Meeting of Pensioners of Sibsagar Undivided Division of Assam Held to form AIPRPA

JORHAT DISTRICT FORMS AIPRPA

The meeting for formation of AIPRPA at Jorhat was excellent. The P3 Divisional Secretary Comrade Pranab Kumar Barpatra Gohain took all the initiative to organise the meeting at the NFPE Union Office in consultation with the Jorhat Postal Pensioners Association.  Large number of Postal Pensioners was present. The meeting was organised for the undivided Sibsagar Division comprising of three Districts viz., Jorhat, Sibsagar and Golaghat. In fact there is a Postal Pensioners Association functioning at Jorhat as well as at Sibsagar for some years. In Jorhat it is called ‘Postal Pensioners
Association’ and in Sibsagar it is called the ‘Postal, RMS & MMS Pensioners Association’ and a branch of the Assam Postal, RMS and MMS Association,, which has already merged with AIPRPA at Guwahati meeting on 27th March, 2016. There is good relationship between these Associations and NFPE Unions of Sibsagar Division. Therefore at the request of the Jorhat Postal Pensioners Association appealed to all its members to attend.

The meeting was organised in the first floor conference hall of the own building of NFPE Unions. It is really marvelous to see that the union building is a double storied building with ground floor rented to Post Office and the District Chess Association; First floor a conference hall in which nearly 200 comrades can sit in a meeting; the Third floor is divided into rooms for the functioning of NFPE Postal Unions, RMS Unions and BSNLEU. The meeting was presided over by Comrade Gobinda Hazarika, a senior leader.

KR GS AIPRPA; S.Rahman Vice President NCCPA; and M.K.Purakayastha Treasurer of CCCGPA Guwahati & Ex-CHQ Steering Committee Member addressed the session. There was an interaction session on many issues including on formation of AIPRPA organization and merger of their associations. Finally it was decided that the Jorhat Postal Pensioners Association will relieve their BSNL Pensioners with a request to form AIBDPA Association for them and the Postal Pensioners will form AIPRPA. Accordingly a list of Office Bearers led by Comrades Ajit Barua as President; Muzidur Rahman as the District Secretary; and Pares Sen as Treasurer.

As far as the Sibsagar District is concerned, it has been decided that the Pensioners in Sibsagar will meet in their Association’s General Body and decide to merge with AIPRPA and form an Association of AIPRPA for Sibsagar.


Thus Jorhat has formed its AIPRPA by merging and converting an existing Postal Pensioners Organisation with AIPRPA. The Postal Pensioners were happy to merge with AIPRPA as many of them were active Office bearers of NFPE U nions earlier and they have a nice relationship with NFPE Unions in Jorhat.
