Where are you Nostradamus? It's again a New Year ! Yes, it is the year 2012. Happy New year to all !

Saturday 31 December 2011 4 comments

Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous worldwide. Nostradamus enthusiasts have credited him with predicting numerous events in world history. Sceptics suggest that his reputation as a prophet is largely manufactured by modern-day supporters who fit his words to events that have either already occurred or are so imminent as to be inevitable, a process sometimes known as "retroactive clairvoyance". In particular, as is often claimed by books and films on the alleged Mayan Prophecy, that the world will end in December 2012, as per the predictions of Nostradamus. But, we don't think so.

       You may wonder, why are we writing this here in our first post of 2012, when rest of the world are busy with celebrations, rejoicing, bursting firecrackers, partying hard, enjoying their fullest. Definitely there is a reason. Let's describe it in details.

     The year 2012 is a leap year starting on Sunday. The United Nations General Assembly has designated 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives, highlighting the contribution of cooperatives to socio-economic development, in particular recognizing their impact on poverty reduction, employment generation and social integration. It has also been designated as the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All.

       But, at the same time, our departmental top level administrations and the Government are going to restructure our department in a destructive way. Definitely, now one can describe our future with 100% accuracy. If all these plans of the Department of Post are implemented  it can only have a catastrophic result. In that case, anybody may become a Nostradamus !

       Now, the question arises, will it be so easy for the department to introduce ''MNOP'', ''L1'', ''L2'' in the near future or will it be another futile effort from the Government? Will we win another prestigious fight in the shape of indefinite strike throughout the country leaded by NFPE, in the Department of Post? The answers of these questions will provide confirmation towards the fact, that the year 2012 will be a happier one or not.

        So, let's prepare ourselves and make the Postal Strike a historic success and make this year a 'real happy new year' !
     
        Everybody please support us in our endeavour to defeat the predictions of Postal Nostradamus. We wish you and your family, a fantastic new year, full of joy and happiness.

**** HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2012 ****

Abnormal delay in the publication of MTS result.

Friday 30 December 2011 0 comments

Due to some unknown reason, the publication of the result of MTS cadre is pending in our division. On inquiry from the Regional Office, we have been intimated that, there was a controversy regarding the clarification of the term ''Non - Matriculate''. So the matter has been referred from Regional Office to the Circle Office, for clarification. Our Circle Secretary, Postmen & MSE Union, Com. Nirmal Dey has taken some serious steps towards the finalization of the said result. He will meet CPMG on Monday (02.01.2012) to settle the issue without any further delay.
                  This kind of unnecessary delay due to the administrative indecision is unwanted . Hope, our Circle Secretary,  Postmen & MSE Union,Com. Nirmal Dey will do the needful as early as possible.

NOTE : As the present selection of the MTS will be done as per the seniority quota, so ALERT all senior GDS employees to be aware of the cheaters and frauds. DON'T GIVE BRIBE TO ANYBODY FOR PROMOTION. WE ARE KEEPING A STRICT VIGIL ALL TIME. TRY TO PREVENT FRAUD IN THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS.

Christmas and Postage Stamps - A commemorative journey through Past and Present ....

Sunday 25 December 2011 0 comments

With the festive season well and truly upon us, we thought it would be a merry idea to spruce up the occasion with a post on the role of postage stamps throughout the world on the eve of Christmas.


             The first ever postage stamp that can somewhat be associated with Christmas was published by the Postal Department of Canada in 1898. Although, according to many this wasn't exactly what is known as 'Christmas Stamp'. The reason put forward was, the stamp didn't have any picture or art related to Christmas but merely a  'XMAS 1898' printed on it.


           In 1971, two postage stamps published by America took the world by surprise. It was a painting by the Italian painter of the Renaissance, Giorgione, in about 1500. It is displayed in the National Gallery of Art of Washington, D.C., United States.


               From then onwards, it became a practice to publish Christmas stamps, i.e., stamps having a Christmas flavour every year. These stamps encompassed everything related to Christmas. Rituals that are performed, the celebration that follows, the festive binge, prayer, church, Santa Claus, Christmas Tree and others have all found their place. The arrival of Jesus Christ is picturised from different angles and views. Sometimes as a new born with a halo around him and in others the Holy Family, Jesus with Mother Mary and Father Joseph. The stamps are an attempt to celebrate the festive spirit, that also get 'stamped' on the pages of history !



               In 1816, the famous Christian Carol, "Silent Night, Holy Night" were written in Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria, by the priest Father Joseph Mohr. The carol was first performed in St. Nicholas Church in Austria, on December 24, 1818. Today the Carol has been translated in almost all the languages and is sung in all it's glory all over the world.


The picturisation of the carol can be seen in the three postage stamps published by New Zealand Postal Department in 1985.

               In 1977, a postage stamp published in Australia showed Santa Claus riding a surfboard !!


This might sound a bit strange, as the image of Santa embedded in our mind is that him riding a sleigh, pulled by eight reindeer, gliding over the snowy slopes of North Pole. But to be true, it is quite apt from Australia's perspective. While most of the world will shiver in cold during Christmas, Australia will have bright and sunny summer due to different geographical position.

Sub: Request for inclusion of demand of restoration of KVP, MIS Bonus & Agents' Commssion.

Dear Comrade,
This is to inform you that after consistent efforts for the last few years, the SAS agents of West Bengal has shaped a union of their own. The initiative is now receiving tremendous support from all agents after the recent attack on them, slashing down their commission by half, and on KVP & MIS. As West Bengal attracts the highest investment in small savings, agents here are worst sufferers.
Recently, they have organised a State level convention at Moulali Yuva Kendra in Kolkata, where apart from agents from all divisions of West Bengal, representatives attended from other circles also. They have formed a Preparatory Committee for holding State Conference and within January 2012, all district (divisional level) conferences are going to be held. A decision has also been taken to write to all MPs with the request to place their issue in the Parliament. Com. Basudeb Acharya has already assured to put up the issue in Parliament during this session. Gradually, their organisation (All India Small Savings Agents Association) are getting stronger momentum. In the State Convention, Com. Tapan Dasgupta, President, CGCC, and Com. Pijush Roy, General Secretary, CGCC, West Bengal were present by their invitation.
We are having close liaison with them and trying to contribute in their initiative. We have also announced a date (23.12.2011) to hold demonstration at all divisional headquarters with their presence and participation. A resolution demanding restoration of KVP, Bonus of MIS and agent commission at the earlier rate will be sent to the Prime Minister, Finance Minister, Minister of Communication & IT and DG(Posts) from the demonstration.
Under this situation, the Postal Circle Unions of West Bengal Circle request that considering the graveness of the attack on Small Savings and the agents who actually use to bring the business to post offices, this issue may be included in the strike charter of demands for the indefinite strike to be commenced from 17th January 2012. We also request you to take suitable organisational steps so that SAS agents in all circles get united in this way and form their organisations.
Comradely yours,

Monday 19 December 2011 0 comments

Dear Comrades,after the abolition of the KVP & 5% BONUS on the maturity value of MIS A/Cs, now it is a real challenge for us to keep the volume of our small savings business intact. So all our members are hereby requested to keep a good co-operative understanding with the SAS & MPKBY agents ( our Circle Union also instructed us in this regard ) to keep / enhance the small savings business in future. Because, now its a big challenge for us to save our department from the future crisis. Definitely the volume of the Small Savings business will matter in future . So, members are requested to take the challenge and keep our small savings business intact.

AGAIN MAOIST ATTACK ON POSTAL EMPLOYEE.

Wednesday 14 December 2011 0 comments

After the death of Com. Asit Mandal (GDS BPM) due to Maoist attack earlier, again our one GDS employee was attacked by some armed hooligans (they described them as Maoist) on Monday. Namely Sri Manas Mahapatra, GDS BPM KUKAI B.O.,via Keshiary SO under Contai Dn.,was brutally beaten by a group of armed hooligans (probably Maoist) and they also looted his valuables including money. The group forcefully entered his house & ransacked everything there. The terror comes to an end with huge maoist threat. We strongly condemn this kind of armed attack on our innocent employees.

Sorry Dear, you have missed it again! Postman Exam's revised result published today.

Tuesday 13 December 2011 0 comments

The result of the last Postman Examination (dated 20.11.2011) was published by the divisional administration few days ago. But, there was an error in the seniority quota selection.

After some days, the result of the seniority quota had been cancelled and one review DPC held on 08.12.2011; today the revised result has been published with the new schedule of training from 15th December 2011 to 24th December. Within this period, some opportunist employees of this division were trying to misguide the successful candidates in a motivated way, only to fulfil there fraudulent intentions. But, today the total drama comes to an end with the publication of the revised and rectified result. So, once again very bad luck (!) for those bad elements ! Again, we have proved that, no one can conceal the truth . So dear, better luck next time. We are keeping close watch on all these miscreants.

Monday 12 December 2011 0 comments

The first ''Technology Class'' has been organized at Howrah H.O. on 11.12.2011 ( Sunday ) with huge response from the delegates attending the same. Among the 20 enlisted delegates, 2 ladies were absent due to some important family matters. The following 18 delegates attended the said class with huge response and enthusiasm ; and also followed all the sessions with attention. We have maintained our announced schedule of training with proper time frame. Our two faculties Sri Jayanta Chanda, System Administrator, Howrah Division and Sri Bikash Sahoo, System Administrator, Howrah Division, was excellent in their defined classes. They also supplied some important study and utility materials, copies to the trainees specially designed by them for this class. The total atmosphere was very nice and encouraging . Com.
