Central JCA submitted 11 point charter of demand

Update : Kolkata issued Inspector Promotion Order on 10.06.2014.
Download the Order
"The Central JCA, in its meeting held on 02-06-2014 at New Delhi thread-barely discussed the issues/ problems remaining unresolved at the apex level for a long time and it appears that no sincere or discernible efforts have been taken by the Board to resolve these issues. The meeting further took stock of the situation in view of such long pending issues and rising resentment among the rank and file of its members. The meeting, therefore, chalked out an 11-point charter of demands concerning the welfare and career of its members for their immediate settlement by the Board to avoid any future industrial unrest in the Department. The said charter of demand is enclosed with this letter with the expectation that the Chairman, will sincerely address the issues on a priority basis within a reasonable period of time so as to avoid unpleasant situation in the department.
