Circle Secy., AIPEU GDS(NFPE), Odisha Circle. Taking active participation in
the discussion, many Circle Union Office bearers and Divisional Secretaries registered
their helplessness in strengthening the newly formed AIPEU GDS (NFPE) due to
lack of proper cooperation and active participation of its Circle Secretary and
suggested Com. Singh to issue necessary guide lines to his Divisional
Secretaries to cooperate with their P-III counterparts. Since committed as per
the direction of NFPE, the CWC assured Com. Singh to extend full cooperation
provided he reciprocates accordingly. Com. R N Dhal also appealed all the
Divisional Secretaries to take every possible step in mitigating the gaps and
enrolling more members as soon as possible.
