To

Shri Pradeep Kumar Sinha, Cabinet Secretary,

(Government of India),

Rashtrapati Bhawan,

New Delhi

Dear Sir,

I, on behalf of Staff Side, National Council (JCM), greet you on your joining as Cabinet Secretary, Government of India.

Sir, you are aware that, more than 26 lakh Central Government Employees, working in the Railways, Defence, Postal and other Central Government Organizations, are facing lots of problems, which are unresolved due to non-functioning of the NC/JCM.

More than 05 years have passed, there has not been a single meeting of the National Council (JCM).

Non-resolution of the problems of the Central Government Employees has forced them jointly to resolve for a National Indefinite Strike from 23rd November, 2015.

I hope, you will take keen interest in resolution of the problems, submitted through our agenda as well as Charter of Demands at an earliest to keep industrial peace in the country.

I do not feel good to write all these issues in my first letter, but I am forced by the circumstances to write all this.

With kind regards!

Sincerely yours,

(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
