S E C T I O N –A (INTRODUCTION)

At the outset, Shri C.K.Kutty, Dy.CPO/IR welcomed all the members of the SWRMU for the 24th PNM. He mentioned that this is the second meeting of the current year and the administration is looking forward cordial and result oriented discussions in this meeting. Then, he requested Shri K.Harikrishnan, CPO/SWR to address the forum.

CPO in his opening address welcomed Shri W.A.Yadwad, Zonal President, Shri A.M.D’Cruz, General Secretary and other office bearers of SWRMU and Officers and Officials present and mentioned that this is the 2nd

PNM during the current year. Last year only one PNM was conducted because half of the period had gone due to secret ballot elections and other reasons, but this year, administration is able to conduct 2nd PNM within a span of 6 months and wished that the discussion will be fruitful and to the satisfaction of both administration and Union.

Then, CPO requested Shri A.M.D’Cruz, GS/SWRMU to address the forum.

2.0 Shri A.M. D’Cruz, General Secretary, SWRMU welcoming the Office Bearers of SWRMU & the Officers present for the 24th PNM meeting, has agreed with CPO that the schedule of PNM could not be adhered to during the last year because of Secret Ballot Elections and other reasons. He also mentioned that SWRMU emerged as Single Union in SWR among the 5 Unions contested elections. He thanked the administration for smooth conduct of elections without any problems and also thanked 33,000 employees of SWR for electing SWRMU as Single Union over SWR.

2.1 GS, with profound grief intimated to all that their beloved leader, Com. Umraomal Purohit, President, All India Railwaymen’s Federation, the father of the Indian Trade Union Movement and an International level leader breathed last on 27th February, 2014 in Mumbai.

2.2 He mentioned that as per the Law and Constitution of AIRF, AIRF has conducted a special convention in Chennai on 3rd & 4th of July-2014 wherein Com.

Page 3 of 70

4.0 Welcoming him CPO mentioned that, this was the 2nd PNM after our respected General Manager has taken over charge and that too within a short span of about 6 months. This shows the kind of efforts both the administration and recognized Union are taking to solve the problems.

4.1 In between PNMs also, whenever a problem is brought to our notice by the recognized Union sincere attempts have been made to solve them. He also indicated that the administration is getting very good cooperation from the recognized Union in running the Railways smoothly. CPO also mentioned that our performance in many areas has been good.

4.2 CPO mentioned that, after the last PNM with SWRMU, Shri.Umraomal Purohit, who was the President of AIRF is no more with us and requested all to observe one minute silence as a mark of respect to Shri.Umraomal Purohit. One minute silence was observed by all.

4.3 He then mentioned to the General Manager that many new and old subjects have been placed in the present PNM and a number of subjects have already been discussed with the PHODs and HODs and among them a few subjects will be coming for the kind attention of GM, and afterwards he requested respected General Manager to address the forum.

5.0 Addressing the forum, GM stated that he is happy that with active cooperation of Union, SWR’s performance is commendable in increasing in loading and passenger earnings. He also stated that SWR was able to run many Holiday Specials to clear extra rush, which contributed to overall increase in the earnings.

5.1 Day before yesterday Railway Budget was presented and everybody might have seen the directions of Budget announcements, which are of course for better betterment of the Railways. He informed that though financial crunch continues, adequate funds have been given for the new lines and doublings, etc.,

5.2 With regard to allotment of funds towards Staff welfare and staff amenities, he mentioned that the money given in the present budget is almost at the same level as we got last year. But, he assured that no stone will be left unturned to get the revenue demands.

5.3 Though financial crunch continues on the Railways, still position is not that much bad so as to cause any panic. He asked the executive departments to prioritize the most critical items.

5.4 GM assured that Unions will be taken into confidence while planning for the improvements in the colonies. Instructions have been given to DRMs to select priority items. Hygiene will not be neglected at any cost in the colonies.

5.5 We may not able to construct new quarters and repairs also cannot be undertaken for the quarters which are 75 years old, since they can be demolished at any time.

6.6 He described about the bad incident that took place at Mysore workshop on 21st March, 2014 and felt that it should not have happened. He mentioned that Union Members went to meet the General Manager only on the advice of the administration and in turn administration has filed an FIR against the 24 Union Members including the General Secretary of SWRMU, which is not at all correct. The incident has happened only on the provocation of RPF staff. He requested the General Manager to withdraw the FIR. He also added that promotion has been denied to one employee at Mysore Workshops stating that criminal case is pending against him.

6.7 He has written a DO letter to General Manager regarding the denial of audience by CSC and the reply is still awaited from the administration. He mentioned that being a single recognized union on SWR, they are following the democratic way of deliberations.

6.8 Cadre restructuring is yet to be implemented in many of the important cadres like Ticket Checking staff, Welfare Inspectors, which was supposed to be implemented from 01.11.2013. He requested General Manager to look into this aspect.

6.9 He is happy that he is getting the appointment with General Manager, whenever there is a need and also thanked the General Manager for taking a stand that on each death, one CGA needs to be offered as per rules.

6.10 A uniform policy should be adopted through out SWR with regard to appointment on compassionate grounds. He pointed out about a committee formed by UBL division to screen the CGA candidates, which is against the rules.

6.11 Steps should be taken to fill up the vacancies of Welfare Inspectors at the earliest, being an important category especially dealing with CGA cases.

6.12 The replies for 11 preamble subjects of last PNM meeting are yet to be received.

6.13 He has strongly objected to the retention of women employees beyond office hours and appealed General Manager to see that no women employee should be retained beyond office hours especially at the New Building, Gadag Road where transportation facilities are not available. GM has informed that no women employees will be needlessly asked to stay back beyond office hours and he also stated that he expects those employees should finish their assigned job within the stipulated time especially during Parliament Session.

6.14 GS also mentioned that even after repeatedly pointing out in every PNM, SDGM is not attending the PNM for discussion. He also mentioned that at Railway Board’s level, Director (Vigilance) is participating in the negotiations. GS requested General Manager to advise SDGM to attend PNM meeting to sort the issues.

6.15 Vigilance Department is not following rules especially with regard to Commercial circulars. He mentioned a recent incident at Hubli Station where One Vigilance Inspector has insisted the Reservation Supervisor to declare his private cash, though it has not been stated in any of the rules and moreover that particular inspector has seized the private cash of Commercial Supervisor. He demanded that the amount seized should be returned to the employee immediately.

S E C T I O N –B (PREAMBLE SUBJECTS)

All the following 25 items tabled as preamble subjects had been sent to respective P/CHODs for detailed examination and remarks. All these issues will be replied in writing to GS/ SWRMU separately. Preliminary discussions however were held on each item with the respective HOD.

(1) I - Item no.1 of Last Preamble subject: Cadre Restructuring of Group-C & D - Matching surrender (RB’s lr.no.PCIII/203/CRC/4 (RBE no.102/2013) dt.08.10.2013 --- This Union strongly opposes the matching surrender of posts for implementing cadre restructuring as per Board’s orders. In the recent PNM held with Railway Board on Jan 16th & 17th, 2014, the Union through the Federation has opposed the matching surrender of posts in various grades. As higher grade posts are being proposed for surrendering for the money value, the Union is urging that the posts in the lowest grade may be surrendered for the purpose.

In this connection, it is pointed out that as per instructions contained in RBO 91/2011 and Board’s lr.no.E(MPP)/2005/1/54/III of 06.03.2007 higher grade posts should not be surrendered while implementing restructuring.

As per Sr.DPO/UBL lr.no.H/P-135/V/Restructuring cadre/2013 dt. 29.01.2014 it is noticed that higher grade posts are being surrendered for matching surrender. This is highly objectionable. Hence the Union urges to issue necessary instructions to all concerned not to surrender higher grade vacancies.

No action has been taken till date and no remarks furnished till date. FA&CAO, CPO

(18) Conducting of General Department Competitive Exam (GDCE) for filling up of vacancies in graduate quota - The GDCE exam to fill up graduate quota has not been held from quite long time to fill up the vacancies of ECRC, ASMs & TCs and other categories from serving graduates, whereas one such selection was held during erstwhile Southern Railway days when SBC division was part of Southern Railway. Since then no such selections have been held ever. As the administration is aware that the new RRC candidates are well educated and having graduation qualification even in some of them are master graduates and they are working as group ‘D’ employees If the administration conducts GDCE selections, it is a golden opportunity for serving graduate employees to excel themselves in the competitive exam to seek better career progression for them. This was one of DRM/PNM agenda in 33rd PNM of SBC division and the remarks furnished were that the matter has been referred to HQ. Hence this union urges to conduct GDCE selections to facilitate promotional opportunity to serving Group-D graduates.

(21) Distribution of Toilet soap (PL no.81050914) to Sr.Tech with GP 4200 In MYSS – Based on COS letter no.04/81/12/1072 dt. 13.12.12 toilet soaps are being issued instead of soap laundry for those staff below GP 4200 at the rate of 8 nos per year. Since Sr.Technicians are with GP 4200 it is limited to only 4 nos as par with JE and SSE. Unlike JE or SSE, Sr.Technicians are physically working and they also eligible to get 8 nos per year even though they are in GP 4200. Hence the above COS letter may be modified and new letter should be issued to concerned to distribute 8 nos of toilet soap to all Sr.Technicians with GP 4200

(24) Problems of Loco Inspectors of UBL division – The division LIs asked for protocol duties to PHODs for all the times like NDLS-HYB-ALD-SC for long duration. They are attending trouble shooting daily some problems to the Locos (sanders repair, adding of water, minor Loco repairs). Even after night foot plate duties, LIs are not spared to avail proper rest. Allow LIs to take FR/Rest as per their eligibility. Sanctioning of leave to LIs by Sr.DME/P/UBL is not liberal. Whenever LP/ALP not having LRS between LWR-AVA-LWR administration forcing LIs to take crew with train which incorrect. Every now and then CMPE/SWR is asking division LIs movement to CPRC/PRC. As if LIs are not performing their foot plate duties. CMPE/SWR harassment to prepare sectional directory which is impossible to do by keeping so much work. Due to the above problems Loco Inspectors are unable to monitor/counsel to NLPs /ALPs /Shunters properly and DAR enquiries, punctuality drives, running room inspections, crew lobby inspections, safety drives are delayed / affected. Therefore, HQ LI should be nominated for protocol duties, RCD and sand witnessing. Trouble staff to provide at UBL station. Specific rest to be given as per eligibility and leave/rest to be granted.

(25) Medical decategorized running staff to alternative job – Sri. S. Kumar who was Goods Pilot in SBC division was medically decategorized while giving alternative appointment they have given as CRC/SBC in GP 4200. After that there is no further promotion as it is kept in as CRC. Instead of CRC he requested administration to give in Commercial Department where he can go further promotion still he is having about 20 yrs service without any promotion. So this union urge the administration again he should be given for re-screening for the medical decategorized and give the Commercial as GP 4600 which is available.

M I N U T E S (4/5-02-2014):

As per Railway Board guidelines, a committee has been formed consisting of HQ(SAG) level and (JAG) Divisional level to monitor adequate facilities at TTE’s rest room.

GS/SWRMU has mentioned that facilities as per the instructions of Railway Board are yet to be provided, especially at stations like Hubli, Shimoga. At Hubli itself, which is headquarters of SWR, 25 beds are required at peak hours whereas only 19 beds are available. Water Geysers, Coolers etc. should be repaired immediately. The problems faced by the TTEs of SWR in Rest Rooms at Tirupati, Chennai, etc. of neighbouring Railways are yet to be solved.

M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)

It was mentioned to the Union that as per the Railway Board guidelines, a committee has been formed consisting of HQ(SAG) level and (JAG) Divisional level to monitor provision of adequate facilities at TTEs rest rooms. In addition to above, divisions were also instructed to take immediate action to sort out the deficiencies at TTEs rest rooms and to maintain zero deficiency vide letter dated 12.06.2014. The Divisions have been given a target date for the deficiencies reported to be made good by 31.08.2014.

CCM has informed that the issue has already been taken up with South Central Railway in respect of TTEs rest room at TPTY.

GS/SWRMU has raised the pathetic condition of TTEs at Tirupathi where TTEs are hiring rooms on payment as the existing rest room for TTEs is very bad. He also mentioned that this issue has been brought to the notice of DRM/SBC on several occasions. GS demanded that till such time improvements are made in the existing rest room at Tirupathi, reimbursement for hiring the retiring room has to be arranged. GS also demanded that few retiring rooms should be earmarked for the occupation of TTEs of Bangalore Division till such time the existing rest room is made fit for occupation.

During the discussions, the problems being faced at Chennai has also been highlighted by GS. GS mentioned that even at Hubli, being the Headquarters of SWR, sufficient beds are not being provided.

CCM mentioned that with regard to lack of facilities including paucity of beds, it was decided that the matter will be vigorously taken up with other Railways and an acceptable solution will be found within a couple of months.

GS has discussed this issue with General Manager on 10.07.2014 also and GM assured that necessary steps will be taken shortly to improve the conditions at the rest rooms of TTEs and GM advised CCM to earmark a few Retiring Rooms for the use of TTEs, which will give some relief.

GS specifically mentioned that cooking facilities should also be extended to the TTEs on par with the Loco running staff in terms of Railway Board’s instructions issued during 2010. GM mentioned that the instructions of Railway Board will be followed.

As per instructions contained at para II (2) of this letter (page 3) JE/ Electrical department of UBLS and MYSS have to be filled up by UBL and MYS respectively. GS/SWRMU stated that he has not agreed for the above proposal and wanted the decision to be reviewed.

APPOINTMENT OF CANDIDATES HAVING ITI QUALIFICATION IN REFRIGERATION & AIR CONDITIONING MECHANIC AS TECH GR-III ON COMPASSIONATE GROUND AT CWS/AP.

Two candidates, Shri Arun kumar S/o Siddalingappa and Shri Sreejit S/o K.Kandan were appointed as Khalasi on Compassionate ground at CWS/AP though they possess ITI qualification in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning and same trade is available at CWS/AP under Mechanical department. Hence, their appointment should be modified as Tech-III with 06 months training period.

M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):Refrigeration and Air conditioning trade is not a relevant trade for workshops. Both the candidates were subjected to suitability test and Shri Sreejit, who was found suitable and appointed as App.Tech.Gr.III and Shri.Arun Kumar was found suitable for only Group-D post.

SWRMU stated that Shri Arun Kumar, who is having the qualification of ITI in Refrigeration and air conditioning should also be considered for the post of App.Tech.Gr.III as his qualification is within the ambit of RBE No.196/2006. Further, SWRMU mentioned that in the recent notification of Centralized Employment Notice, the same qualifications were prescribed.

M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):

It was mentioned to the Union that the matter has been examined further. It is true that RBE No.196/2006 quoted, gives the list of trades under the Craftsmen Training Scheme but Refrigeration and Air Conditioning trade is not a relevant trade for the Mysore Workshops and hence the case of Sri.Arun kumar cannot be considered for Compassionate Ground Appointment directly as Technician based on his ITI in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning. Since he has not passed the suitability test for Technician, he was offered Group D post.

This subject was deliberated at length and GS/SWRMU has not been convinced with the above remarks and contended that ITI in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning is very much eligible for appointment as AC fitter and the candidate need not be trained for three years. He also handed over a copy of RRB notification in support of his contention wherein this trade has been indicated as eligible for the post of AC fitter.

The matter will be examined further by CEE and CPO and put up to General Manager.

M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)

AC cadre is yet to be formed in MYS Shops. ITI qualification in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning was not relevant trade in MYS shops at present. As already mentioned since he has not passed the suitability test for Technician, he was offered Group D post. He joined Gr.D post and there after he was promoted to Tech.Gr.III. The position was also put up to GM as decided in the PNM.

However, GS/SWRMU has stated that since AC cadre is formed in Mysore Shops, instructions should be given to Workshop that in future CGA cases should not be rejected, if any of the candidates is having the above referred qualifications.

Hence, this Union urges to advise SBC Division to revise and re-fix the pay of Tower Car Drivers in light of the above Board’s instructions with1 retrospective effect.

M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):

It has been pointed out by SWRMU that as per the instructions contained in Railway Board’s Letter No.PC/IV/2005/CC/SR dt.02.03.2005 addressed to CPO/S.Rly, the Tower Wagon Drivers who were in erstwhile pay scales of in 5th PC Rs.4500-7000 have to be fixed in GP 2800/- whereas the same is fixed in GP Rs.2400/- for Tower Wagon Drivers working in Bangalore Division.

PROVISION OF LIEN TO AC TRIP SHED STAFF.

This Union had raised a demand in the Zonal PNM vide sub.No.49/09 for provision of lien for the TRD staff working at AC Trip Shed/SBC. In the minutes recorded against the item it has been agreed to review the entire case afresh. This was also an agenda in the Divisional PNM. In pursuant to the demand raised by this Union, P. Branch/SBC have to call for options from the employees to give their option / willingness to work at AC trip shed with bottom seniority.

Hence, this Union urges to convey the Headquarters decision in the subject matter to enable the Division to provide the lien and for regular absorption at AC Trip Shed.

M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):

It was explained to the union that the lien of AC Trip Shed staff has to be decided by DRM/SBC since TRS and TRD are both separate cadre and are having separate seniority unit which is fully controlled by Bangalore division.

The demand of SWRMU for interpolating the seniority of five Helper/TRDs who were being utilized in TRS depot from 03.11.97 was regretted by DRM during August-2008 and these employees were given opportunity to exercise option to join the cadre of Helper/TRS vide letter dated 13.08.2008 on bottom seniority. However, none of the five employees exercised option for joining TRS unit on bottom seniority till May 2011.

It was pointed out by SWRMU that in the earlier PNM it was agreed to review the entire issue and however review has not been done so far. SWRMU reiterated their demand that the staff, who are presently in TRS should be given lien in their seniority unit from the date of joining in TRS wing. It was also mentioned that the staff when got promotion, they were not relieved to TRD.

This issue had been very vehemently projected in the Divisional PNM and it has been reciprocated that already a proposal has been sent vide Sr.DPO/SBC, Letter No.B/P.135/CP/S&T/SBC dated: 21.08.2012 duly vetted by accounts has been forwarded to Headquarters for necessary creation. Hence, this Union urges to create necessary posts. M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):

RESTORATION OF HIGHER GRADE POST SURRENDERED IN BRI UNIT SBC DIVISION.

Time & again this subject is coming for discussion and further review at Headquarter Zonal/PNM this issue was discussed under item No. 16/09 and approved in subsequent PNM meeting preamble agenda although PCE had given a commitment to immediately restore the higher grade post surrendered at BRI unit SBC no tangible action could be seen for the restoring the post the staff who are aspiring for the promotion at the virtue of at their retirement.

During each one of the zonal PNM in the opening address by GS/SWRMU it has been urged to restore the higher grade posts surrendered since the promotional prospects has been very badly affected to serving employees particularly who are virtue of retirement. Despite of our hue & cry administration has did nothing other than giving a vague reply by assuring this Union 52 posts are being created. The BRI staffs are totally lost their faith due to administration delay in creation of posts.

Hence, it is urged to immediately restore the higher grade posts in light of Board’s instructions.

M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):

The proposal for creation of 14 posts, which were surrendered in Bridge Unit, Bangalore Division, was initially proposed to mitigate the difficulty of staff due to surrender of posts in higher grade as per Railway Board`s letter No. E(MPP) 2009/6/8 dt23.03.2012, to restore the higher grade posts by surrendering the lowest recruitment grade without seeking money value from the vacancy Bank. The proposal is under process for concurrence from the finance.

PCE also explained to the Union that Finance has raised the objection to create the posts as the same were surrendered prior to 06.01.2007 and the current proposal of creation of posts will not come in the ambit of Railway Board letter issued during 2012, which advises to restore the higher grade posts immediately duly surrendering the lowest level posts.

GS/SWMU has stated that the letter regarding restoration of higher grade posts was issued during 2012 only, whereas this issue is being discussed since 2009 and earlier PCEs have assured that the higher grade posts will be restored back.

SWRMU was not satisfied with the above position and this issue was discussed in the presence of GM again. GM assured that the matter will be looked into.

M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):

As per RBE 39/2012 dated 23.03.2012, only the higher grade posts surrendered after 06.03.2007 can be restored surrendering the posts in the lowest recruitment grade from the cadre. In the above case, the posts were surrendered on 29.03.2006. Hence restoration of these posts could not be done. However a proposal has been sent to Sr.DFM/SBC on 03.01.2014 for concurrence for creation of 28 work-charged posts (MCM-1, Revitter Gr.I-3, Revitter Gr.II-2, Revitter Gr.III-1, Welder GR.I–2, Welder Gr.II–1, Welder Gr.III-1 and Helper-17 posts. Total – 28 posts).

GS/SWRMU has not agreed for creation of work-charged posts, since Bridge cadre is permanent and this subject was referred to the General Manager. General Manager has assured that action will be taken to create some of the revenue posts, which are considered essential after identifying equivalent matching surrender.

PCE

Page 24 of 70

M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)

It was mentioned that proposal for creation of 16 number of ex.cadre posts is under process in SBC Division, but Accounts has not agreed for the same as the Bridge cadre is a permanent one and work charged posts cannot be created.

This issue has been deliberated in the presence of General Manager also on 10.07.2014. General Manager advised FA&CAO and PCE to look into the matter once again within the frame work of rules.

GS has pointed out that in case the posts are not being created at Zonal level, a letter may be given to the Union so that they can take up the matter at Federation level, since the higher grade posts were surrendered against the instructions of Railway Board, which is hampering the promotional prospects of existing employees.

Therefore, the posts available based on the revised percentage w.e.f. 01.11.2003 will remain unchanged

WELDER: The posts of Welder in Engineering Department is maintained as “Ex-Cadre Post”. The lien of the incumbents detailed in the above table are being maintained in respective P.Way Units.

SANCTION OF MACP IN 4800, 5400 & 6600 FOR ENGINEERING GRADUATES APPOINTED AS APPRENTICE CHARGEMAN ‘A’ BEFORE 1986.The induction of supervisors to Railways was being done through RRBs from the Diploma holders as Apprentice Mechanics with two years and the graduates as Apprentice Charge man ‘A’ with one year training.

These Apprentice Mechanics became Chargeman ‘B’ and Apprentice Chargeman ‘A’ became Chargeman ‘A’ after their satisfactory completion of training up to the year 1986 in the mechanical cadre After 1986, the diploma holders were inducted as Junior Engineer Gr.II trainees and Graduates were inducted as Section Engineer Trainees (Dy.SS). The hierarchy of technical supervisors in mechanical cadre was as under up to the 5th CPC:

JE-II JE-I SE SSE From 6th CPC, the hierarchy has been revised as: JE SSE.

While implementing the recommendations of 6th CPC, the two grades viz: JE-I & JE-II have been merged as JE with GP 4200 in PB-2 and SE & SSE have been merged as SSE with GP 4600 in PB-2. This merging has been done without visualizing the fate of technical graduates inducted during the 3rd CPC.

During the implementation of MACP, the financial upgradation for technical graduates appointed as Apprentice Chargeman ‘A’ should have been started from GP 4800 for first MACP, 5400 for second MACP and finally 6600 for third MACP.

Because of not going into the details of the qualification of engineers during merging, it has resulted in some of the graduate engineers recruited as JE-I to loose one financial up gradation their career.

M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):Chargemen ‘A’ were inducted in Rs.550-750 Scale in the 3rd PC, which was revised to Rs.5500-9000 in Vth PC and replaced by GP of Rs.4200 in the 6th PC. The MACP entitlement will be regulated accordingly. SWRMU mentioned that only 2 MACPs have been accorded instead of 3 MACPs. Relevant details will be submitted by the Union and it will be examined further.

M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):

Union mentioned that direct recruitment of Chargemen ‘A’ was in Rs.550-750 Scale in the 3rd PC. Subsequently the direct recruitment quota was upgraded to 6500-10500 in V PC equivalent to GP 4600 in VI PC. Thus those who were appointed in Rs.550-750 Scale in the 3rd PC should get MACP to GP 4800, 5400 and 6600. DS/Workshop has agreed to furnish details of such cases. On receipt of the same, it will be examined further.

M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)

One case of Sri.Keshvan,SSE/MYSS (now retired) has been given by DS/SWRMU/MYSSS. Details of the case have been called from MYSS for examination. One more case of C.S.Ramesh SSE/Elect/MYSS was given by Divisional Secretary Mysore in the meeting

GS/SWRMU has stated that the award has been given based on the amount collected, which is not correct, since the difference of fare for long distance trains will naturally be more and it does not mean that the other staff have not discharged their duties efficiently. He requested to grant cash award for all the ticket checking staff irrespective of amount collected.

Thereupon CCM has agreed to refer the matter again to the Committee for re-examination.

M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)CCM has mentioned that the staff of Bangalore Division have already been given cash awards, whereas other divisions have not recommended for the same. He also mentioned that recommendation should be initiated by the respective Division only.

GS once again brought to the notice of CCM that the award has been given based on the amount collected, which is not correct, since the difference of fare for long distance trains will naturally be more and it does not mean that the other staff have not discharged their duties efficiently. He requested to grant cash award for all the ticket checking staff irrespective of amount collected.

GS has questioned the methodology being followed in awarding the limited staff. CCM has mentioned that a detailed reply will be given to SWRMU within 15 days on the criteria on which the particular TTEs were awarded.

For the Maintenance of New MEMU Rake a minimum the additional staffs of 05 Technicians + 07 Helpers are required.

Further any newly appointed staff from RRC requires time to acquire the skill for maintaining MEMU/AC Loco, if existing Senior Helpers with experience are promoted as Technicians, then acute shortage of Technicians can be dealt with when they take additional responsibility and can be deputed to work with new Helpers where in transfer of skills takes place in a smooth manner.

Hence it is urged that the required no of additional staff may be posted at the earliest at AC Loco Trip Shed/SBC and existing vacancy may be filled up, So that both the MEMU rake is maintained to the expected level without compromising the safety and can run in good fettle without any disruption to traffic.

RECOGNITION OF GROUP OF HOSPITALS AS REFERRAL HOSPITAL AT HQ LEVEL FOR ENTIRE ZONE.

At present recognition of individual hospital as referral hospitals are being done at divisional level. Because of this, if a particular facility is not available at a hospital recognized by a division, the sanction has to come from CMD to approach another referral hospital of the other division where the particular facility available. This will cause undue delay and create problems to critical patients. Instead of this, if this recognition is done with a group of hospitals as referral hospitals at Zonal level for entire zone, this difficulty can overcome and patients can be referred by CMS of the division as per the needs of patients and save valuable life.

ARBT station is yet to be commissioned and there is doubt about opening this station. 15 gang staffs are at present staying at this station, out of which only 3 men are locals who are habituated to come to this place by walking through the forest from their houses. The other 13 men were recruited through RRB during 2012 &2013, native of different places in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan. All the 5 men from Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan already absconded from this place, due to the above isolation of this place.

ARBT is the heart of Ghat section and treated as the most vulnerable and sensitive spot of the SKLR-SBHR Ghat section. Many landslides were taken place adjacent to ARBT in the past and the recent major land slide on 04.7.2013 was happened just 3 km from ARBT and also detected by the trackmen who was headquartered at ARBT. Being the landslide prone area, presence of sufficient No. of trackmen as well as contractors labors are kept at this place to meet with any emergency, but the administration not thought of providing the minimum facilities for the men who are risking their life to stay here. It is very strange to note that the first and foremost problem of the conveyance to reach at ARBT is yet to be thought by the administration. Since it is not a block station or a halt station, no train is stopping here. There is no road approach to this station and at this circumstance the trackmen and the contractor’s labours are forced to follow any of the following ways to reach as well as to get out of there.

Walk with luggage by head load through track, which have dark tunnels, very deep viaducts, narrow cuttings, poisonous snakes etc. for a distance of 8 KM in the 1 in 50 up gradient to YDK station or 10 km down direction towards SVGL. Their luggage includes rations; clothes etc and it will be very difficult task for a normal healthy person to do so regularly. After reaching SVGL or YDK again they have to request the station master to stop the train and there is no guarantee for that.

Try their luck to draw the attention of the Crew of the train to slow down and jump into the moving train which risks their life!

Wait at SBHR and watch for the movement of Motor Trolley towards YDK and if the trolley is having free space they will be accommodated. Most of the times, the trolley will not be permitted beyond SVGL due to the train services as well as the mood of the section controller and they have to come back to SBHR and again to try their luck in the next day.

To solve the problem, a decision to be made to stop all the up and down train to stop invariably at ARBT as well as all the stations of Ghat section so that the track men can have the facility to go to their home in rest and also to move out from ARBT in case of any sort of emergency.

M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):

It was explained that ARBT was a break halt station during MG period and closed for gauge conversion. The station is ready for commissioning. The papers for sanction are submitted to CRS/SBC and are awaiting sanction for opening the station. Hence, stoppage of train at ARBT can be examined only after commissioning of ARBT station.

GS/SWRMU has brought out the difficulties being faced by the employees in the SLR-SBHR Ghat Section of Mysore Division and mentioned that since there is no road access to any of the stations, steps may be taken to stop at least one Express Train during day time for at least one minute in all the stations. CTPM has explained that the stoppage of Express train should have the approval of Railway Board.

On the request of GS/SWRMU, CTPM has agreed to refer the matter to Railway Board.

M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)

ARBT station is yet to be opened. As and when the station is opened, this issue will be examined.

The Railway Board has allotted for 2012-13, 55 posts can be appointed on sports grounds, whereas only 6 are appointed and for 2013-14 also allotted 55 posts but so far no process for filling up of the same. Because of new candidates not appointing in sports quota, our Railway is not getting good places in sports since the old people only available. If the quota is not filled in the same year, it will lapse.

Sports people are also complaining that they are having 15.00 hours relief for practice but in some areas they are not at all relieving them to go for practice in the evening at 1500 hours for which Board’s instructions already available. Some remote places like CLR, the sportspersons are forcing because there is no any facility available in such a gnat places.

One or Two sportspersons (body building) have got award in the International Body Building event, such people should be encouraged by giving some award.

It was stated that all concerned are advised for relief of sports persons for practice. Railway Board’s policy of giving increments to sports persons for excellence in sports is being followed. For filling up the sports quota, necessary process is initiated.

During the discussions, GS/SWRMU has highlighted that 55 posts allotted under Sports quota to SW Railway has not been filled and moreover there is no provision to carry forward these posts for the ensuing year. Hence, he requested to initiate action within the stipulated time every year so that vacancies under Sports Quota can be filled up. Further, the sports persons should not be posted in shift duties especially in Commercial and Operating Departments as they are not able to go to practice.

CME mentioned that efforts will be made to fill up the quota. Posting of sports persons will be kept on watch. SWRMU is welcome to bring out any specific case for needful action.

M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)

It was mentioned that the notification will be issued shortly. Game-wise distribution has already been made. This year quota will be filled up and old quota for the previous years has to be treated as lapsed.

In this connection, President/SWRMU has pointed out that on earlier occasions, Vigilance Department have interfered in the selections and could not complete the selections in time and the quota allotted has been lapsed. Hence, he suggested that time limit has to be prescribed for completion of investigations by Vigilance Department in any selections.

In some of the cases TI’s who have got selected during decades before are still working as TI’s in other jurisdiction/areas. It is very crystal clear from the above letter that the divisional selection post of TI shall hold the post for the period of three years tenure plus one year with the approval of DRM. All the existing TI’s baring 2 or 3 individuals, majority of the TI’s are over continuing in the post beyond permissible period without going back to their cadre to satisfy the condition of cooling period from one tenure post of another tenure post. This is serious violation of the instructions of Railway Board/Hqrs. On account of this, the interested volunteers from SM’s cadre are frustrated due to non-repatriation of tenure completed TI’s.

Hence this union urges to repatriate tenure completed TI’s as per the above instructions.

M I N U T E S:

It may be noted that less number of Station Master are volunteering for TIs job, and the competent persons are not volunteering. It has become inevitable to retain the existing TIs to manage important day to day activities. However, a shift is being done within office to ensure that TIs are not kept in the same post more than the tenure.

However, GS pointed out that minimum cooling off period should be observed before allowing the employee to continue on the ex.cadre post as per the extant instructions of Railway Board.

On 5th April, 2013 Sri. Prabhu Shankar Kademani consulted doctor at Railway hospital for swelling in his both legs and also inability to walk& stand for long time. From 5th to 9th April he attended Railway hospital and he was treated with some medications but his problem was not resolved. In the evening of 09.04.13 he suddenly developed chest pain at home and it was a medical emergency so he could not go to Railway hospital and consulted the Spandana hospital, Saptapur, Dharwad which is nearer to his house. At Spandana hospital they advised for certain investigations and directed to consult Dr.Vivekanand Gajapati a Heart specialist (cardiologist) and gave some medication to relieve his chest pain. Further he consulted the Doctor and he had to undergo Angiography test at SDM Narayana Hurudalaya Dharwad on 23.04.2013 and had to undergo surgery as early as possible Further he was advised not to undertake travelling. Therefore, he underwent heart surgery and coronary artery bypass graft and was put in ICU. He became normal and was discharged on 31.05.2013.

In view of the above circumstances, the union urges to reimburse the expenses incurred by him immediately.

As the claims are genuine cases since they have they have gone due to the emergency, the claims can be paid to the employees without further delay. As Railway Board advised to see the reimbursement cases liberally and it is also discussed in the Railway board PNM with AIRF.

M I N U T E S:

Item No. 30/2014

APPOINTMENT ON COMPASSIONATE GROUNDS:

Some of the appointments on CG are regretted/delayed due to which the widow/wards of the deceased employee are suffering. Some of the cases are submitted for speedy disposal and justice:

(a) Sri. Mohammed Ghouse Adoni, S/o.Late.Mohammed Subhani, Khalasi/C&W dept/KOP expired on 10-3-1996 and Shri Mohammed Ghouse Adhoni was called for suitability test on 25-2-2008 and had passed for the post of Tech Gr.III in C&W Mechanical department, and was offered an appointment in fitter Tech Gr.III/C&W department vide letter no. H/P 268/IV/CA/C&W/Vol. IV/ dated: 5-5-2008. As there is a provision for appearing the examination two times Mohammed Ghouse Adoni requested for second chance. So that he can fare better in the second chance and accordingly the second chance was given by DRM/UBL vide Ltr No. H/P268/IV/10/07/110/MS dated: 24-2-2010. Examination/suitability test was held on 16-3-2010. After this there was no communication about the result of the second chance and Mohammed Ghouse Adhoni whenever approached the office he was advised that the result will be advised to you by postal address. So the party after the lapse of the year 2012 requested the administration to comply the old orders dated: 5/5/2008 as a Tech Gr.III in C&W dept, but the administration issued a letter that your appointment order No. dt: 5/5/2008 is not agreed by the competent authority vide Ltr No. H/P268/IV/C&W/Vol. 6/ dated 15-3-2013.

So this union urges to consider compassionate ground appointment with compassion.

M I N U T E S:

This subject could not be discussed in the meeting due to paucity of time.

(b) Late Sri. Chandrappa M. Potdar Pointsman A/SS/LIM expired on 21-4-2009 and his son Sri. Ravichandra C. graduated in B.Sc Electronics with first class applied for CG appointment and CPO/SWR considered his request of offer and advised him to appear for JE selection Vide Ltr No. SWR/P.268/05/12/UBL/RC/465 of 24-8-2012 and the examination was conducted 26-9-2012 and the results were declared on 8-10-2012 that has not qualified for the exam and Sri. Ravichandra C. applied for NTPC examination in the division on 22-10-2012 and the administration sent a call letter vide Ltr No. H/P 268/CS/CGA/Vol. VII/ of dated: 31-1-2013 and the examination was held on 20-2-2013 and results was declared that he had passed for Tech Gr.III, but to the sup rise a memorandum was issued on 15-4-2013 for the post of Safaiwala vide ltr No. Safaiwala/H/P564/VIII/Medical/Vol.IV of 15-5-2013. And the party approached the administration he was informed. Since he has passed Medical examination in C1 category. Even though he has passed for Group C he will be allotted Group D only.

As such this union urges to offer Ravichandra in Group c category.

M I N U T E S:

This subject could not be discussed in the meeting due to paucity of time.

(c) Sri. Mohammed H. Butler Loco Pilot/UBL was sent for PME on 31-5-2005 after conducting all the required Medical investigation it was detected that he had problem in his heart and the Central Hospital/UBL directed him to Rly Hospital/Perambur in Southern Railway .and the report was positive and he is not fit for Loco pilot post and the doctors at CH/UBL decided to make him unfit for drivers post on 26-4-2005. However unfit certificate was issued on 20-7-2005 no obvious reasons and after Medically decategorized Mohammed H. Butler had

C P O

Page 63 of 70

voluntarily retired seeking CG appointment to his son Mohammed Sharif but the administration did not consider his request taking that 5 years left over service should be there from the date of decategorization. Hence this union would like to highlight that the medical board had already taken a decision that the employee is unfit for driver’s post on 26.4-2005 but the unfit certificate was issued on 20-7-2005. The party is eligible for CG as he is having 5 years service from the date of decision taken that he is not taken to duty ie, 26-4-2005 and in this connection CMS has given a clear letter No. M/MD/84/Md. HB/12 dated : 2-8-2012 .

So this union urges to consider the Compassionate ground appointment.

(o) Case of Edwin, S/o Anthony.S., ex.Pointsman/Bageshapur MYS divn, missing from 30.10.2004 – All relevant documents including FIR have been submitted by the widow Smt. Manjula but appointment on compassionate grounds is yet to be issued. It is almost ten years the employee has gone missing. The family is finding it difficult to maintain with no other sources of income.

M I N U T E S:

This subject could not be discussed in the meeting due to paucity of time.

(p) Case of Mr. T.J.Nithin Sagar, S/o T.S.Jayappa, ex.Hd.TE/CTI/O/DVG MYS divn, expired on 30.10.2008. The employee left behind a daughter and a son who were minors. The widow Smt. K.P.Rajamma was informed to apply for appointment of her son Mr. T.J.Nithin Sagar on attaining majority ie. On or after 26.7.2012. Accordingly, when the widow has sought for appointment on compassionate grounds vide her appln dt. 30.7.2012, ie immediately on attaining majority by her son and without sending him for further education, in view of financial difficulties she was facing. But, her request has been rejected stating

Page 65 of 70

that her financial condition is satisfactory since she was working as Teacher in the Govt.Primary School. Her earnings as school teacher is not sufficing her needs to look after the education of her daughter and she has incurred loans for treatment of cancer. She herself is suffering from perennial health problems and spending nearly 2000/- per month for treatment. She has incurred loans to the tune of 11 lakhs for treatment and most of the settlement amounts has been used for clearing the same and now left with no cash on hand. She has also taken loan from SBI 12.5 lakhs for constructing a small house with one floor in outskirts of the city and being lone woman with 2 minor children, she has asked her cousin to stay in the first floor for her protection. She is not getting any income ( rent) from the house. Further there is no income from the ancestral property of uncultivated land.

As the widow is also aged and suffering from perennial health problems and the teacher job is not of permanent nature and the children are too young, there will be none to look after them in case of her death. Hence, the case is genuine since the finance condition is not satisfactory. Therefore the union urges to offer appointment on compassionate grounds immediately to Mr. Nithin Sagar, S/o Late Sri. T.S.Jayappa, ex.Hd.TE/CTI/O/DVG MYS divn.

M I N U T E S:

This subject could not be discussed in the meeting due to paucity of time.
