Shri Rajnath Singh inaugurates Web Portal “Bharat ke Veer”

Portal enables people to contribute towards family of martyrs

The Union Home Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh inaugurated the web portal and mobile application named “Bharat ke Veer” on the occasion of Valour Day of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) here today. The portal is an IT based platform, with an objective to enable willing donors to contribute towards the family of a braveheart who sacrificed his/her life in line of duty. The amount so donated will be credited to the account of ‘Next of Kin’ of those Central Armed Police Force/Central Para Military Force soldiers. The actor Shri Akshay Kumar was the Guest of Honour during the function.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Rajnath Singh said that he pays heartfelt tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the safety of nation. He said that each moment of lives of CRPF and CAPF personnel is a test of their courage and bravery. He said that a bullet can hit a soldier physically, but no bullet can defeat the courage and motivation of a soldier. The bravery of CRPF commandant, Chetan Cheetah is an example of it who survived 9 bullets, Shri Rajanth Singh added.

The Union Home Minister thanked the actor Shri Akshay Kumar for contributing his ideas to the launch of Web Portal “Bharat ke Veer”. He said that he is satisfied that this portal will be successful and will act as a motivation to the brave soldiers. He said that Shri Akshay Kumar is a hero for people, but Shri Akshay Kumar’s real heros are the soldiers of Paramilitary Forces. Shri Rajnath Singh appealed to the nation to visit the web portal and contribute maximum towards the corpus. The Union Home Minister said that CRPF has a multi-dimensional role to play and he is proud of their bravery and valour. He also said that the martyr’s family should get a support of minimum Rs one crore and the Government would meet the gaps, if any. He said that 45-50% decline in the LWE incidents, 75% decline in incidents in North-East and decline in terror-incidents in Jammu and Kashmir during the last three years is the contribution of the Forces.

The Secretary (Home), Shri Rajiv Mehrishi also thanked actor Shri Akshay Kumar for conceptualizing the idea of this portal and making his contribution to the martyrs’ families.

Speaking on the occasion, actor Shri Akshay Kumar said that this web portal has been designed in a record time of just two and a half months. He said that it will act as a support to the families of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the nation. He said that this will act as a platform for those who want to contribute to the families of the bravehearts, but are not aware of the channel. He thanked the Ministry of Home Affairs for working towards launching this portal

The site “Bharat ke Veer” will be available on web portal as well as mobile application. This domain allows anyone to financially support the bravehearts of his choice or towards the “Bharat Ke Veer” corpus. This website is technically supported by National Informatics Centre (NIC) and powered by State Bank of India. To ensure maximum coverage, a cap of 15 lakh rupees is imposed and the donors would be alerted if the amount exceeds, so that they can choose to divert part of the donation to another braveheart account or to the “Bharat Ke Veer” corpus. “Bharat Ke Veer” corpus would be managed by a committee made up of eminent persons of repute and senior Government officials, who would decide to disburse the fund equitably to the braveheart’s family on need basis.

On the occasion, the Home Minister awarded Police Medal for Gallantry to the CRPF personnel (including posthumously) on the occasion of Valour Day today. The Valour Day is celebrated in remembrance of an act of unparalleled bravery displayed by a small contingent of CRPF personnel, pitted against a full-fledged infantry brigade of Pakistani Army, trying to overrun their post, at Sardar Post, Rann of Kutch, Gujarat on April 09, 1965. They not only defeated the Pakistani brigade but also killed 34 Pakistani soldiers and captured 4 of them alive. The CRPF successfully defended the post till the arrival of reinforcements. The saga of valour of Sardar Post is a rich source of inspiration to the officers and men of CRPF and befittingly 9th April is observed as the “Valour Day”.

Shri Parameswaran Iyer, Secretary, Drinking Water and Sanitation, Shri Sudeep Lakhtakia, DG (Off.), CRPF, Shri Rajiv Jain, Director, IB, DGs of CAPFs and other senior officers were also present on the occasion.

Non-Payment of Over Time Allowance to the staff working on Track Machines on south East Central Railway

Non-Payment of Over Time Allowance to the staff working on Track Machines on south East Central Railway

No.I/8/Part I

Dated: 10-04-2017

The Secretary (E)
Railway Board
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Non-Payment of Over Time Allowance to the staff working on Track Machines on south East Central Railway-Reg.

Ref: (i) CPO,SEC Rly’s letter No.P-HQ/RUL/118/2/6234 dated 24/25-02-2015 & P-HQ/RUL/118/2/767 dated  15-05-2015.
(ii) Railway Board’s Letter No.E(LL)/98/HER/9 dated 09-04-2015.
(iii) NFIR’s letter No.I/8/Part I dated 06/06/2016
(iv) Railway Board’s letter No.98/E(LL)/HER/9 dated 24/03/2017.

Federation is disappointed to note the contents of Railway Board’s letter dated 24-03-2017 wherein Board has clarified to the GM (P)/S.E.C. Railway that the principle of averaging for payment of OT Allowance to the Track Machine Staff to be given effect from 10-07-2013, the date of issuance of Board’s letter. Federation is constrained to state that the Board has completely ignored the rule position contained in letter dated 06-07-2000, 10-07-2016 and issued wrong clarification,Federation also feels sad to convey that mere copy has been endorsed to NFIR, without mentioning NFIR’s reference to Railway Board.

So far as clarification issued by Board is concerned, the Federation does not agree with the same in the light of the following facts/merits.

i) The Railway Board vide letter No.E(LL)98-HER/9 dated 06-07-2000 had introduced duty roster in respect of Staff working on Track Machines and laid down rostered hours of work for three weeks at a stretch followed by rest for a continuous period of one week at the Headquarters in consultation with the Ministry of Labour. These instructions further stipulated that the individuals shall not be employed for more than 12 hours on any day and in respect of Overtime payment, the staff will be governed by the extant instructions under HOER i.e. principle of averaging.

ii) subsequently Railway Board vide letters dated 09-09-2009 & 30-10-2012 had conveyed continuance of three weeks roster at a stretch followed by continuous rest of one week at the Headquarters (valid upto September,2015).

iii) On raising the issue relating to non-payment of Overtime to the Track Machine Staff working on Zones by the NFIR at Board’s level, Railway Board vide letter dated 10-07-2013 had again issued instructions that the Track machine Staff when deployed for 3 Weeks continuously followed by one week rest, the payment of overtime be regulated by the principle of averaging on four weekly basis whenever hours exceed 192 hours and keeping in view the provisions of Board’s letter dated 11-06-1974.

iv) Railway Board vide letter dated 16-06-2016 has again reiterated for implementation of instructions envisaged in Board’s letter dated 6-7-2000.

v) It needs to be appreciated that Board’s instructions dated 06-07-2000 have neither been modified nor superseded. Therefore, Payment of Overtime to the Staff working on Track Machines is required to be regulated in terms of Board’s instructions dated 06-07-2000 from that date and not from the date of issue of Board’s letter dated 10-07-2013.

The facts mentioned above clearly establish the entitlement of overtime payment with effect from 06-07-2000 and not prospectively. Accordingly, the Track Machine Staff of south East Central Railway who have been denied Overtime payment from August 2010 by the zonal Railway due to mis-interpretation of Rules are rightly entitled from August, 2010.

NFIR, therefore, requests the Railway Board to review its clarification dated 24-03-2017 and issue fresh clarification to the Zonal Railways in general and south East Central Railway in particular for implementing instructions dated 06-07-2000 and allowing overtime payment retrospectively. A copy of the instructions issued may be endorsed to the Federation.

Yours faithfully,

(Dr.M.Raghavaiah)

General Secretary.

Grant of Children Education Allowance to Mentally Disabled

Need relaxation for third child for Children Education Allowance – NFIR

Grant of Children Education Allowance to mentally disabled to two children in case of first child beins totally mentally disabled 

No.I/13 (a)

Dated: 10/04/2017

The secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,
Sub: Grant of Children Education Allowance to mentally disabled to two children in case of first child beins totally mentally disabled – reg.

Ref: Railway Board’s letter No.E(W)2014/ED-2/4 dated 24/09/2014 and E(W)2008/ED-2/4 dated 0/06/2015.

Federation has been receiving grievances from those Railway employees who unfortunately have been graced with 1st child (out of three living children) being mentally disabled/retarded and is unable to receive education even at a school meant for the differently abled children due to physical/mental infirmity. Federation feels disappointed to note that the extant instructions contained in Board’s letter dated 24/09/2014 & O1/06/2015, cited under reference, do not cover the genuine problems faced by the Railway employees, consequently, payment of Children Education Allowance to the third ward is denied on the plea that the CEA/Hostel subsidy shall be admissible only to the eldest two surviving children.

Federation also feels that the genuineness of these types of cases has not been brought to the notice of Government (DoP&T, MoF), for consideration. Federation feels that the condition for reimbursement of Children Education Allowance/Hostel subsidy imposed by the DoP&T needs to be reviewed and relaxed suitably so that any two children out of three can become eligible for CEA and Hostel subsidy in those cases where one of three being differently abled and cannot receive education under any circumstances.

NFIR, therefore, requests the Railway Board to kindly make out proper case with justification and refer the matter to the DoP&T for granting relaxation of the condition so that payment of Children Education Allowance/Hostel subsidy is ensured to two school/college going children out of three – one of whom being totally disabled. A copy of the proposal sent to the DoP&T may kindly be provided to the Federation for taking up the issue at Government’s level.

Yours faithfully,
