Boosted IP Line is struggling hard and harder and Drenched Supervisory Line is sleeping enough to loss all their rights!!!

Dear Postmasters,

If not now then never.  Lets organise and discuss this on 03.07.2016 Circle level meet at Cuddalore

All Sr.PM posts upto presidency PMs and 50% PSS Group B posts should be granted to supervisors

    IP/ASP association is conveyed their strong objection against the proposed PSS group B/Sr.PM cadre recruitment rules that they are losing their promotional opportunities in PSS group B/Sr.PM post because of the invasion of Postmaster cadre.

     But the fact is on other way. To create the awareness among general line people, facts are collected and published.

     Friends lets fight together to get the equal opportunities at par with IP line. If both IP line and supervisory line is nourished in equal way then only department will grow better and better.
