Circular on construction of quarters-regarding

Dear Friends,

In a democratic set up, conduct of elections is an essential requirement. The structure of an institution is defined in its constitution and this plays a very vital role in strengthening the institution.. Various constituents like local bodies, Branch Council, Regional Council, Central Executive Council and General Body are designed to complement each other for better cohesion and performance. The solidary of the structure is in built in the constitution and gives automatic immunity from outside forces.

In a stark deviation from the past exercises of election, it is being observed that some office bearers who were privy to many information and functioning of the A TC Guild did not divulge and disseminate information to the general membership in time, thereby causing an impression of non­performance in the minds of the members. Of late, it is observed that such office bearers are trying to shirk off responsibility and shift the blame on Central Executive Council because of convenience and motive. Even though, it is unwarranted and unwanted, still being a responsible office bearer I feel it prudent to place an explanation to the members on the following issues:

1. Construction of quarters at Mumbai

This is a perennial issue in Airports Authority of India for which all employees including ATCOs suffer. As we remember, the only decisive action was taken by the then Regional

Secretary, WR, ATC Guild in 1995 for construction of quarters leading to serious conflict between Management and A TC Guild. Again, in 2008, ED (P&A), Shri M. Dey was deputed by the then Chairman to explore the feasibility of hiring group accommodation on lease. Many times, instructions have gone from CHQ to locate block lease at suitable locations and for that committees were also constituted locally in which A TC Guild members were associated. However, due to various factors, such exercise could not be accomplished.

� In 2014, the then Chairman had constituted a committee comprising ofShri D.K. Behera, President, A TC Guild, Shri Sanjeev Jindal, GM (Civil) and Shri AK Bhardwaj, President, AAOA to explore the possibility of construction of quarters at Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru. The team along with RED, WR and representatives of A TC Guild and AAOA visited various sites and recommended the on the following to the AAI management :

1. Construction of quarters at the vacant land in Pawan Hans Colony, Juhu. 11. Densification of AAI residential colony. 111. Construction of quarters by MIAL. 1v. Possibility of construction of ANS complex and residential accommodations in

AAI land at Andheri.

The process of soil testing, technical specification and tending was inordinately delayed by the Mumbai office for Juhu proposal. As you all are aware, due to some technical issues in the tendering process, re-tendering has taken place, causing delay. All these works were to be

T-1n. Pocket '8', INA Colony, Aurobindo Marg, New Delhi 110023 • Phone 24654571 • Fax 24619064

www.atcgUIId .com

definitely definitely this delay cannot be attributed to the CEC. Even though the land was available at various locations, this type of proposal was never submitted by the regional council to RED for onward submission to CHQ for construction of quarters in the previous decades.

)' Possession of BSNL quarters on lease : CEC was in constant touch with the Regional Council for taking possession of90 single room quarters from BSNL after several meetings with Member (HR) and Chairman, certain procedural hurdles like deposit of 3 crores towards tax was accomplished by CEC. The next job was to convert these type 1 quarters to 2 BHK quarters, for which BSNL delayed the completion of the work. Again for this, Regional Council was making efforts to meet RED, WR for expediting the process, however for whatsoever reasons, there was delay and CEC is not responsible for this delay.

)' Densification of colony proposal was also submitted by CHQ team to management which

is under active consideration. Since MIAL is also supposed to construct quarters under densification proposal, that is why the densification in our land got slightly delayed.

)' CEC had requested for an appointment with Chairman on May 2 and December 18, 2016 also on 3 points, one of which was prevailing shortage of accommodation.

)' A meeting was also held between Chairman and Associations/union on October 14, 2016, the minutes of the meeting issued by the Chairman officer on November 17, 2016 is attested. It is evident from the minutes that A TC Guild had raised this issue of shortage of accommodation at Mumbai -the new recruitees are facing hardship in performance of duties. Chairman categorically assured in that meeting in response to A TC Guild submission that construction of quarters may take time but other options will be explored to mitigate this problem.

)' We are pleased to inform that on January 2, 2017, the entitlement of company lease for all executives were revised in which the entitltment has been based on 50% of the maximum of pay scale instead of earlier existing 50% of mid of scale. Also it is pertinent to mention that in the same order the entitlement for Mumbai has been made as 60% of maximum of pay scale.

)' It is also mentioned that in view of the Navi Mumbai project, it has been discussed with Chairman for construction of quarters along with the project. Chairman has intimated us that a portion of AAI land at Andheri will be swept with Government of Maharashtra for availability of land at Navi Mumbai for construction of quarters

This for information of all concerned.
