Staff side proposed that

b) No disciplinary action and stoppage of future LTC may be taken;

‘Chairman agreed to consider the demand of the staff side’.

Sir, as agreed in the meeting a general instruction as above has not yet been issued by the DOP&T. It is therefore requested that since the employees are subjected to undue hardship, necessary instructions in this regard may please be issued at the earliest.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely,
