Sub: Settlement of Special Cash Package in lieu of LTC fare regarding.
 
Sir,
    With reference to the above mentioned circular the validity of the scheme of special cash package in lieu of LTC fare expires on 31.03.2021 and accordingly all LTC clash claims should have to be settled and report need to be send the Government before 31.03.2021. Further a circular stated that all officers and employees are requested to submit their cash claims to the respective establishment on or before 05.03.2021.  In this regard we would like to state that the clarification dated 16.02.2021 issued by Ministry of Finance ensure that the claims can be submitted up to 31.03.2021. It is appreciated the intention of the circular to encourage the employees to submit their claims those who have completed the process of purchase. This will help to avoid last moment rush and further delay.
   However the Union would like to request you to ensure that the claims which are submitting up to 31.03.2021 should be allowed.

Thanking you

Sub: Allowing transport allowance to the employees who reported duty when the BARC buses were not in service during lockdown period.
 
Sir,
    The offices of BARC started functioning with 100% capacity from the month of September 2020. However the transport services were not available to the employees till 14th September 2020. During the lockdown period as per the roaster prepared employees are asked to attend offices with their own arrangement of transport as the BARC was not extended transport facilities for employees. The employees availing BARC transport facility prior to lockdown period and attended office during the above period are not paid either Transport Allowance or transport facility. Such employees are eligible to get the Transport Allowance as per the Government order as they are not availed the Government facility.
   It is therefore request you to give necessary instructions to Account Division to pay Transport allowance to such employees.

Thanking you
Yours faithfully

Regarding Allotment of Departmental Quarters.

AU/16/DCSEM/2020/38
To    
The Director,
DCSEM

Sub: Regarding Allotment of Departmental Quarters.
Sir,
 With reference to the above subject we may invite your kind attention that the allotment schedule has been put on hold in the month of March 2020 due to lockdown and the last schedule of the allotment year 2019-2020   could not be   carried out. Now the employees are joined duty except few and are waiting for resuming the allotment. In this regard this Union would like to put forward few suggestions as follows.
1.    The March schedule of the allotment year 2019-2020 to be carried out immediately viz. In the month of October 2020.
2.    All flats available as on today should be displayed / made available for the above schedule.
3.    It is found that many flats are provisionally allotted but actual procession has not handed over to the allottees. In these cases some of them are holding two flats at a time for a long duration. This is jeopardizing the chances of needy employees who are waiting for their turn of allotment.
4.    Hence a data may please be provided to the undersigned stating that the date of allotment (provisional), current status of flat and expected date of completion of work.
5.    Kindly finalised the priority list of 2020-2021 incorporating the promotion cases of preceding year.
It will be highly appreciated if you could arrange a personnel hearing with the union at the earliest.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Respected Sir,
With reference to the above subject we would like to bring your kind attention to the folloing points.
1.    The BARC Administration has issued a circular on 7th October2020 asking  all employees to  join duty with immediate effect  irrespective of their level pay or grade.
2.    The DOPT has converyed  the decision   through  its OM  F No 11013/9/2014-Estt.A.III  dated 7th October 2020  that

a)The Government Servants at the level of Under Secretary and above to attend office on all working days.
b) As regards the Government Servants below the level of Under Secretary, atleast 50% of attendance is to be ensured. The Heads of Department may mandate attendance of more than 50%, if required in public interest, while strictly ensuring that the social distancing is maintained under all circumstances.
f)Persons with disabilities and preganant women  employees should continue to wprk from home till further orders.

3.     Yesterday  i.e. on 7th October 2020  there was a serious interaction with the  Residence welfare       Associations of   Anushaktinagar in which Officials from BMC,Head Medical Division,Chief Security Officer DCSEM and Officials from DCSEM participated. Dr. Nowni in-charge of COVID-19 control of ME ward expressed his concern on increasing the cases in Anushaktinagar.He exhibited the data that out of 10 lakh population of ME ward only 50,000 contributes from Anushaktinagar whereas 25% of the total infection cases are reported  from Anushaktinagar.


4.    The Government of Maharashtra has issued guidelines to open the Hotels/Easteries with 50% of strength effective from  5th October 2020. Accordingly all the Departmental  Canteen/tea Pantries  to be operational with immediate effect. It is further request to ensure canteen facility to the employees who are attending Round the clock shift.
5.    The Public transport is not operational in its required strength and hence the  employees are  struggling to commute residence to office and back through heavy traffic. Considering this  the BARC should allow time relaxation to the employees who are attending office. Some other Units in Mumbai are  already following it.  
6.    As mentioned in the above cited OM  of DOPT,  persons with disabilities and pregnant women should allow work from Home.
7.    The Employees are very much concerned on non-payment of Transport Allowance since last 5 months and  the same may please be  persuedat DAE so that the TA can be released in this month.

In this circumstances this Union request you to put on hold the circular issued by the BARC    Administation  and a revised order in line with DOPT OM may be issued. Further all the request made in this letter may please be considered.

It will be highly appreciated if you could arrange a meeting with the Union to discuss the above issues at the earliest.

Relaxation on duty time

 
                                                                                                   23/09/2020                                                

                RELAXATION ON DUTY HOURS.
Dear colleagues,                            
The Union, time and again was requesting the higher officials of BARC that relaxation should be allowed on working hours to the employees during this lockdown period. The public transport system is not restored to commute the employees who stay at faraway places. The suffering on wearing masks continuously for 12 to 13 hours is intolerable and it causes other diseases. We have appealed the Administration, instead of issuing circulars it should be managed through BOOST so that relaxation on duty hours is feasible.
The above suggestion is agreed to consider   and the employees can avail the relaxation wherever necessary. In other words shortfall of working hours   will not be caused to blocking of CL. 

 
                                                                                      A.Sreedharan

                                                                             On behalf of Managing committee
                                                                                       BARC UNION
