PROTEST TO DEMAND PENSION ON 1st APRIL

AIPRPA CALLS UPON TO HOLD PROTEST DEMONSTRATIONS IF PENSION NOT PAID TO PENSIONERS ON 1^st APRIL

The AIPRPA CHQ had on 16^th March sent email to Secretary Posts for intervention to cause to order payment of pension manually to all Pensioners in the background of Finacle in POSB will not work on 1.4.2016. Incidentally last year there was a huge delay as the 1^st April was followed by two more days of holidays. We learnt that NFPE and some Circle Unions of NFPE have taken up the issue of payment to employees and pensioners. In the meanwhile the Circle Administration as like Tamilnadu Circle has issued orders for payment of salary to employees manually on 1.4.2016. On coming to know of this order of the Chief PMG the AIPRPA CHQ emailed to Secretary P for her intervention once again. The Pensioners who are a larger section are also to be paid their pension on 1.4.2016 through manual process that can be later adjusted with the SB Accounts electronically. Taking the situation into consideration, the AIPRPA CHQ calls upon all its States and District / Divisional Organizations to organize a protest demonstration in front of HPOs / Divisional Offices at a time of their convenience on 1.4.2016 to show our discontent towards the attitude of the Postal Administration that is not taking the issue of Pensioners seriously on the matter of payment of pension along with the Postal Employees.

Hold Protest Demonstrations – Take the support from all Service Unions / Associations – Invite the leaders of Service Unions also to the Demonstrations – Show our strong sentiments to the Postal Administration – Inform the CHQ about the demonstrations held and the situation in their respective places – Inform all Pensioners telephonically to assemble on 1.4.2016 for the demonstration as there is no time to issue any Notices!

Let us protest for Justice!
