Implementation of Kamalesh Chandra Report on Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Department of Posts

Letter No.GDS/CHQ/67/01/2018

Date 20/06/2018

To

Sri Narendra Modi

Hon’ble Prime Minister

Government of India

New Delhi – 110001

Respected Sir,

Subject : Implementation of Kamalesh Chandra Report on Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Department of Posts.

We, on behalf of 2.60 lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks of India venture to approach your benign self with high hopes of causing activisation of the process. We are obliged to the union cabinet for approving the implementation of report. But we are sorry to submit that there is avoidable delay on the Part of the officials at Postal Directorate level In issuing orders. Even after two weeks of the cabinet decision not a single order has been processed and even the movement of the file illudes us. Probably, this is aimed at creating trust deficit.

We approach your high self, with all our respect, to cause the process of issuing orders to move a bit faster.

With profound regards,

Yours faithfully,

sd/-

(S.S. Mahadevaiah)
