The administration is not ready to settle the genuine demands raised by the unions. It is sorry to mention that no discussion was arranged till date on the Charter of Demands submitted by the RMS JCA. Unilateral Implementation af PNOP without considering the suggestions submitted by the staff side and not providing adequate space and infrastructure in hubs resulted large scale back routing of parcels, accumulation of parcel bags in hubs. Simultaneous implementation of PNOP and CSI caused enormous miseries to working and our business deteriorating.
