Submission of .
R/Sir,
The Central Executive
Committee of this Association directed the undersigned to bring the following
important long pending issues pertaining to Group B Gazetted Officers for your
kind notice and earliest action.
Sir, the Group B Gazetted cadre, those are
really technical experts about the existing plant, machinery and productivity
of Ordnance Factories are neglected for the last two decades without any proper
Promotional avenue and financial benefit. Most of the allowances were curtailed
for the cadre due to Gazetted status. At present, the whole cadre is fully
demoralized without any promotional avenue and any financial benefit at par
with other cadre in ordnance factories. Ordnance factories is the only
industrial set up where subordinate employees gets more gross salary than
superior Group B Gazetted cadre.
Sir, This Association has taken up most of
the long pending issues pertaining to Group B Gazetted cadre at OFB and MOD
Level but not a single issue was resolved till date. Many meeting were held at
OFB and MOD for the last three year and accordingly Minutes were published, but
till date long pending issues were not resolved by OFB.
Once again this Association is constrained to bring following long
pending issues pertaining to Group B Gazetted cadre for your kind intervention
and necessary action in a time bound manner please.
Therefore this Association requests The DGOF & Chairman/OFB for
consideration and earliest action on following points within a period of one
month or otherwise this Association may reluctantly initiate agitation moment.
i)
Publication of
corrected Seniority List of JWM Cadre- It is observed that
the seniority list of only JWM cadre has not corrected by OFB till date. There
are many court cases against the seniority list due to many discrepancies and
time to time change in seniority list policy by OFB without following DOP&T
guide lines. Without proper seniority list no further promotion can be operated
by OFB. Therefore Seniority List of
JWMs which has got many discrepancies and not being corrected for a long time
should be corrected and published at the earliest.
ii)
Increasing in JWM
(SG) /Technical Cadre as per Gazette Notification and functional requirement of
Ordnance Factories:- It is observed
that the JWM(SG) Technical Strength in Ordnance factories has been prepared by
OFB against Gazette Notification and exact functional requirement in an
industrial organization. This Association has taken up the matter at OFB and
MOD level many times but OFB is not Considering to take all the existing 4200
GP for calculating the JWM(SG) Technical Strength. Therefore, it is requested
to increase JWM(SG)/Technical Strength as per Gazette notification without
misinterpreting.
iii)
Revised Transfer
Policy as per DOP&T Guidelines:- The
current Transfer Policy of JWM/PS should be withdrawn as it is not as per any
Government Guide lines. Revised Transfer Policy should be made for JWM/PS by
OFB with due consultation of stake holders at the earliest.
iv)
Cadre
restructuring of Group B Cadre in Ordnance Factories:- There was no Cadre
Restructuring in Ordnance Factories by OFB for Middle management cadres for
making proper promotional avenue for last three decades. In 2012 Cadre
restructuring committee submitted its report but OFB has kept it aside and not
materialize the same. Therefore, it is requested that Cadre restructuring of Group B Cadre in
Ordnance Factories should be made in such a way to give at least five
promotional avenues at par with DRDO, DAE.
v)
Cadre Review of
PS cadre in Factories as par with PS cadre in OFB HQ:- The working hours(06
Days) and responsibility of PS cadres of Ordnance Factories are more than the
PS cadre of OFB Head Quarter. Therefore, cadre review of PS cadres should be
made at par with OFB Head Quarter at the earliest please.
vi)
Publication of
Duties and Responsibilities of JWM Cadre in Ordnance Factories-
Duties and Responsibilities of Group ‘A’ Cadre
in Ordnance factories had been published by OFB in 2008 in which AWM and WM are
assigned the duty of HOS but actually JWM is performing the duty. Similarly for
Medical and Paramedical Staff it has been published in 2002. Association is
continuously demanding for publication of Duties and Responsibilities of JWM
Cadre but OFB not yet all published the same. JWMs are assigned job like LDC,
UDC, and Supervisor without any subordinate staff. Therefore, Duties and
Responsibilities of JWM Cadre in Ordnance factories should be published by OFB
at the earliest.
vii)
DPC for AWM (JTS)
Promotion:- Promotion from JWM to AWM(JTS0 is pending in Ordnance factories for the
last three years but Direct recruitment in JTS are being continued by OFB.
Therefore, Promotions from
JWM to AWM (by Adhoc or Normal) should be effected at the earliest without any
further delay.
viii) Risk Allowance for CM and JWM Cadres:- It is observed that
Chargeman as well as JWMs are affected in the hazardous operation for any
untoward incident but are denied for risk allowance.
Therefore, Risk Allowance should be granted to
CM & JWM those are working in Hazardous operation and wherever IEs are
eligible to get.
ix)
Incentive to JWM
Cadre:- The Incentive Scheme Committee which has formed by OFB has not yet
submitting their report for a long time. The Group B Gazetted cadres are not
granted any allowances and PLB even after fully involvement in Production,
Planning, Safety and Quality. Therefore, Incentive
scheme for JWM Cadre should be implemented in OFB for boosting the morale of
the cadre.
x)
Implementation of
Pay Fixation for CM and JWM Cadre in Ordnance Factories:-
As per the Honorable CAT, Ernakulam Bench, the Pay Fixation ordered by
Honorable CAT, Ernakulam should be implemented in OFB according by Chargeman

13860/-w.e.f. 01.01.2006.
xi)
Training of JWM s
at NADP:- Ordnance Factories
is a industrial Organisation where Proper HRD Policy to be monitored. But it is
deeply regretted that Group B Gazetted cadres were given training in OFILs
along with their subordinate staff (LDC,UDC, OS, Chargeman) and the quality of
training is not upto the mark. Therefore, it is requested to give training to
all the gazette officers (JWM and PS) at NADP for a better HRD policy.
Hon’ble DGOF & Chairman is
requested for his kind intervention and necessary direction for resolving all
the above important long pending burning issues pertaining to Group B Gazetted
cadre in a time bound manner without any further delay please. NDGBGOA is
