Consequences of Hateful statements in public life in the garb of

administrative actions such as the following continue unabated:-

The above is one of the Imaginary grave violation to incite personal

hatred against a whistle blower. Thus it is need of hour that NIACL and
its policy making association,namely,GIPSA follow directions of central
Govt regarding official language cadre with justified pay scale and
promotional opportunities to hindi translator(s ) (who cannot be
humiliated as assistant on account of such rules that were neither in
public domain nor published in any book) and withdraw the orders/
litigations that incite hatred .

Ministry of Finance be kindly advised not to proceed with

wage revision proposed /forwarded by GIPSA unless support
to corruption and injustice to translators ends.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,

Re: Representation against the recategorisation of Translator as Assistant and

anomaly of pay scale of translators
Vis-a-vis qualification requirement

We have received representations from Hindi Translators working under our Delhi R.O.
I and II on the above subject matter. Copies of the same alongwith the enclosures are
enclosed for your perusal.

Employees have mentioned in their representation that as per Department of Official

Language, Ministry of Home Affairs,post of Hindi Officers, Hindi Stenographers,Hindi
Translators,Hindi Typists were created in the year 1985 in our Industry.

Hindi Translator was a new post in our industry with educational qualification of
Graduation,they were appointed in the grade of Assistant with six additional increments
(four plus two graduation increments). Employees further represented that this
additional four increments clearly shows that Management recognized the Hindi
Translator not only a separate cadre but also a higher cadre than Assistant.

After Wage Revision of 2005 various Sr. Assitant grade and Assitant grade posts were
recategorised as Sr. Assistant and Assistant respectively. Due to redesignation as
Assistant employees feel that they have been downgraded and it is also a clear, blatant
and unconstitutional violation of terms of appointment as they were appointed as Hindi
Translator.

During the visit of Parliamentary Committee on Official Language to our Srinagar DO on

19/6/2006 it was pointed out by the Committee that the post is treated as technical post
requiring educational qualification of post graduation.

The translator is placed at the level of Assistant whose minimum required educational
Qualification is 12th passed. Not only this even stenographers who are placed one post
ahead of the translator required minimum educational qualification of 12th standard.

Pof. Ramdev Bhandari,Dy Chairman asked us to get resolved grievances of the

translator and see that justice is mad to all Hindi Translators working in New India
Assurance. Committee has also reminded of action to be taken on pending matter of
creation of /up gradation of separate cadre for Hindi Staff and the officers and see that
translator working in our Company are duly promoted as Hindi Officer and not diverted
elsewhere. They have also advised to upgrade the cadre upto Dy General Manager
level. We have also assured the Committee that the issue will be taken up with GIPSA
to resolve the grievances of these translators as well as creation of separate cadre of
Hindi Staff.

We now request you to discuss this issue in ensuing GM (P) meeting and let us have
your advice in this regard.

Thanking you.

Yours faithfully,

(N.TOPPO)

DY GENERAL MANAGER
