Stand to Safeguard Rural Postal Services – Join 9th July One Day Strike
The Postal Department is not just another office, it is the backbone of rural India, connecting the last mile where no other government service reaches. This vital establishment is now facing challenges due to certain policies like IDC, unregulated mechanisation, and the merger of BPMs/ABPMs, which are leading to closure of Branch Offices in remote areas.
Key issues concerning service conditions, job security, and the long-term protection of GDS remain unresolved. Our concerns are with the direction of these policies, which, if continued, may weaken one of the most people-oriented arms of the government.
We respectfully demand:
• Inclusion of GDS under the 8th Central Pay Commission
• Grant of Civil Servant status as directed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court
• Resolution of long pending demands -Pension, Gratuity, Medical benefits, and more
• Protection of existing Cadres and rural Branch Offices from disbanding
Every GDS is urged to rise above daily routine and participate in the One Day General Strike on 9th July to defend our service, our future, and the public trust we carry.
