Our beloved GS Com.Prahlad Rai elaborated the issues pertaining to our Executives and explained how all the proactive measures of AIBSNLEA in settling the cadre issues were thwarted by the so called Majority Association. GS emphasized the betrayal of SNEA to the DRs through their mishandling of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy proposal and it was the timely intervention of AIBSNLEA with due endorsement from CMD & DIR-HR, that ensured strict implementation of Khan Committee recommendations without changes.

In respect of 3RD PRC our GS was firm that only through united effort of all Associations & Unions, the pressure on the DOT can be mounted and the All Union Association-Leaders meeting on 8th January 2018 at New Delhi will chalk out a clear strategy.

The meeting came to a conclusion with vote of thanks by Com.K.Rajnarayanan ACS( Accounts) and singing of National Anthem. The dignitaries and the guests were served with a sumptuous South Indian style dinner.
