GIST OF DISCUSSION HELD WITH CPMG DURING FAST PROGRAMME YESTERDAY:

At the beginning of the program there was resistance by the police not to allow the agitators in the premises. We have made it clear to them that the lapses on the part of the administration that the 16th Feb,2012 notice of the union was yet to be acknowledged and 22nd Feb,2012 notice was answered in a negative sense which forced such agitation.             The FAST was commenced at 1030 am and was well attended by committed comrades about 140 members. Red salute to all of them and those who were instrumental for the success. GIST OF DISCUSSION: 1. Contributory negligence and harassment of staff: After a long discussion it was assured by the CPMG that there shall not be any miscarriage of justice and appeals/petitions will be considered objectively and justifiably. It was reiterated that any discussion on disciplinary matter would be in contravention of rules. 2. Transfer policy: Instructions to allow transfers within Bangalore will be issued. Madam asserted that she is very liberal in her approach to consider cases of transfers and it was assured that Request register is being maintained at circle level correctly and assured to adhere to the instructions on the subject. On other issues it is decided to get response of the administration in black and white. 3. Compassionate appointment to GDS wards: It was agreed to defer the any such move till directorate instructions are received. We too have to bring pressure at CHQ level to expedite it. 4.
