Sir/madam,
                        Subject : Agitation in Gujarat state - reg  
               
          Please refer to past correspondence on the subject.
2.​       It is unfortunate to state that in spite of best possible efforts by Association to smoothen the administration and restore normalcy, no official response is received from the administration and as a result, the office work in almost entire Gujarat state covering Ahmedabad and Vadodara Zone is held up since last 15 days due to untimely and unwarranted transfer and posting policy proposed by the Chief Commissioner, CCE, Ahmedabad in place of  accepted policy which was in force. This new policy was proposed without any sound justification and at a time when Hon’ble FM is encouraging us to be ready for GST regime and when restructuring is due shortly.  
 
3.      Due to agitation, almost entire staff of approx. 2,000 officers is in the aggrieved mood and thereby adversely  impacting day-to-day work; every day demonstrations are made at all offices in scorching heat of 45 `C  including observance of fast by 5 officers in each Commissionerate and lunch-hour demonstrations and wearing of black ribbons as a mark of protest to unfair policy.
 
4.        It is noticed that this valuable loss of office hours and manpower wastage and its revenue implication seems to have no importance to the authorities and this national loss continues  unchecked.
 
5.          We feel ashamed that such type of arbitrary policies are proposed by the senior officers without understanding the basic mantra of management of   differentiation, i.e. to reward the performers and to punish the laggards - and all are treated on equal footing and thereby causing huge loss to the organization itself as the performers feel punished for their no fault. The need of modern and fresh mindset is requested at this juncture to look into the old issues affecting public governance in our country.
 
6.            You must be aware that new academic year has already started and at this stage, almost all officers have paid fees of their children at the present place of posting. Copies of the fee receipts were submitted earlier for ready reference.
 
7.            In view of above factual position, as no written policy stand is conveyed till date, we request to postpone the annual general transfer for the present year and issue suitable instructions for the same latest by 10.06.2011, failing which we shall have no option but to  intensify agitation.
               Your personal attention, considerate and mature approach and prompt necessary action in the matter is requested.
                   Thanking you,
                ​   Yours faithfully,
 
Secretary                                                                                              Secretary
AICEIA                                                                                                  AIACEGO
