Dear
Comrades,
Courtesy Meeting with DAI was held on 11th October
2017. Comrades Tapas Bose, President, V Sreekumar and Anilkumar, Additional
Secretaries General represented the Association in addition to the Secretary
General. PD, Staff, AC (N) and AO (JCM) were also present.
During the freewheeling discussion,
the following issues were brought to the notice of DAI, requesting personal
intervention.
Denial of trade union facilities at
Allahabad Audit and MAB-I, Mumbai – the position was explained in detail.
Chennai situation – explaining the
situation, we pointed out that AG is questioning the authority of DAI and CAG
and also of the acts passed by Parliament raising a question on office decorum
and rule of law.
Additional Chances for SAS exam –
elaborating the position, we requested that the issue may be looked at afresh
considering the post 2010 situation where there was no cap on the number of
chances for SAS Part II. We requested that atleast those left with one or two
papers may please be permitted additional chances, as a first step.
Compassionate Ground appointment –
the rigidity that is followed by many field units were pointed out. Adding cost
of dwelling unit as income is prevalent leading to rejection of many otherwise
deserving applications. In many cases the report of the Welfare Officer is
without any compassion. There is a need to issuance of liberalised guidelines
in this regard – including a refresher course to Welfare Officers on
Compassion.
Induction Training – We pointed out
that in the earlier days all the new recruits were to undergo induction
training that gave every new entrant a fair idea about the functioning of the
IA&AD as a whole and also wing wise. This helped to inject sense of
commitment to the discharge of our duty as a noble one, in service of the
nation, in service of probity in public life. There is a need to re-introduce
the same so as to inculcate the basic ethos of the Department as ‘watchdog of
Indian finances’.
We also conveyed our apprehension
that HQr office is failing in asserting itself when faced with
aberrations/deviations committed by officers at field level. This has led to
situations where certain officers have dared to question even CAG in their
interaction with personnel working under them.
In the course of discussion we also
pointed out various deviations that are committed by various officials at field
level who try to divide the personnel working field offices on various grounds.
DAI, actively intervening in the
discussion, agreed to attend to the issues raised by the Association.
