            Insurance, for handing over to the Bajaj and Alliange.  The Company Alliange is American Based Company, whose condition was precarious at the time of depression in the year 2008.  From that day the Company searching wage and means for better survival, but our honourable Communication Minister has declared to give the PLI to Bajaj Alianj in the end of this year which is the policies of the Government.  The Postman Cadre is seriously attacked by the policies of Govt. to engage O.P.A. (Out Sourced Postal Agencies) the function of the Agencies to pick up Mails from market and transmit the collected mails though its own conveyance at the end point that agencies will be delivered the article.  So you, we have to think the situation, if the mails did not come to post office for delivery then how we can save our Cadre.  Not only Postman and MTS but also RMS is under attach by P.N.O.P.(Parcel Networking Optimization Programme) by that, total RMS out of four hundred only one hundred RMS will be justified, definitely the staff will be surplus. Branch Post Offices (Our Grammin Dak Sevakas) are attacked by RICT, DARPAN, and now engaged for electrification.  All those works are not properly functional in absence of net work.  Then in the name of net work public harassment are there.  The Allahabad Ketchery Post Office case is breed of the SAP and net Work failure.

            So totally as a whole the department of Posts are under attack of wrong policies of the Government rapidly implemented by the bureaucrat .So we both postmen and MTS Union (AIPEU and NUPE) sit together and decided to fight against the wrong policies of the Government and department.  Our twenty five charter of demands is enclosed herewith and you should think what is the fate of postmen and MTS cadre.  Through our struggle programme we can stop the undemocratic, unwanted, ante-worker, anti Public policies of the Government. First phase programme to wear black badges from 27^th to 29^th Nov 2018, Second phase programme is one day DHARNA in front of Divisional Offices. On 14^th of December 2018, we should welcome to the New Year 2019 with “BEGUL” of DHARNA on 2^nd Jan 2019 in front of Circle Offices.  All above three programmes should be implemented properly by which our Comrades can come forward for organize way to participate “DAK BHAWAN GHERAO” ON 06^TH Feb 2019.  All the Comrades are requested to come with uniform to participate in the DHARNA at New Delhi.  Ticket should be booked FOR Delhi DHARNA; Minimum two thousand Postman and MTS should attend the DHARNA.  Details of quota of delegates to attend 06^th Feb 2019 Programme for each Circle will be worked out after consultation with the Circle Secretaries.
