Earlier there was a proposal to upgrade all IP sub divisions into ASP sub divisions. After Heads of Circle Conference at 13th and 14th April 2009 the Dept. has revised the proposal to make all Sub Divisions to be manned by IPs only. Accordingly there is a proposal to attach all ASPs with D.O./R.O./C.O. It is only at the proposal stage and there was a discussion on this for about two hours with Member (P), DDG(Est) and DDG(P). They are of the view that IPs should be engaged first as Sub Divisional heads and after gaining enough experience in the field they must be attached to administrative offices.
But I strongly advocated all Sub Divisions should be upgraded to ASP status. Then only the benefit acquiring Gazetted status would be fruitful and many of the financial / administrative powers exercised by Divisional Heads should be decentralized and efficiency of the Post offices at field level can be improved. While all sub divisional heads in all State nad Central Govt. Depts. Are manned by Gazetted Officers the same arrangement may be also be made in Postal Dept. However I informed Member (P) that a final opinion of our Association would be submitted to the Dept. after consultation with all Circle Secretaries only. Member(P) has given us two weeks time to come up with a final proposal. I request all Circle Secretaries to have a discussion immediately with working committee members and your circle proposal either by post or by eMail. The following information is also urgently required to analyse and send the proposal. The same may pl. be collected from your C.O./R.O. and send it to CHQ immediately.
Matter most urgent. Pl give priority to this letter.
| Sl.No. | Name of the Postal Division | Status | No.of ASP(HQ) in DO | No.of OS(IP cadre)in DO | No.of ASP(Tour/OutDoor) in DO | No.of CI in DO | No.of Sub Dns manned by ASPs | No.of Sub Dns manned by IPs | No.of MailOverseeers attached to ASP SubDns | No.of MailOverseers attached to IP Sub Dns |

All are requested to post their suggestions/views immediately.
