The meeting was attended by Comrade Venkatachalam, Comrade Sarkar, Comrade Harvidarsing, Comrade Murli, Comrade Nair, Comrade Nagarajan & other comrades of other Unions.

Only 4 major Retirees Organisations were called for meeting & they were AIBRF represented By Jain SC, AIBP&RC represented By Mr. Acharya , Federation of SBI Pensioners Association represented by PP Sankaranarayana Murthy & RBONC represented by Mr. Sukumaran.

All these dignitaries made presentation of problems & demands of Retirees but the issue of leftover category, could find place very aggressively in the presentation of Mr. Acharaya K V President of AIBP& RC.

Fortunately, aggressive persuasion with Convener  Mr. Sarkar last week I was allowed to meeting today & make short presentation on the issue of Resignees. The copy of presentaion made in the meeting with UFBU Constituents is enclosed herewith.

All the UFBU constituents were receptive to our issues & Mr. Sarkar assured that Resignees will definitely get justice & UFBU is with them.

This is for your information.
