Dear Postmasters,
The Postal Directorate letter No 13/2/2014-SR dated 11th November, 2014 duly published in our Blog on 17/11/2014 http://aiapcchq.blogspot.in/ is a giant leap forward towards our goal of being recognised as a new service association (All India Association of Postmaster Cadre).
The letter from Directorate removes all kinds of prejudices and doubts towards the formation of our association but strengthen the prospects of formation of the same. That our line of action is being already on the right track we need to fulfil the omissions as suggested by the Directorate to enable them to consider our proposal.
