Dear Postmasters, we are living in changing scenario of the department. So our collective attitude only will bring good results as we dreamt about the cadre when it was introduced by the department.
 
Therefore be united and make possible representation in the seventh Pay commission when it is constituted or if any injustice noticed and when we are deprived our rights to knock the door justice, our collective effort is urgently needed.
 
The approach of the CHQ is only a starting journey to knock the door of administration. Therefore all are requested to make ready them selves for verification process for which the circulars will be issued very shortly.
Show your unity and give power for representation with administration.
 
With regards,
 
Ganesh Sable,
General Secretary,
