Shri Manjunath Hubballi, Circle Secretary, Karnataka Circle has presented power point presentation very attractively and everybody in the meeting has appreciated his efforts and performance. Shri Manjunath told that, Inspector Posts and Assistant Superintendents Posts are the supervisors and they should get more pay than the supervising staff.    

Shri Roop Chand, Ex-GS and President Delhi Circle has explained the promotional avenues available to the Inspector Posts cadre and then bequeathed an example of long span of promotions in the cadre and its stagnation etc. During the course of discussions, the issue of merger of ASP cadre was also discussed in detailed and Hon’ble Chairman and his team have directed us to pursue the issue with Department and outcome should be reported to them by separate note.  

Shri S.S. Kulkarni, Ex-CHQ Treasurer and Ex-Circle Secretary, Maharashtra Circle and Shri M. S. Ahirrao, President Maharashtra Circle has also taken active part in the discussion. Both the members have brought to the notice of Hon'ble Chairman that, Inspectors recruited through Direct Recruit quota in Department of Posts through SSC are quitting department immediately due to less Grade Pay than the Inspectors in other Central Govt. departments and therefore large number of posts of Inspectors in the department are  lying vacant for years together. 

The meeting was ended with the thanks to chair.
