Opinion of the Kerala Circle on the Date of Passing issue intimated to CHq

Dear comrades,

The Kerala Circle Secretariate held at Thrissur today, as per the instruction from the CHq, deliberated upon the issue as to whether the Date of Passing quota should be retained in the promotions to ITIs. The discussions were based on the overwhelming support of the members in Kerala in favour of retaining the same. The opinion of the Kerala Circle, which is in favour of retention of DoP, was communicated to the CHq. The note send to the CHq is reproduced here under:

“The question as to whether the Date of Passing for ITI promotion needs to be retained was posed to all the members of ITEF in Kerala during last few days. An overwhelming majority of the members [in excess of 75%] opined that the Date of Passing for ITIs should continue. Based on this, it was unanimously decided in the Secretariate to request the CHq to do the needful to incorporate the date of passing criteria in the proposed RR. It was also decided to remind the CHq that scrapping of DoP would adversely affect all those persons who came on Inter-Charge transfer as well as those Stenographers who were denied promotion to Gr.1 for last two years for want of RR as they would now be placed at par with TAs below all the EAs.”

Fraternally yours

GS
