LETTER TO CIRCLE SECRETARY REGARDING FINACLE PROBLEM

ALL INDIA POSTAL EMPLOYEES UNIO GROUP C

SHIVAMOGGA DIVISION, SHIVAMOGGA 577201

No;1/STF/Pres/2016/dlgs Date;16.01.2016

To,

Com.Janaki Ram,

Circle Secretary,

AIPEU Gr C

Karnataka Circle

BENGALURU.

Dear Comrade,

Good morning,

I am with painful note addressing this letter to you to take up the issue with appropriate level.

In Karnataka Circle the migration of all 58 HOs have been completed and only few SOs are left for migration. This will also be completed by March 2016. But the problems facing by employees are not addressed by any officer.

Since last one week the finacle is very slow and in many offices this is not at all working. In almost all offices the customers are cursing the officials at the counters as they are not in a position to get transactions in the office. The officials are become helpless. Added to this in Shivamogga division, about 36 officials user IDs were locked on Wednesday. It was able to get de- locked only at about 7.30PM. Officials forced to sit in the offices up to mid night for finishing the work. This has become a usual practice in now a days. The divisional administration is not at all bothering about this and not at all caring for this. They are showing their hands towards RO/CO and pressing for EOD only. The staffs are ready work but the working atmosphere is not at all there in the office. Either main server is not connecting, net work problems, shortage of staff etc., The officials in the ground level are frustrated over the attitude of administration. Added to this they have to face the customer and take the blame from the customer for no fault of them. This not only problems of Shivamogga but it is a problem all over the circle.

Kindly take up the issue with the concerned and urge for immediate necessary action in this regard.

I hope that you will take this in right perspective and come to rescue of the official who are in need of some relief.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

(PRAKASH RAO)
