Let us remember Adi!

 Comrade Adi Red Salutes!




Today (17th June)  is the remembrance day of the revolutionary leader of CG and P&T and the ex-Secretary General of NFPE comrade K.Adinarayana. No other CG Union had conducted as many number of indefinite strikes and strikes as like comrade Adi! Nobody had risen from the position of a casual labourer to GDS to regular to become the GS of P4 and SG of NFPE. His simllicity; living in poverty but upholding the dignity of CHQ even while the period of non-recognition; his courageous leadership in 1984 strike when faced with threats of unrecognition; his leadership with clarity while the movement confronted troubled waters; his drawal of respect and admiration from the top bureaucracy; his skill of inspiring oration in many languages; his total control of house by his interventions- were all his unique characters of aplomb!  Let us all remember him on this historic day!

Do Not get confused with DA/DR Media Rumours

 DA/DR Media News!


 


As 1.7.2021 the crucial date is nearing and the meeting of JCM National Council is convened on 26.06.2021, the Media started their usual propaganda. Rumours are plenty in the social media that it will be 28% from 1.7.2021 including the 11% accrued during the intervening period of freezing ordered for 18 months. But, no official OM or acceptance to pay DA/DR as on 1.7.2021 has been announced by the Central Government and no Cabinet approval has come so far to restore the DA/DR leave alone the arrears of DA/DR taken away under orders. 


Please wait till any decision from Government and meanwhile intensify our email campaign to Prime Minister of India and to Cabinet Secretary if your email to Prime Minister is returned undelivered.


Intensify our struggle and let us wait for Central Government's move - KR GS AIPRPA.

English OMs should have English Titles

 CHQ EMAILS TO SECRETARY HEALTH ON LANGUAGE OF OMs



No.AIPRPA/Language/2021                                                                                         Dated 4.6.2021

 

To

The Secretary 

Ministry of Health & Family Welfare

Government of India

New Delhi

 

Sir,

 

Sub: Request for ordering printing of Department name and OM in English at the top of English copy of orders - regarding.

 

This All India Postal & RMS Pensioners Association is surprised to note that of late all the OMs emanating from your Ministry contains the name of the Department and the OM details in Hindi even in the OMs of English copy. We are surprised as to whether this is a novel way of imposing Hindi on non-Hindi speaking people? We have no objection in printing the name etc in HIndi in the OMs issued in Hindi language. But we would like to request you to intervene to ensure that the same is not used in English Copy of the OMs but English version is used as was the practice hitherto. 

 

This Association is confident that necessary orders will be issued to correct the erring official in your Ministry.

 

Thanking You,

Yours faithfully,

K.Ragavendran

General Secretary
