Dear Comrades,
With Gram Dak Sevak (GDS) employees striking work
indefinitely, following a call given by the All India Postal Extra
Departmental Employees Union (AIPEDEU) opposing the “anti-labour
policies” of the Union government, postal customer services were
affected in rural parts of the State.
Services
including delivery of mails, payments of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) rural postal insurance, savings bank
deposits have been affected to a greater extent, as over 16,000 Dak
Sevak employees have struck work, according to leaders of AIPEDEU.
Speaking to The Hindu,
S.S. Mahadevaiah, national general secretary, AIPEDEU, said that the
employees were forced to strike work, as talks with the Union government
had failed.
