As scheduled, the meeting of our Association was held at Trivandrum on 10.7.10. The meeting was attended by over 30 members who all took active part in the discussions. Circle Secretary Sri. Ajith Kumar and Treasurer Sri. Manoj also attended the meeting. Sri. Venunathan Pillai, our senior member presided over the meeting in the absence of our President, who could not attend the meeting due to some official committments. The new members were introduced to the gathering. All the members expressed unflinched support to the Association and vowed to rally behind the Association. The various cadre issues and the problems faced by the members in the field were elaborately discussed. The Circle secretary assured that all efforts will be made to sort out the problems faced by our members by effective liaison with the Administration. Regarding the proposed strike by the Service Unions, it was unanimously decided that we will discharge our routine official duties only during the period of strike. It was also decided to appeal to the administration to refrain from entrusting additional duties of striking employees to us leaving us in confronting situations with the striking unions. A letter to this effect has also been given to Chief PMG. (A copy of the said letter is being posted in the blog for the information of our members.) The Association would like to thank all our dear members who attended the meeting today. The efforts taken by Sri. Ajith Kurian, Asst. Secretary in organizing the meeting in such a grand manner is also appreciated.
