Ref: This Association Notice No. ASA/2012-1428
dated 25.06.2012.
Sir,
Your kindself is fully
aware that this Association has submitted many a resolutions adopted in the CWC
Meeting held at Aurangabad
on 22nd April 2012 regarding welfare measures of our beloved
members, numerous representations on various issues for implementation on time
bound. Many a important decisions taken
in the 63rd and 64th JCM Meetings are still kept pending
unimplemented for years together. It is
highly regretable to note that no concrete decisions and positive steps have
been taken by your end to mitigate the problems of the members which has created
deep frustration among the Members. I am
extremely sorry to state that this is a shameful act of the administration and
lukewarm treatment is given to the correspondences of this Recognized
Association. Consequently, this Association has taken a decision for staging
Massive Dharna on 10th August 2012 and accordingly a Notice was
served vide this Association letter cited under reference. However, in order to have a healthy
atmosphere between the Organization and the Association and as per the request
of the Director (Administration), ASI, New Delhi a team comprising of the
President, Secretary General and some of the CWC Members held a discussion on
27th July 2012 for amicable and early settlement and in spite of
this, no concrete decisions was taken which shows that the Directorate is not
ready for easy and speedy settlement. Consequently ,the CWC have now taken a
final decision to hold Massive Dharna to get the legitimate demands fulfilled
which is now postponed for 23rd and 24th August 2012
fixed for 10th August
2012. The following CHARTER OF DEMANDS are once again
submitted herewith for your consideration and immediate implementation.
