  2. Kind attention of Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers (Shri K KRISHNAN, General Secretary)to a point particularly related to the Retired Defence Civilians, which is pending with the
    Ministry of Defence for quite some time now. As all are aware, while the Defence Civilians are in service they are entitled to draw items from the CSD / URCs (run by the Canteen Stores Department), however, after
    their retirement from service, the said facility was withheld/stopped stating that there are some constraints like shortage of manpower, accommodation, budgetary support etc., the matter has been kept pending/held in abeyance, till these "constraints" are addressed to. Is there any justification in the stand of Ministry of Defence, as these Civilian Employees were enjoying the said facility while in service? How, all of a sudden, additional requirement of man-power & budgetary support arose? As a matter of fact, by extending the said facility to a negligible proportion of retired Defence Civilians (say 5 to 6%), the CSD is defnitely going to get profit only. I may also mention here that the present employees & workers are going to be " the Pensioners" tomorrow and therefore CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES & WORKERS, CENTRAL HQ NEW DELHI has moral responsibility to help these retired Defence Civilians in getting the CSD facility restored early, as they are all in the fag end of their life.

  3. MACP on promotional hierarchy should be given to avoid injustice to the employees, especially group c employees. The MACP was given to UDC as Rs. 2800 instead of promotional hierarchy grade pay of Rs. 4600. I hope the association will solve the issue in the coming days and the MACP will be on promotional hierarchy scale and grade pay just like it had been given earlier in old ACP scheme.
