Meeting with 7CPC at Shimla

We came to know at about 1600 hours on 12/11/2014 that Himachal Pradesh Branch of All India Association of Inspector Posts & Assistant Superintendent Posts has been allotted  20 minutes slot (at 1740 hours on 12/11/2014 itself) for discussion/meeting with  Hon’ble CPC (After seeing their engagement program as no formal invitation/confirmation on telephone or e-Mail has been received from any CPC authority).   

            Accordingly we planned to present our self as per the memorandum already submitted to them in advance. Since there are three associations/Unions from H.P. Postal Circle (IP/ASP Association, Administrative Union NFPE (Group C & D) and AIPEU Group-C Union) having appointments with CPC and the CPC just want to hear us on the issues specially related to Himachal Pradesh & not on All India issues. They also commented that the issues are almost common and offered to club the meeting of all the three postal entities combined, to which all have to agree.

            Total 15 members from three entities have attended the scheduled meeting, out of which following two representatives from our association have attended the meeting.

1)    Rattan Chand Sharma, Circle Secretary, IP/ASP Association-HP

2)    Surinder Singh, Organizing Secretary-II, IP/ASP Association-HP

Following members/officers from 7^th CPC have attended the meeting.

4.            Sh. Sameer Sinha – Joint Secretary

5.            Sh. Jayant Sinha

Since they only want to hear us on the issues related to the Himachal Pradesh, we discussed following items with them

1)   Cost of Living in Shimla and its corresponding affect on enhancement of HRA, RLA & Transport Allowance.

2)   Hard Area Allowance for higher reaches of Himachal Pradesh
