The Senior Superintendent of Post Offices
Bhubaneswar Division, Bhubaneswar – 751 009
Sub: Problems of Business Processing Centre, Bhubaneswar GPO
Sir,
When the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India is dreaming for a Swachh Bharat and Digital India and our Department is ensuring in-time and correct implementation of all such orders issued by the Government from time to time, most regretfully, we would like to say that we are witnessing a serious contradiction to the real sense of Swachh Bharat and Digital India in the Business Processing Centre of Bhubaneswar GPO which is the largest profit earning centre of India Post not only in Bhubaneswar Division but in Odisha Circle.
Some common issues which can be solved by just a little intervention are brought to your kind notice as follows.
1. As aware, the BPC is presently functioning in a cycle stand only with a single door and without any window. As many as 25 staff members are being suffocated while working in a very unhealthy atmosphere without cross ventilation. We realize that due to want of space, the centre started functioning there. But years have passed. Unfortunately, no action has yet been taken to make the workplace healthy with required renovation.
2. The BPC is equipped with old, broken and rejected furniture. The damaged table of the Supervisor at the entrance will speak a lot on the poor condition of the BPC along with the outdated fixtures and fittings.
3. The fans are not in proper working condition and alternatively there is no A C provision in the erstwhile cycle stand. The unhealthy condition of a hall without windows/ACs and with 25 people gives the picture of a cell of a jail with prisoners.
4. Thousands of letters/parcels/packets are being handled regularly starting from receiving, journalizing, weighing, costing, facing, stamping, sorting, and computer data entry and dispatching work. The hall has not been equipped with standard furniture for performing all those activities in a planned manner. As such, heaps of such articles on the floor in a very disarranged manner give a very ugly picture putting several questions on Swachh Bharat mission.
5. Out of 4 nodes installed in the BPC, 2 are about to be condemned and thus affecting the performances of the BPC.
6. Most importantly, while we are highly talking about modernization, the BPC where as many as 25 people are working has no drinking water facility and lavatory. It is needless to reiterate that many lady outsiders are working in the BPC.
Under the circumstances, to make the workplace healthy and decent, we would like to suggest as follows.
a. To renovate the space with proper/required electrical and civil repairing works supplying standard furniture/equipment for giving a corporate look so that the employees can sit and work decently.
b. To provide required number of Air Conditioners or to make necessary arrangements for proper ventilation to avoid suffocation.
c. To arrange for drinking water facilities giving necessary water connection and installing a water cooler for 25 staff members.
d. To construct lavatories separately for ladies and gents in the premises.
If the working environment of the BPC, Bhubaneswar GPO is not made employees-friendly with the above electrical/civil works within a specific time period, then we would like to demand for immediate shifting of the BPC to a suitable accommodation.
An early reply on the matter is highly solicited.
With regards.
Yours faithfully,
( BRUHASPATI SAMAL)
Divisional Secretary
