The Controller,

Sub: Deputing BARC personnel for Election Duty reg.

Sir,

          With reference to the above subject this Union had submitted a representation dated 16/07/2019 and unfortunately no constructive solution is arrived from the Department yet. Many employees are deprived of eligible compensation/compensatory off for their Election duty performance. We have already brought to your notice that DoPT has issued necessary orders in the above cited circumstances.

 It is understood that concerned authority of Election Commission has approached BARC administration to relieve BARC personnel for Election Duty for the upcoming Vidhansabha election of Maharashtra State.

Further we would like to invite your attention that in the previous Loksabha election only Non-Gazetted staffs were deputed for election duty from BARC. It’s also evident that many illiterate and unwell staff members were compelled to perform duty which was beyond the scope of their capacity. In other Departments both Gazetted and Non-Gazetted staff were deputed for election duty. The BARC administration has not resolved the earlier request of staff members for granting   compensation/Compensatory off for their performed duty. Hence the employees are unenthusiastic to carry out Election duty any more.

          In the light of above we request your good office to depute both Gazetted and Non-Gazetted staff for election duty in the forthcoming assembly election also approve the compensation/compensatory off for the previous performance.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully

A. Sreedharan

(Gen. Secretary)
