ADDITIONAL DA FOR CENTRAL GOVT EMPLOYEES AND PENSIONERS : CABINET COMMITTEE IS LIKELY TO DISCUSS IN THE NEXT MEETING…

 

EXPECTED DEARNESS ALLOWANCE FROM JAN 2012…
The king of all allowances…

Dearness Allowance

The magnet word of ‘Dearness Allowance’ is the commonly used among the Central and State government employees and Pensioners. As it is the only allowance which they can expect twice in a year to overcome the financial burden in their families. Even though they are entitled to receive a number of allowances, it may vary depends upon the work, workplaces and climatic conditions. Some of these allowances has limitations and paid only to the eligible employees according to the nature of work. But the Dearness Allowance is not like that. This allowance is paid to all central government employees evenly without any specific limitations.

As every one knows that D A is paid twice in a year i.e. in January and in July as recommended in the 6th Central Pay Commission. The Central Government announces the D A on the recommendations of the Labour Bureau which calculates the rising prices of different essential commodities at different places all over India. When the price rises, DA also rises.

Employees are eagerly awaiting the announcement of this year’s first instalment of DA and it will be announced soon by the government.

Govt opens account on Facebook to create awareness

Govt opens account on Facebook to create awareness

New Delhi, Mar 12, 2012(PTI): The Information and Broadcasting ministry has opened a dedicated account on social networking site Facebook to interact with people to create awareness about its plans to digitise the cable sector.

Officials in the I & B ministry hope that the 'Wall' on the facebook account would become an interactive platform.

 

“The Government has launched a new and dedicated facebook account, namely, www.facebook.com /DigitalIndiaMIB to facilitate exchange of information and clarifications on a wider canvas of public participation, covering a whole gamut of public concerns,” 

 

a statement from the ministry said today.
The ministry’s facebook account carries answers to some of the frequently asked questions (faqs) and provides links to other connected organizations involved in digitisation.
Officials in the ministry hope that the ‘Wall’ on the facebook account would become an interactive platform and also be a source of information for individuals as well as the stakeholders like the Multi-System Operators and Cable Operators.
The ministry has set an ambitious deadline for complete digitisation of the Cable sector by December 31, 2014. In Phase I of this plan, the four metropolitan cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata have to be digitalised by June 30 this year.
The digital switch-over of cable television necessitates adequate public awareness about the new system and the changes to be made at the level of stakeholders including television viewers to be digital ready by the cut-off dates, the statement said.
The I and B ministry is also planning special awareness campaigns in conjunction with state governments to disseminate information related to digitisation.

Proposed new postal security standards for International Mail

The UPU’s official bodies, the Council of Administration and the Postal Operations Council, last week endorsed a proposed resolution on minimum security standards for international mail.

The proposal will be put forth for formal adoption by UPU member countries at the 25th Universal Postal Union Congress in Doha, Qatar, in September/October 2012.

 

If approved, the proposed standards would force Posts worldwide to apply measures to better screen international mail and take custody of it. Posts would have to apply minimum security standards to critical facilities in their network, such as international offices of mail exchanges, which process arriving and departing international mail.

According to UPU Postal Security Expert David Bowers, the standards would establish a security baseline to the global postal network, thus reassuring civil aviation and customs organizations that international mail has gone through minimum screening measures. “Our goal is to harmonize our international standards with the ones developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization to guide air transportation of mail,” explains Bowers.

International effort

The new proposed standards are the result of two years of work by the UPU’s inter-committee on security group. It includes representatives from UPU member countries and major international organizations, such as the International Air Transport Association, the International Civil Aviation Organization, the World Customs Organization and the United States Transport Security Agency, among others.

The UPU set up the group to tighten security standards for the global postal supply chain after rigorous TSA screening measures were unilaterally applied to international mail travelling to the United States in late 2010 after two packages containing bombs were found on private courier flights destined for the United States. The packages, sent from Yemen, were intercepted in Dubai and the United Kingdom.

The UPU launched a concerted effort among all relevant parties to come up with standardized security standards for the global postal supply chain to increase the security of mail travelling by air.

Member countries had adopted recommended security standards at the last Universal Postal Congress in Geneva in 2008, but there was no obligation to implement them.
