The Nepal National Civil Service Organization has demanded that the physical attack on the employee by the public representative be taken seriously. Action has been demanded against the people's representative of the local government who assaulted the national service employees working at the workplace.
The team led by Nepal National Civil Service Organization President Ambadatta Bhatt reached the Prime Minister and Cabinet Office on Thursday and submitted a memorandum to the Chief Secretary Ek Narayan Aryal, demanding the safety of employees at the workplace. Action has also been demanded against the accused involved in the incident. The
organization has requested the chief secretary to take seriously the incidents of Bal Bahadur Gurung, president of Bandipur Rural Municipality-6 in Tanahun, beating Naveen Bhusal, the ward secretary working in the same ward, by strangling his neck at the workplace, Karam Hussain Khan, chairman of ward number 2, assaulting Madhu Prasad Ghimire, head of the education branch, in the executive meeting of Rohini rural municipality of Rupandehi. The organization said, "It is a mockery of the rule of law to beat up the public servants of the local government in a way that seriously injures them in the workplace."
In the letter submitted to the Chief Secretary, it is said, 'This kind of inhumane treatment of public service employees who are operating in accordance with the laws and regulations has raised serious questions about the safety of the employees, and this type of incident has also affected the morale of the employees and the service delivery has also been affected.'
It is the opinion of the organization that only by providing a favorable working environment in the office to the employees, they can carry out the assigned responsibilities successfully and provide quality services to the customers. 'Such criminal incidents have raised serious questions about how safe we are working for all employees. We strongly demand from the government to prevent the recurrence of such criminal incidents and to protect the lives and workplaces of national service employees,' the statement said. It is also mentioned that the
organization has been strongly raising issues such as three levels of government service should be included in the definition of civil service, adoption of a tiered system, interprovincial/inter-agency transfers should be cyclical and predictable, integrated trade union rights should be arranged, and the recent incident has proved that in order to identify and solve the problems arising from staff adjustment in the phase of federalism's administrative implementation, the latest incident has proven to be even more imperative.
