COM. MILAN BHATTACHARYA, EX-CIRCLE SECRETARY & ALL INDIA PRESIDENT, P-IV UNION, AND COM. DILIP PRATIHAR, GDSMC IN NORTH HOOGHLY DIVN ATTACKED & INJURED BY POLITICAL MISCREANTS
The anarchist force which is trying to reign with terror and violence in West Bengal promising and demanding to bring about 'change', is continuing their attacks on the soldiers of the left democratic forces. In two more instances, our organisers and leaders have been brutally injured by them. Com. Milan Bhattacharya, former Circle Secretary, West Bengal Circle & All India President of Postmen & MS Employees Union, who went back to his paternal village at Kakdwip in the district of 24 Parganas(South)after retirement, has been attacked, beaten up severely on Thursday, 11.11.2010, by a group of political terrorists advocating for so-called 'change' in West Bengal at the cost of lives and democracy.Com. Bhattacharya, a sustained fighter for the cause of the oppressed who also spent his own life fighting poverty and class deprivation, got himself involved in different activities in the locality for restoration of peace and social justice. The process naturally went against the interest of few people who now-a-days are openly involved in malpractices in the name of paving way for the 'change' in favour of the political opposition in West Bengal.On Thursday, a group of these miscreants attacked Com. Milanda and his compatriots with rods, sticks, bombs and other arms in open daylight in Chandipur. They hit com. Milanda twice purposefully with rods, but other comrades physically covered him somehow. He thus survived the attack, but has to be brought to M.R.Bangur Hospital in Kolkata, where he is now admitted, very seriously injured, bruised and battered all over the body and head. 10 other local people have also been injured, 7 of which are admitted to same hospital, rest 4 in Kakdwip hospital.The people of the locality, supported by the democratic forces, is condemning the attack by these forces of violence and intolerance. Entire Kakdwip Sub-Division observed protest day on Friday, protest meeting will be held in Chandipur on 19th November 2010.In another similar incident, Com. Dilip Pratihar, GDSMC, Hati B.O. in North Hooghly Divn was recently attacked and violently beaten by the counterparts of the same political goons. Com. Pratihar is presently totally bed-ridden.The NFPE Group of Circle Unions call upon all organisers to hold lunch-hour programs condemning these attacks and the effort of these criminals and their political patrons to take over power by means of terror.LET US VOUCH FROM THE PROGRAM THAT WE SHALL HOLD OUR FLAG HIGH IN FAVOUR OF DEMOCRACY AND PEOPLES' RIGHTS TILL WE BREATHE OUR LAST. W We condemn the brutality and wish Com Milanda to recover soon.

IRTSA proposes to demand Seventh Pay Commission for Revision of wage structure wef 1.1.2011
Proposal to Demand Setting up of Seventh Pay Commission IRTSA proposes to demand Seventh Pay Commission - For Revision of wage structure wef 1.1.2011 IRTSA invites comments from its members & other visitors to irtsa.net on the following demand - proposed to be raised soon: Seventh CPC for Revision of wage structure of Central Government employees should be set up forthwith - for a revision of wage structure with effect from 1.1.2011 - on following grounds: i) Implementation of 6th CPC would complete 5 year period on 1-1-2011. Government has conceded to effect wage revision in the case of PSU employees after every five years. The same critiria of 5 years shoud be adoptd for revision of wages of Central Government Employees and Pensioners ii) D.A component in the wages would exceed 50% wef January, 2011. But merger of DA is not proposed to be done at this stage (as in the past) due to retrograde recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission to the contrary. iii) The disparity with PSUs & Corporate Sector have increased further since Sixth CPC - and will now further increase especially due to fast improvement in economy. iv) Anomalies in Sixth CPC Report & its implementation cannot apparently be removed - except by a Pay Commission since the Government is not ready to agree on any of the major issues of concern.
