Sub:- Convening the 47th National Council meeting — regarding.

Dear Sir,

The last meeting of the National Council (46th) was held on 15.5.2010. It is now more than 38 months that the Council met. As per the provisions of the Constitution of the National Council it ought to have been convened once in four months. The non-convening of the meeting has resulted in inordinate delay even in addressing the demands / issues / problems of the employees giving rise to discontent, frustration, anger and agitation.

We had send a few items for the inclusion in the agenda of the National Council vide our letter No. NC-JCM-2010/47th N.C. Meeting dated 17.1.2012. The passage of time without any meeting has resulted in certain issues gaining importance and the settlement of which cannot brook any delay.

We send herewith 12 such items for inclusion in the agenda as per the discussion with JS (E), some of the Staff Side members had a few days back.

This apart, the National Anomaly Committee which was set up in the wake of acceptance of 6th CPC recommendations is yet to conclude its business. There are issues in the agenda of National Anomaly Committee, which was not subjected to discussion even once. The MACP related matters have not also been brought back to the NAC to reach its logical conclusions.

We request you to kindly convene the National Council meeting, meeting of NAC on a date mutually convenient prefaralaly in the months of August itself.

Thanking you, 

Yours faithfully,
