IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION WITH RECORD OFFICES.

COMMUNICATION WITH THE RECORD OFFICES

Following the launch of ECHS and formation of Armed Forces Tribunals (AFTs) throughout the country, the need for an effective and fast means of communication with the respective Record Offices becomes very much essential for the Ex-servicemen and their families.

It is therefore necessary that every Record Office should attend the correspondence from the ex-servicemen with utmost sincerity and speed. At present the mode of communication by the ex-servicemen with their Record Offices is only by Ordinary Post or Registered post with field post office numbers through the Indian Postal Service.

This mode of communication, slowly becoming unpopular, because of abnormal delay and non-reliability. Unfortunately these record offices are not accessible by most modern courier services. Also these record offices are not accessible by Internet email services.

Because of these restrictions, large number of ex-servicemen and their families are finding it very difficult to contact the record offices for some urgent information regarding ECHS membership, Part II order, sanction of family pension in respect of aged widows and grievances through Armed Forces Tribunal etc.,

The position with the CDA(P) Allahabad is alarming. Crores and Crores of rupees being allotted for Defence budget every year, still the great CDA(P) Allahabad officials are writing most important letters by hand in cheapest paper.

There is a great advancement in the information and communication technology in India. Our Record Offices and CDA(P) Allahabad may be provided with modern communication terminals to address the grievances of millions of defence pensioners and family pensioners living all over the country. This is an urgent need. The Government should come forward with new policy to improve communication with the record offices and the CDA(P) Allahabad with speed and courtesy.
