Sub:    Request for immediate renewal of the contract period of the outsourced workers of CGHS WCs in Odisha.

 

Respected Sir,

It has come to the notice of this Confederation that in the absence of adequate regular staff, the CGHS Offices and Wellness Centers  in Odisha are being managed somehow by outsourcing in Group 'C’ & ‘D' cadre till now. But we are constrained to bring to your kind notice that although the period of continuance of their service is ending this March 2023, no permission has yet been issued by your office for renewal of the contract period beyond March, 2023.

As known, though the Additional Director, CGHS, Bhubaneswar has written a series of letters to the your office in this connection starting from 26^th  December, 2022, it seems that no tangible action has been taken so far by your Office with a deaf ear to such a sensitive issue.

It is needless to reiterate that in absence of regular staff in the vacant posts of CGHS Wellness Centers, the outsourced staff are managing the day to day work i.e dispensing of medicines, nursing, sweeping, scavenging and orderly works etc and are the backbone of CGHS Wellness Centers in Odisha. If timely permission is not granted in this regard, the said staff will be withdrawn and the Wellness Centers may be closed which will be a bolt from the blue to the beneficiaries.

The case being such, it is our earnest appeal to kindly have a generous look into the case and issue appropriate instructions to the Additional Director, CGHS, Bhubaneswar  to extend the services of the such workers till regular appointment is made to  avoid any unnecessary escalation of the issue in future.

 

Expecting an early action with a kind reply to us at the earliest, Sir,

 

With deep regards,

Yours sincerely,

 (BRUHASPATI  SAMAL)

General Secretary
