Call for Explanation from ASO

Many times its seen that officers in the upper hierarchy shows dominance over OSS Cadre officers both in work and attitude. Since introduction  of this Cadre, OSS officers are trying to work with dignity and always trying to place them before society as a Cadre of choice. The traditional attitude of Secretariat employees has been changed a lot after joining of new ASOs in 2016. The system of keeping spectacles on table while absent in seat is almost vanished. Processing of files and arriving office in due time are the main aspects of new ASOs. And for this attitude, whole OSS Cadre (including SO, DO, US, DS etc) is now an example for other cadres. If we consider pay structure, this Cadre has been ignored a lot. Still then working atmosphere of Secretariat has been much more improved. 

Almost 99% Under Secretary posts are occupied by OSS Cadre. But from the rank of Deputy Secretary onwards, OAS officers are there in major percentage. 
Some OAS Officers are not ready to accept this OSS Cadre in posts from Under Secretary and above. For this, many times relation between these two Cadres not going well. 
As an example, recently an explanation has been called for from one of the ASO in WR Department. 
Although, any inobidience and misconduct to higher authorities deserves punishment under Govt. Servants conduct rule but both side should understand each others situation. But if it is made intentionally by either of them, then it's not a good sign.
In this moment, OSS Cadre  Association (OSSA) representatives should move to manage the situation.
