Comptroller Defence Accounts and Pension department raises concern over transfer of employees

At a meeting of employees and officers of Comptroller Defence Accounts and Pension (CDA-P) held on Tuesday the speakers expressed concern over the decision of the central government to change the character of Allahabad office which, until now has been treated as a static office.



Addressing the meeting, the general secretary of employees union, Nirmal Chandra Srivastava said that the policy change has resulted in mass transfer of 15 assistant accounts officer to different parts of the country. The office, which was shifted after independence from Lahore to Allahabad was declared a static office where posting of employees was permanent in nature. However the recent decision of transferring 15 assistant accounts officer would disturb the existing system of Allahabad office given the fact that records of pensioners dating back to 80 years have been preserved safely.Assuring to take up the issue with union defence minister, Samajwadi Party (SP) national general secretary and Allahabad MP, Rewati Raman Singh said that he would persuade the minister to restore static status to Allahabad office.



This would also preserve the status of Allahabad, which has always remained a hub of central government offices in the state.



He said that issues related to welfare of employees would be fought from the streets to parliament and it would be ensured that ambulance facility for employees would be restored. Besides the status of Motilal Nehru Medical College would be upgraded to the level of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and land for the same has been earmarked in the Naini Industrial Area.



An employee leader Sandhya said that employees of CDA Pension department be provided canteen facilities after retirement also like their counterparts in the army.
