(1).       REVIEW OF 2ND CEC MEETING

(I).       Violation of Approved Transfer Norms --
            Secretary General stated that Chairman & Director (Admn) of CGWB have become adamant and violating the approved transfer norms existing in the Board .  He also narrated that Director (Admn) is expressing his inability regarding transfer & posting cases.  It is also repeatedly stated by Director (Admn) that  Association  has no power to make any correspondence  with the authority regarding transfer & posting cases  and he has no power  to consider any of these cases and taking clue to take up these issues with  the Chairman, if so.    In this regard, CEC requested him to issue a letter to Association which is pending till date resulting employees are not getting their transfers on own request/public interest despite of vacancy & norms.  And it is also observed that administration issuing unlawful transfer orders which creates financial hardship, harassment & mental agony.  It is also seen that guidelines for economy measures is not kept in mind while issuing such orders unnecessarily causing financial loss to the Government. He also quoted some examples such as DCM/ADCM/UDC/OS & SK/Foreman cases how the administration is keeping silence and asiding  without considering the staff grievances.  In this regard correspondences were made and reminders also given, but no fruitful result.   Therefore, it is established that employees are not getting transfers on request and at the same time the forcible transfers are taking place which is violation of Transfer Norms. Regarding transfer of  Com. Dinesh Kumar Shaunak, Assistant Foreman, Div.V, Ranchi, Com. Bhatnaik, Draughtsman, Com.P.S.Bhasme, TOD, Com. G.B. Mendhe, DCM , CGWB, from Hyderabad to Nagpur, Com. R. R. K. Sinha, Asstt.  & others reminder will be submitted to the  Director (Admn).

In this subject, a thread-bare discussion was passed and a resolution made in the house that the authority should be given one more chance with15 days (fifteen days) time   to consider all the genuine pending transfer cases otherwise this matter will be taken-up  in appropriate forum and agitational  programme may take place  and the Head of the Department  will be held responsible in future (Resolution enclosed) .  However, a letter will be issued  from CEC to all the Branch GS/Chairman to send a list of pending transfer cases in respect of their employees (post-wise, separately ) latest by 15.07.2014 positively,  so that, a consolidated request list can be prepared and submitted to the Board immediately. 

(II).      Disciplinary action against BEC/individual employees of Div.II, Ambala --
            Com. S.S. Acharya, Assistant Secretary General  stated, during the episode of Ambala issue it was clearly established  that Shri H. K.

Manocha, EE, out of Ambala,  which has not yet been  carried out. In this regard a detail report was submitted by him.   The matter was discussed and decided that another fresh letter will be written to Director (Admn) for immediate transfer of present  Ambala Executive Engineer otherwise CEC will be compelled to write next higher authority in next forum.  This must be given top priority.  Regarding transfer of Angrej Singh, Mech, from Jodhpur to Ambala, Secretary General assured the house that same will be done before retirement of Chairman as assurance given at the time of cancellation of transfer orders of Com. Arjun Singh, Mech & Com. Rajnesh Kumar, TOD & GS of Div.II, Ambala.    However, transfer request of Com. Angrej Singh, Mech, will be  looked-into  before retirement of Chairman  i.e. 07/2014.  Also, Secretary General requested all the leaders to strictly adhere the instruction  of CEC in future if any,  and  decided to ignore  last three sentences of 2nd para of the minutes of 2nd CEC (2013-15).

(III).    Directions/Interference of the Ministry --
