NGOs' Association demands allotment of vacant quarters


News Item
Non Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association, Andaman & Nicobar Islands has demanded immediate allotment of vacant Govt. residential accommodations to the waitlisted employees as per their eligibility. In a letter addressed to the Chief Secretary, Shri  Anand Prakash, the General secretary (i/c) of the association ,Shri T S  Sreekumar,  invited his attention to the fact that around 100 quarters are lying vacant and requested his intervention for the allotment of these quarters as the existing seniority lists are going to lapse by June end, 2013. Atleast 15 type IV quarters are vacant and no allotments have been made till date from the existing seniority list which was published by the Housing & Estates Department in the month of August, 2012. The Association expressed its anguish and concern on the so called decision of the Housing & Estate Department halting the allotment of type IV quarters to the locally recruited employees.
Also it was pointed out in the letter that 85 or so quarters of type I, type II and type III are also lying vacant and hundreds of eligible employees are eagerly waiting for an allotment from among these categories. Any further delay in allotment may force these employees to apply afresh in July, 2013 as the existing seniority lists are valid only up to June end. The Association also bring to the notice of the Chief secretary that the Govt treasury is losing tens of lakhs of rupees, disbursed as HRA to the employees, due to the non allotment and delay in allotment of Govt accommodations.
