Postal staff hold relay fast


Demanding the withdrawal of many repressive measures, the Postal Department employees under various unions launched relay fast in front of the PMG office on Monday. They said that many revenue-garnering offices are being closed down.
The post offices are being shut down in the pretext of relocating it. The move could be justified if these post offices were garnering less revenue. But it is not. Besides, many posts are being cut down.
The authority should back out from such restraining measures. The Postal Department has decided to close down the two post offices which have been running successfully for the past several years, they said.  The relay sathyagraha will continue till April 5.
M Krishnan, National Federation of Postal Employees, inaugurated the relay fast.
John Avokkaran, chairman, Joint Council Action presided over the meet.
