Sub: Exemption of Re-employed Ex-Servicemen from
LR
This
is regarding the some measures that are required to be ensured to upkeep the welfare of the Ex service man
who are appointed in our department as Postal Assistants applicable quota .
The reemployed ex service man area
bestowed with various concession in the serviced matter on their reemployment
in the civilian sides by the nodal ministry meant for their welfare.; The first
and fore most is that they should be posted to a place in the new employment in
and around the native place in order to join the family from whom they have
been kept off while serving in the defense.
Nevertheless most of head of the division are not considering this aspect
and instead treat them on par with the
other recruits of the year in according
the preference to which they are due and posting them to faraway places .
The other measure or even an ordeal to which they are subjected
to as Postal Assistants is that they are assigned LR ship while they come in
the range of eligibility and in turn along with the fellow recruit of the year
as per the gradation list. It is really a matter of concern that the ex-servicemen
are around 45 to 50 years old at the time of reemployment and cannot be treated
as in the way of young fellow recruits. They are deputed to distance place by
virtue of being of LR and sometimes their elevation to operative post are delayed
for want to junior official in the gradation list .The ex service man who have
served in the defense of nation in most remote and inhospitable places along
the border do really deserve a solace on their reemployment when the age and
health are not their side to undertake the strain of excessive travel etc.
We therefore fervently request you to kindly reiterate all
head of the divisions on the posting priority of Ex service man as per the guideline
of nodal ministry and also exempt the reemployed ex service man of more than 45
years of age from becoming LR PA as in the same way a TBOP / BCR official are
exempted from becoming LR in the event of their becoming junior in any new unit
as result of Rule 38 transfers. As the strength of ex servicemen are very
meager in any division barring them from becoming LR will not affect the
purpose.
Yours Sincerely,
(D Kishan Rao)
