AIPRPA Shows Solidarity to GDS Strike! 

The AIPEU GDS (NFPE) as well as AIGDSU & NUGDS (FNPO) are launching indefinite strike from tomorrow. AIPEU P4 NFPE in support of GDS strike commencing indefinite strike from day after tomorrow. DG Posts held talks with the above four Unions today but except requesting for 'Don't go on strike' nothing concrete could be given out by him. He simply says that within one or two months Kamalesh Chandra committee will be implemented! This shows utter lack of seriousness on the part of Postal Board and Central Government towards burning issue of GDS for months!

The Unions have resolved to go ahead with the indefinite strike as planned. There may be threats! There may be punitive action! But Government and India Post are not ready to become sensitive! AIPRPA CHQ calls upon our rank & file organizations and comrades to extend all possible kinds of solidarity to GDS masses! Organise protests, assemble before HPOs / Divisional Offices etc with AIPRPA banners and demonstrate in support of GDS! As per local conditions, our comrades can take any solidarity action. It is our duty and responsibility to raise in defense of GDS downtrodden masses! Jump in solidarity and report to CHQ! - KR GS AIPRPA

Octogenarian leader AGP passes away!

Legendary leader AGP Red Salutes!

Comrade AGP breathed his last! Red Salutes Red Salutes!!

It is the saddest news to our ears. The veteran octogenarian leader of CG movement and Patron of AIPRPA Tamilnadu State comrade A.G.Pasupathy has passed away yesterday night at 10.00 P.M. He had reportedly experienced some breathing problem and stopped breathing. A great leader with unparalleled qualities of bravery and struggles is no more. Despite his age of 85 and physical illnesses, his indomitable spirit in attending all our meetings and struggles up to our Vijayawada AIC was stupendous! There is no proper words to express our deep sorrow and the loss is quite irreparable to our entire movement. The funeral is at 4.00 P.M today evening from his residence at Guduvancheri. AIPRPA dips its banner and lower its flag to honour the departed leader comrade AGP!
