The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s OM of even number dated 6.2.1992 wherein it has been intimated to place the SIU reports before the respective Departmental Councils. Doubts have been raised in the same quarters as to the modalities for placing the SIU report in the Departmental Council and the further action to be taken thereon. In this connection it is considered appropriate that the SIU report may be placed in the Departmental Council as an official item of the agenda of the Departmental Council. Whereas item is included in the agenda it follows that there will be discussions on this item in the meeting. It may, however, be noted that it has been agreed in the National Council (JCM) that the discussions in the Council will not result in any impediments in the implementation of the recommendations.

2.     Where the SIU report in respect of a Department or an office envisage reduction of Central Secretariat staff and the Departmental Council does not include any representatives of those categories of Central Secretariat Staff, it is requested that the representatives of the concerned CSS Association may be invited to participate in the meeting of the Departmental Council in which the report is placed for discussion.

    Hindi version will follow.
