Sub:    Consideration  of   transfer order of Dr. S.R. Dhar, C. M. O.
         (N.F.S.G.) from the Postal Dispensary , Siliguri to  Postal Dispensary, Jalpaiguri

Respected  Sir,

 It is learnt with deep concern that Dr. S.R. Dhar, Chief Medical Office(N.F.S.G.), Postal Dispensary, Siliguri has been ordered to be transferred as the CMO, Postal Dispensary, Jalpaiguri  vice Dr.Ashoke Kumar Ghosh, C.M.O. I/C Postal Dispensary, Jalpaiguri  will  retire  from service on superannuation on 28.02.2011(After noon)
            In view with the facts as stated  above  I would like to draw your kind attention to the following few lines for favour of your kind reconsideration and justifiable order so that no  dispensary situated either in Siliguri or in Jalpaiguri shall have not be in troubles in any way in future towards providing the adequate services to the members of staffs working  in the both cities like Siliguri and Jalpaiguri.
            It is well known to all that Siliguri is not only   recognized  as an unwritten Capital of North Bengal. But,  at the same time it’s also well  recognised as a Gate Way of  North-East Zone in India. As such, considering its all aspects,  importance and glorious potentiality of the Siliguri,  the department of Posts  has initiated an wide and biggest Postal Net Work in Siliguri in view of providing an adequate Postal services in  through out the North-East Zone, India.
            Accordingly, the various wings of this department like Rly. Mail Service, Rly. Mail Motor, Postal Store Depot, Post Offices and the Regional Head Quarter of Postal Services  had also been established in Siliguri.
Hence in view of providing the minimum family welfare and medical facilities, the  both Dispensaries were inaugurated in  Siliguri and Jalpaiguri. Earlier, both the dispensaries of Siliguri and Jalpaiguri were providing  the medical facilities to the whole members of staff of the department of  Posts and Telegraphs.  
 Later on, after the bifurcation of this department in the two separate and individual establishments like Posts and Telephones,  the strength of the beneficiaries of the two dispensaries situated in Siliguri and Jalpaiguri became decreased  most unexpectedly.
But, instead of that the number of beneficiaries of the  Postal Dispensary , Siliguri  had  not been less than 4000 and till there 3500 beneficiaries (including the pensioners of the Postal and Telephones departments)  have yet been  enjoying the medical facilities of the Postal Dispensary, Siliguri and accordingly at least 120 beneficiaries are regularly being used to  come at the postal dispensary ,Siliguri  for the purpose of availing the  medical treatment, check-up and review in a  regular measure.
But to satisfy the rules of this department, there at least 3 Doctors are normally required to provide  the proper service, examination, check-up, review  of the patients.  Although,  there 3 (three) Doctors were  available in the Dispensary , Siliguri till 28.02.2010  to  subserve  the purpose but due to the promotion of Dr. P.K. Deb,  (Chief Medical Officer, Postal Dispensary, Siliguri  ) one of them has reduced. For which a tremendous crisis is being created and subsequently effecting the proper supervision and caring of the patients and also the other administrative works are hindered from smooth functioning.
Hence, under this adversaries, instead of appointing another one Doctor, the removal of one more in the present situation is against the circumstantial necessities and demands. As a result when this dispensary has been functioning with an acute shortage of staffs and Doctors and a crucial moment is being faced regularly, at such severe  stage  the another order of transfer and posting of Dr. S.R. Dhar, CMO (NFGS) from Siliguri to Jalpaiguri is certainly being seemed as a bolt from the blue  and an warrant to seize off the works prior to closedown the dispensary of  Siliguri in a very near future. Resulting the members of staffs and beneficiaries of the Siliguri have been  aggrieved very much.
Under this circumstances, you are requested to kindly reconsider the matter with a realistic views so that the order of the transfer and posting of Dr. Dhar from Siliguri to Jalapiguri may kindly be dropped immediately.
