 During the meeting the official side alleged that employees are indulging in malpractices which compelled the authorities to install the CCTV inside the office. The staff side refuted the wild allegation made by the authorities against the innocent Gr-B & C Employees and registered its protest.  It is nothing but serious charge which questioning the honesty and integrity of entire employees of the office. After a prolonged discussion the staff side instead of taking an adamant stand, requested the authorities  to change angle of CCTC Cameras  in such a manner that the employees are able to  work comfortably without any fear of invasion of their privacy. Although the authorities had assured that they would take necessary steps in this respect but even after lapse of three months no action has been taken.

This meeting resolves that, if the matter is not settled the Association shall have no other alternative but to adopt the path of agitation and the Association shall not be responsible for any disturbance of prevailing congenial atmosphere in the Civil Accounts Organization.
