Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad.

Sub: – Poor sanitation conditions - Request for redressal – Regarding.

Sir,

The Civil Audit Association is really pained to bring the following problem to your notice.

The staff working in this Office have no access to hygienic toilets/urinals which we feel a violation to our basic human rights. It is extremely sad that there is a constant fear about ‘answering the call of nature’ in the office.

The toilets in our office lack basic amenities,  such as water for flushing toilets/urinals; water for washing hands after using toilets/urinals; working flushes in toilets/urinals; mugs in toilets; liquid soap dispensers for washing hands; litterbins for proper garbage disposal; bathroom fresheners, etc.  Storing of water in open drums has become haven for mosquitoes and other insects which are prime cause for all infections.

Apart from this, most of the toilets in our office always emanate unbearable stench and making it hard to use them.  Many of the officials try to avoid using such poorly maintained toilets and contracting many stomach related dieses.

  

The staff working near the toilets is finding it hard to concentrate on their work because of the unbearable stench emanating from the toilets.  They either use incense sticks or shielding their noses to counter the offensive smell but all to no avail and they are only prone to Malaria, Chikungunya, etc.  They feel very much embarrassed and humiliated working in these disgusting conditions.  The Branch Officers, majority of whose rooms are neighbouring to toilets, in fact are the worst hit by such a condition.

The toilets are being regularly cleaned by the Safaiwalas but they are providing only brief respite.  Mere usage of disinfectants does not address the problem permanently.

This issue was brought to your notice several times in the past also.  However, the pathetic and unhygienic conditions continue.  The fact is that only a healthy person can contributes to the betterment of society and to the organisation.

Sir, we want nothing more than common toilets with basic amenities and hygienic conditions, just because, ‘answering the call of nature’ is common to every human being irrespective his/her hierarchical status.  Sir, here our intention is only to bring the fact to your kind notice but not to annoy you.

In view of this, I am directed to request you to take necessary arrangements to provide all basic amenities in the toilets without any delay and address the problem in a comprehensive manner through resolute action.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Implementation of five years transfer policy.

Dear Members!

The letter addressed to The Prl.AG(CA) on "Implementation of five years transfer policy" is posted here for the information of members please.

Yours Rahul.

To

The Principal Accountant General (Civil Audit),

Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad.

Sub: – Implementation of five years transfer policy - Request – Reg.

Sir,

I am directed to state that many officers (SAOs/AOs/AAOs/Ars) in the offices of the Principal Accountant General (CA) and the Accountant General (C&RA) are continuing in the same section or same seat for quite a long time and some persons are even continuing since their appointment. 

It had been accepted by the official side that a review would be conducted to transfer the persons continuing in the same wing for over five years.  Such review was not conducted effectively and many persons are still being continued in the same seat / section / wing over a decade.  It can be found that many sections are not respecting the posting orders issued by the respective Administration Sections.

Due to this long standing, the persons occupying these positions have developed prejudices against many and they are also not able to do things differently / innovatively.  How efficient the person may be, in a dynamic

Organization like ours, continuance of same persons in same position for decades together works as antithesis to dynamism and any amount of administrative difficulties may not justify such stagnant positions.

Therefore, I am directed to request you to kindly conduct effective review of postings of all cadres and implement the five years transfer policy at the earliest in its true spirit.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Harassment, humiliation and ill treatment of Audit Employees by Shri K.Markandeya Sarma, CAre Taker at the main gate - Request for taking immediate action7

Dear Members!

The letter addressed to The Prl.AG(CA) on "Harassment, humiliation and ill treatment of Audit Employees by Shri K.Markandeya Sarma, CAre Taker at the main gate" is posted here for the information of members please.

Yours Rahul.

03-03-2010

To

The Principal Accountant General (CA),

Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad.

Sub: Harassment, humiliation and ill treatment of Audit Employees by Shri K.Markandeya Sarma, Care Taker at the main gate – Request for taking immediate action – Regarding.

Sir,

I am directed to enclose a photocopy of the complaint dated 03-02-2010 submitted by Shri T.Padma Rao, State President of “Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Castes Welfare Association, Hyderabad” addressed to the Principal Accountant General (A&E), which is self-explanatory.

In this connection, I am to submit that several oral complaints have also been received by this Association regarding the high-handed behaviour of the said Care Taker particularly with Audit personnel. It has also come to the notice of this Association that the said Care Taker is claiming to be an Ex-service man and threatening the audit staff, in particular.

Further, it was observed that visitors either friends or relatives of this Office staff are stopped at the out gate itself without allowing them to enter the reception room to obtain visitors pass.  On certain occasions the Care Taker is summoning the audit staff to the reception room to identify the visitors so as to allow them to enter the Office.  This is causing a lot of inconvenience to the audit staff as well as the visitors.

In this connection, it is not out of context to mention that a large number of outsiders are entering the office right under the nose of the Care Taker and having their lunch in the Departmental Canteen thereby depriving the staff of AG’s Office of the Canteen facility.

In view of the facts represented above, I kindly request the Principal Accountant General (Civil Audit) to intervene in the matter and protect the audit members from the autocratic behaviour of Shri K.Markandeya Sarma, Care Taker.

Thanking You,

Yours faithfully,

Filling up of vacancies.

Dear Members!

The letter addressed to The CAG of India on filling up of vacancies is posted here for the information of members please.

Yours Rahul.

11-02-2010

To

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India,

New Delhi.

Sub: Filling up of vacancies–Request–Regarding.

Sir,

I am directed to bring the following few lines for your kind consideration and early sympathetic action.

The staff position in the cadres of Sr.Ar./Ar./Steno/DEO/Clerk/Group-D in the Office of the Principal Accountant General (Civil Audit), Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad is as follows, against which the men-in-position indicated is very less.

Cadre	Sanctioned Strength	Men - in - Position	Vacancies	Percentage of vacancies
Sr.Auditor / Auditor	815	381	434	53.25
Stenographer	28	12	16	57.14
DEO	30	0	30	100.00
Clerk	146	26	120	82.19
Group-D	90	57	33	36.67

As can be seen from the above, there are large number of vacancies in all the cadres. However, the arrears in work are not being exhibited alarmingly.  The Administration is exerting undue pressure on the existing staff so as to keep the ball rolling.  The routine and redundant work has not been streamlined and is further increasing the workload.  This undue pressure is having a negative effect on the physical health and quality of performance of the staff.

The existing Senior Auditors / Auditors are being denied an opportunity of field duties due to inadequate staff position.

Therefore, I am directed to request you stop downsizing of the staff, arrange to fill up all the vacancies and also streamline the redundant work at the earliest so as to improve the quality of work and morale of the staff in the Office.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
