CHARTER OF
DEMANDS

Mail Network Optimisation Project (MNOP) and reject the Mckinsey Consultancy's

staff side is not yet fully implemented. Change of administrative jurisdiction
of speed post hubs from Postal side to RMS side is also not considered
favourably.

was assured by the Secretary (Posts) in the minutes of the discussion held on
01.07.2011, that there will be no closure/merger of Post offices, except
simultaneous relocation, instructions in this regard are yet to be communicated
to the Circle/Regional heads. Even now some Regional heads are closing Post
offices indiscriminately.
