Dear Comrades,

The representatives of other two organisations could not participate and had conveyed their consent for the decisions taken by the meeting.
Com.V A N Namboodiri presided over the meeting. Com.K G Jayaraj Convener welcomed all the participants and congratulated all the leaders for the resounding success of the two agitations held on 6th and 31st July,2023. The call for the three phased agitational program demanding settlement of pension revision, pending for the last 79 months, has enthused the pensioners all over the country and responded massively. Now we have to focus on the 5 days Dharna at Jantar Mantar New Delhi from 21-25, August,2023.
Coms. G L Jogi, D C Sharma, R K Mudgal stated that permision from Delhi Police is not possible for 5 days Dharna and they may grant permission only for one day. Com.H F Chaudhari suggested that a two days Dharna be held. Com. Vijay Singh also wanted two days Dharna.All the leaders participated in the serious discussion and finally it was decided to hold the Dharna for two days on 24th and 25th August,2023.
The inconvenience caused due to the change, certainly beyond our control, is deeply regretted.
So we have to mobilize maximum pensioners on these two days of 24th and 25th August,2023 and make it a historic success.
