different places of the country to attend the 2nd Central Executive
Committee meeting of All India Central Ground Water Board Employees

scenario right from the beginning of Arbitrary, Unilateral and unlawful

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

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.

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.
