Several programmes of action have been successfully observed. The recent dharnas on 23-03-2011 organised at Circle/Regional Head quarters were a grand success all over the Country, we congratulate our members and the leadership at different levels for observing the programmes so successfully.

This is a very vital and important programme where we should invite local public leaders and gentry to attend the convention. We should apprise them of our problems to gather more public support.
