Leave will not be granted on 28th February’s Strike
There is an Industrial Strike on 28th February, 2012, called by trade unions. CITU told that this strike would be converted to a national general strike.
Now, a Govt. Order released by the Chief Secretary, Sri Samar Ghosh, stating that, no leave will be granted for absence on that day i.e. 28th February.
The employees who shall remain absent on 28th February will not be granted any kind of leave. Disciplinary action may be initiated against such absence. Leave without Pay and a service break may be the penal measure from the higher authority. However, if an employee made himself / herself absent due to some genuine reasons then the reasons of absence will be treated according to the merit of the case and, accordingly, the government will take its decision.
Update: No action will be taken against the absentee on 28th February, Govt declared.
Update: Absentee Statement on 28.02.2012 is to be submitted

This is a gross voilation of human rights.
If the proposed strike cripples the very means of transportation or if there is any road blockade anywhere,strike supporters out to threaten the dare-devil office-goers, who will take the responsibility?
Agreed.
Administration must ensure safety and security of the interested office-goers on strike day. But it appears next to impossible to any administration to comply with this. Hence it is safe to remain at home and treat this Bandh as holiday even at the cost of a day salary cut.
I support you totally, would the state government provide police protection for each of the employees? If the rail service is disrupted and there is a road blockade, the parties may go into skirmishes, but we are not supposed to take either part. If we have to report we must report at the usual reporting time and when the government forces us, why should we report at late hours…would not be a breach of the rules? Moreover, if we get injured or killed what answer the state government should give….and they are answerable. The state government should stop thinking that they are a super power. And if a road is blocked by the strike supporters or, the rail , for that matter, I am going to sue the government for its sheer failure to ensure the big talks. If we have to go to work there is no problem. But we must reach in time, neither a minute earlier , not leave a minute extra. The government is supposed to make the arrangement fool proof…and then we would see who penalises whom…and the judiciary is there to handle it finally. No body is above the law.
Life or Service? Now decide what should we save?
I agree with this, we have to come office in time, because empty pot sound more.
There will no any violance in KOLKATA.
i think it’s a last day of our life ! so enjoy before on that day.
” P.F R.D.A. Bill and rising of market price ”
strick strongly done against this order……..
If any leave is not then government have to confirm that transport system will not hampered? can govt give us surety regarding this matter?
I’m a professor in West Bengal Education Service.I don’t support any kind of BANDH what so ever. But being a Citizen of a democratic country I also don’t support the govt. order.My question to all the citizen as well as Chief Minister what is more important -”My life and My Family Or My Service”- Who will take the responsibility if there be any kind of accident ?
Is TMC absolutely sure that they will never ever use Bandh politics in rest of TMC’s lifetime……remember the govt may not be parmanently TMC’s……& also remember TMC came in govt. due to singur strike…..my dear friend WORLD IS ROUND….
KUDOS…KUDOS…they seem oblivious of the innumerable bandhs and strikes they had called when they were hungry for the Writer’s …
Particularly this bandh is fraudulent. But astonishingly this Govt. is thinking to make this bandh unsuccessful just by keeping the Govt.offices open. Very most of the markets,shops,Financial Institutions, schools.colleges,Public transports………everything will remain close. No insurance coverage will be available to the vehicles,shops etc. etc. So no one will take any risk. Then what the Govt.offices and its employees will do? Yes, this time the sick transport deptt. will be compelled to run empty buses through out the day with severe injuries !! The last thing, like reconsideration of giving aid for Pension & salary to the transport Deptt. after a sad demise of an employee, may be in the next bandh Govt. may be more considerate to its employees. Till then try to keep yourself alive.
Will Govt. gives us life security????????? & What about the transport employees?????????? They don’t have their family ????????? They don’t have their life??????????? Why they will take life risk??????? Govt. gives security to every one then pass this type of orders………………. People, who are under 24 hours security, its easy to them to pass such a nonsense comments……………………..
Bristi is absolutely right…the powers that be can never user common people as the pawn of their political gambit…and regarding their security and life…they give two hoots…who cares! huh!
Correct Bristi . Kaas Indian political leaders tumhare jaisa hota …… After all any reward, Insurance claim ,compensation and benefits are not equal to the life of common people. Kaun Samjhaye ye saab.
Where is the reply from ur side?

member of any political party.
Explanation.—These rights do not however include any which is prohibited under the law of the

Notes on the West Bengal Service Rules, Part 1
Abstaining from or refusal or work : If an employee being
present abstains from work or refuses to work at any time on
the prescribed hours of work on any day he shall, in addition
to being liable to disciplinary action for dereliction of duty be
deemed to be absent without leave and shall not be entitled to
draw any pay and allowance for such day. [ Rule 3B]
Resorting to strike : If an employee resorts to or in any way
abets any form of strike for any period, he shall, in addition to
being liable to disciplinary action, be deemed to be absent
without leave and shall not be entitled to any pay and
allowance for such period.
The authority empowered to grant leave may either commute
retrospectively such period of absence without leave into extraordinary
leave without pay as amounting to a break-in-service
entailing forfeiture of his past service and may pass orders
accordingly. [ Rule 3C(a)]
livelihood for life not life for livelihood
A Govt. must be for the people, by the people and of the people. The activities of the Govt. can neither be arbitrary and/or malafide in any way nor it would be violative of naural justice. There is a basic and very broad difference between a private employee and a Govt. employee. In case of a private service, there must be a contract pursuant to which the fate of the employee is to be determined, but a govt. service is more than a contract and the security of the govt.employee is to be guided by the Service Jurisprudence and also by the various provisions of the Constitution of India as is also embodied in various Supreme Court Judgments too. So in my point of view if the recent W.B. Govt. takes any drastic steps towards the large numbers of employees working under this Govt.,this will not only reveals the arbitrary raj of the Govt. but also may multiply to such an extent, which may put a very serious impact on the face of the democracy and/or humanity too.
Firstly i want to question to our beloved C.M. Smt. Mamata Banerjee and other offers those are making that kind of circular that If any person will come out from his/ her home to attend the Office duties only to save their service, then govt. will assure them about Security for their life? and Mrs C.M. should make commitment to us that her party will never call strike or bandh any way, is it possible for our Bengal? I think NO. because we have seen before that time T.M.C and other party so many times called bandh or strike for long time. so govt. should think about their employee’s problem, should not to do threat, all employees have family, so they have also responsibility to maintain their family, In that way one Government like a family and i think all govt. employee like family members.so I don’t any strike personally but also i don’t agree with this type of order. Govt. should think of it.
Service is for the sake of Life ———-OR——— Life is for the shake of Service
The admin does not know anything about the all post! So what is the necessity of such type of option to put our comment on the post? Just withdraw the option!
Bogaaaaaaaaaas!
What can I do? I am also helpless.
Please don’t accuse me for Govt. decision. I am not the decision maker. I am a simple Govt. employee. I only try to provide information without any personal bias.
No no!
I am not accusing you, personally, plz do not take it otherwise.
I meant to say that we need a reply from authenticate source, that’s it.
i like ur reply @admin
Goutam!!! It the name of a great person who is well known for peace and love. I hope you will keep its dignity Mr Dey. This is the place for discussions and sharing knowledge only, not a battle field.
if government have the power to protest against strike then why should gov change the madhamik exam.having all kind of power gov. know it is not possible to take exam that day.then why gov. pressurizes our to work.Gov. did not work his job
what should the teachers of govt. aided schools do on 28th feb?
Then, what is the benefit for doing only discussions?
Nothing!
so plz stop this type of discussions.
Can we make a mass decision against the order or what is the remedy or second option?
Action
Action
Mass decision ??? the question is whether to come or not to come to the office on 28th. You will loose one day salary if u are absent. or you will get salary if u are present. No service break and other action can be taken if you are absent. No capital punishment will be given to you as per law. So you are the best judge. You decide what you will do on 28th. All other notifications and discussions are absolutely rubbish and have no legal value. You can come to the office if law and order condition is under control. If it is not than no need to go to the office. have mutton jhol and Garam Bhat tomorrow. Remember , you life is more more and more important for your wife and kids. lose of one day’s salary is nothing harmful than loss of life. Please condsider it as a vedic mantra. It is my friendly advice to all
please read ” Your life is more important for your wife/kids and parents “
thank u for ur advice.
Can u return my life to my family , If I lost my life only to attend office during that strike day ?????? Monetary compensation is not equal to one’s life. I feel both strikers and anti- strikers are mad , mad and mad…..all about politics. And Politics is the last shelter of Scoundrels….. Sorry if I am wrong.
how touching..u r absolutely absolutely right :P
what about banks? Plz rply?
i think this decision is serious matter
You are absolutely correct Mr. Dutta. Most of them are scoundrels.
thanks dear
Thanks dear ah? hehehehehe :D I think this is a very serious matter :P
JUST A FEW YEARS AGO WHILE TMC CALLED FOR A STRIKE AND WITHOUT ANY WHIP OF CPI(M) ONE PRONOY GHOSH HAD HIT THE ROAD TO ATTEND OFFICE AT RAIGANJ,UTTAR DINAJPUR, THEN SOME GOONS HAD PELTED STONES ON HIS HEAD,AS A RESULT OF WHICH HE INSTANTENEOUSLY SUCCUMBED TO HIS INJURIES. JUST GUESS, WHO WERE THOSE GOONS ? BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOW AGAINST THE STRIKE WHO WERE THEN IN FAVOUR OF IT.
Hi, I am working in IT sector & responsible for administration & facility management. I would like to ask is there any clarification or notice that transport service will be available on 28th feb or not, also what kind security will be arranged for public safety who will come to office. A revert will be highly appricitiated.
see, any sort of strike is not a govt decision. it depends that strong the strikers are. If ruling party called any strike then it is obvious that no vehicle will ply on the road. And just opposite picture will be seen if opposition party called strike. It is conventional and common sense.

great decision by the govt………..must be appreciated………
This is rubish, this type of circular must not be encouraged at anycost. This is a violation of democracy as well. A country/State cannot run on an individual’s thinking. If there is any casualty of any Gov. officer, Media will raise the issue for 3-4 days and then forget, Gov may provide 2-5 lacs as compensation to the family, and a family will lose one of its members forever.
But such strikes will still continue. Nothing will change.
So, Mr. Ashok, please think before you coment.

Agreed.
Administration must ensure safety and security of the interested office-goers on strike day. But it appears next to impossible to any administration to comply with this. Hence it is safe to remain at home and treat this Bandh as holiday even at the cost of a day salary cut.
Dear adm. This order reflect detatorship we are helpless .
Are we in the reigm of the emergency or govt.by the terrorist ? Any government forms by the democratic norms but why the government employees lost their rights ? The decision of the Government is very painful in terms of democracy . I call the Hon’ble C.M. of W.B. Please see the past days when you are doing so .= Somnath
If govt. secures the safety on road, I have no objection to attend. I would not like to take any risk

Who wii take the responsibility of my baby of 3 years if I being die on 28th Feb’12? It is a Worthless decission of Govt. of W.B.
orginal order ta koi?
Go to the top of the page, you will find the original circular.
Leave will not be granted on 28th February’s Strike
February 22, 2012 Admin Holiday, 45
There is an Industrial Strike on 28th February, 2012, called by trade unions. CITU told that this strike would be converted to a national general strike.
Now, a Govt. Order released by the Chief Secretary, Sri Samar Ghosh, stating that, no leave will be granted for absence on that day i.e. 28th February.
The employees who shall remain absent on 28th February will not be granted any kind of leave. Disciplinary action may be initiated against such absence.

However, if an employee made himself / herself absent due to some genuine reasons then the reasons of absence will be treated according to the merit of the case and, accordingly, the government will take its decision.
What do you mean by national strike???? I don’t know how much you know about our country. Indian people except the people of West Bengal does not bother about this idiotic strike and anti-campaign of strike…… As long as west bengal is concerned, I will suggest all the people of Bengal that you people should go to your work if the law and order situation is under control. Otherwise , Skip it. I can explain about the rule of service Break : NO BODY HAVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BREAK ONE EMPLOYEE’S SERVICE BY FORCE. IT WILL BE COUNTED JUST ONE DAY LESS FROM YOUR TOTAL SERVICE CARRIER .i.e if you work 6000 days in your entire service life, it will be counted as 5999 days. That’s it. So don’t be panic. Take rest if the law and order situation is not under control. Yes, your absent will not adjusted with any leave and you will be on absent without pay. You can easily go for one day absent because your life is more important for your family. Money will come and money will go . But you will never come back in case of any unwanted incident happened with you. My family and my life is more important that any sort of political tag or war. Don’t be convienced and decide what u think fit.
There is some missunderstanding my friend. I have copy pasted the circular and not written it myself. Please read it once again at the top.
Sorry friend, but I hope being a sensible citizen , you will agree with my me…..other wise it is my bad luck.
please read me ( Not my me )
my train 12430 rajdhani is from delhi today 27 feb to bangalore, it is supposed to reach 29feb morning to bangalore, can some one pls advise if this will also get disrupted because of bandh
you can travel easily as I am a permanent resident of Delhi now in Deputation in Kolkata. Rest of Indians except west Bengal people are not mad . I never seen Bandh in delhi after 31st Oct 1984. Even Delhites is not aware of this strike…..Your safe journey is assured because it is not west bengal bound train. Happy journey
thanks, once i was coming from bangalore to delhi, and u wont believe train got 24 hr delayed ‘coz of telangana issue and they didnt gave any food also…lets hope it wont get repeated this time
oh hoh ,,, telengana Issue is related to AP and your train route is via Secunderabad. But this general strike in not so burning in rest of the world except West Bengal ,Tripura and Kerala….Your route is via Delhi where Left has one Bidhan Sabha Seat. Haryana : Nil . , Uttar Pradesh : 1 , MP : 1 , Maharastra : 2 , AP : 3 and Karnataka : Nil. Do you think the strikers can make it successful with this type of strength. So Be happy and be on time in Hazrat Nizamuddin station. Remember the dep time is 8.50 p.m. Nothing wrong is going to be happened with you.. Being a Delhiets , I have seen lots of Bharat Bandh , Chakka Jam in the last 25 years. I am surprised to see the madness of West Bengal people. That is why West Bengal is lagging 50 years from other States . Even Bihar is ahead of Bengal now.
thanks boss!
we have a train on 28t from bangalore . in the evening . so is there any problem of travel by auto????
You follow the same rule please
thanks boss!!
Well, i
well i too feel that giving this kind of a circular alone does not solve the problem. If the government really thinks about the common people, they can make any SUNDAY or WEEKLY off as a working day for compensation. Forcing people to come to work is against democracy.
Also would like to add that this is a platform to write comment and not fight. Being a sensible citizen we should understand the views of one another rather than fighting with the states we live in..
Bandh is a way of sounding protest against violation of unfavourable activity but this bandh is certainly a misuse of right by concerning parties.
Bandh is no longer a sound protest against any type of voilation of unfavourable acvities. Now it is treated as a blunt weapon. And we , the common people is treated bandh as a nice holiday when our wife and kids will not force us to go to the market for shopping with them. it is my personal view. You may not be agree with me
Bandh should be banned in our country for a new Nation.
Pls let me clarify whether the teachers of govt-aided schools are govt employee. The order issued by Samar Ghosh is for Govt Employee only. Why the state govt. is not giving the status of govt employee to the teachers of govt aided schools ????? The state may do so considering the central assistance from Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksa Abhijan (RMSA). State govt should not politicalise education system. There is few Govt-Aided Schools in all other states. The Govt of WB should review this situation as per Right to Education Act……

The best thing we can do by accumulating our power is to Oppose any kind of strike as Strike is not a solution of our problem and it becomes as a curse to many of the day labour and poor people.
I see this as a gross violation of the fundamental right of indian citizens.
What steps can be taken by the govt. if any school teacher a govt. aided school will not present on 28th feb. as per present rule? Again what kind of leave should be granted for employees who are not present on 28th?
Is it not akin to the British raj? Even in the election duties which are very emergent in nature,, there is an option to apply for exemption on genuine medical grounds where the election officers having military powers too forward our applications ti the district hospitals to provide a chance to an employee to express the severity of his problem..The Election Commission having the military powers provides us a scope to stand before a doctor and it announces a huge sum as an insurance whenever the life is lost/? But here the state goverrnment is not a military regime but an elected Republic by the people for the people/ Moreover,there is a provision of right to Life in the constitution.which could be hampered during strikes by any political party..The people of Bengal have utmost respect upon the personality of the CM. . These draconian circulars and laws not giving any chance tor tight to strike or to others any medical leave even might give short term success but defeat for long term unless and until the party learns from the history..
as per the service rule the employee have the every rihgt to take part in the strike. At this stage if the gov.will not granted the leave on that particular day , it will just their to show thir power to the gov. employees in this matter.
I AGREE WITh YOU.
