Ground Water Board employees has been participated
in many strikes, dharna and rally etc., now the time has come to fight for saving our own Department,
for which the Strike is inevitable. The Central Ground Water Board is spending
more funds on Drawing competition and making wall calendars and table calendars
etc., Moreover, during the drawing competition more Scientists of Regional
Offices are involving months together, keeping aside their nature of duty and
the main purpose of appointing Scientists in CGWB are getting deviated. Instead of allotting funds to drawing
competition, CGWB can be procured the essential materials to ensure the smooth
functioning of Divisional offices without any hindrance.
He also pointed out
the disparity in submission of undertaking and performing Watch & Ward duty
among Technical Operator(D), Compressor
Operator and Black Smith, but at the time of promotion to the post of ADCM,
they are being denied promotion at same station. He requested house to take suitable action to
remove the disparity in submitting undertaking & performing Watch &
Ward duty immediately. Com President
informed this has happened due to merger of TO(D) & ADCM posts. The President advised Secretary General to
approach the Director (Admn) to fix up the date of Office Council Meeting so
that the agenda items will be submitted to authority well in advance.
Com. K.S.Madhusudhan, SG, declared to conduct
the 3rd CEC meeting scheduled to be held during the 1st
Week of March 2013. The exact date and
place will be decided and intimated soon.
The meeting was ended with vote of thanks to
Chair.

CIRCULAR NO. 10 DATED – 29.11.2013
GET READY FOR STRIKE
CONFEDERATION NATIONAL SECRETARIAT DECIDES TO ORGANIZE PHASED AGITATIONAL PROGRAMMES CULMINATING IN STRIKE
NO COMPROMISE ON THE TERMS OF REFERENCE OF 7th CPC SUBMITTED BY THE STAFF SIDE
1. The National Secretariat of the Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers met at New Delhi on 28.11.2013 and reviewed the situation arising out of the Government’s announcement of Seventh Central Pay Commission and the subsequent developments thereon.
2. Even though Government has announced constitution of 7th Central Pay Commission, the appointment is yet to take place. In the meanwhile one round of discussion was held with Secretary, DOP&T on terms of reference. Subsequently, the staff side, JCM National Council has submitted a unanimous proposal on the items to be included in the terms of reference of the 7th CPC, which includes (i) date of effect as 01.01.2014 (2) merger of DA with pay (3) grant of interim relief (4) inclusion of GDS under the ambit of 7th CPC (5) statutory pension for those entered into service on or after 01.01.2004 (6) settlement of anomalies of 6th CPC (7) cashless/hassle-free medicare facilities etc.
Government while announcing the 7th CPC has made it clear that the date of effect will be 01.01.2016. Further nothing has been mentioned about DA merger and interim relief. Regarding GDS the declared stand of the Government is that GDS are not civil servants and in the past also every time when CPC is appointed, the Government refused to include them in the Pay commission. Last time also inspite of the strong protest and agitational programmes conducted by NFPE and Postal JCA, the Government has appointed a bureaucratic committee. Regarding statutory pension to those who entered into service on or after 01.01.2004, the Government’s stand is well known and it may refuse to include this item also in the terms of reference.
This being the position, our past experience shows that unless and until the demands raised in the staff side proposal submitted to Government on terms of reference of the CPC is backed by serious agitational programmes, rallying the entire Central Government Employees and create compulsion on the Government to accept our justified stand, there is every possibility of Government rejecting the above proposal.
Further all of us are aware that the political situation in the country is gradually getting in election mode. This is bringing forth before the working class movement a crucial task of front-loading our class issues in the ensuring political battle. We have to keep in mind that the corporate class and corporate controlled media has started making effort for relegating the working class issues and the economic policy related issues in particular to the background. It is our duty to bring the demands of the working class to the fore-front and conduct intensive campaign against those policies and also against those who are supporting the neo-liberal globalization policies. Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers being the part and parcel of the mainstream of the working class of our country has got an added responsibility to rally the entire Central Government Employees in the joint struggle against the anti-people and anti-worker policies of the Government which shall ultimately lead to a change in the political equation ensuring implementation of pro-people, pro-worker alternative policy.
Taking into Consideration all the above facts and circumstances, the National Secretariat of the Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers met at new Delhi on 28.11.2013 took a unanimous decision to go for strike if the Government refuse to accept the staff side proposal on terms of reference. Confederation further decided to organize series of phased programme of action and campaign from now onwards so that the employees will be ready to go for strike on short notice.
It is further decided that Confederation shall not go for any compromise on the demands raised in the proposal submitted by the JCM Staff side on terms of reference of 7th CPC.
3. The following are the important decision of the National Secretariat.
1. The earlier decision to defer the strike ballot after the announcement of the 7th CPC by the Government is ratified. Under the given circumstances the decision taken to defer the ballot was perfectly right.
2. The modification made in the Confederation Charter of Demands regarding date of effect of the 7th CPC (i.e. from 01.01.2011 to 01.01.2014) is approved as it was necessitated for arriving at unanimity among the staff side on term of reference which will strengthen further the unity of all Central Government organizations including Railways and Defence.
3. Approved the modified Charter of Demands of the Confederation which includes the terms of reference submitted by the Staff side to the Government (copy enclosed Annexure – I)
4. Decided to conduct the following phased programme of campaign and agitational programmes.
(a) Convening the Managing bodies/Executive Committees of all affiliated organizations to discuss and ratify the Confederation decision to go for agitational programmes culminating in strike.
(b) Sector-wise/organisation-wise intensive campaign among the employees by conducting squad work, General body meetings, conventions, postering and issuing printed pamphlets, lunch hour meetings etc, explaining the demands raised in the charter of demands and also the necessity to go for strike if our demands on terms of reference are not accepted. All India/State Leaders of the affiliated organizations shall under-take extensive tour as part of campaign programme.
(c) The campaign tour programme finalized by the Secretariat meeting earlier is to be implemented. Whereever State level and C-O-C level conventions are yet to be held, it should be held before 20.12.2013. All State Committees and C-O-Cs are requested to organize conventions immediately. The name of the Confederation National leaders who are attending the conventions is given in the enclosed circular. Date of the Conventions may be fixed in consultation with the concerned comrade.
(d) Decided to conduct nationwide day-long dharna programme
