Com.V.A.N.Namboodiri, Advisor and Com.K.G.Jayaraj, General Secretary have met Ms.Annie Moraes, Member (Finance) on 20th October, 2015. They had a serious and detailed discussion about the undue delay in finalising the cabinet note on 78.2% IDA merger incorporating the clarifications sought by the Department of Expenditure. The Member (Finance) stated that she had furnished all the data required to clarify the points of the Department of Expenditure to the Establishment Section but they have returned the file stating that whatever clarifications are sought by the Department of Expenditure are to be clarified by the internal finance of DOT. The representatives pointed out that for one or other reason the issue is being dragged indefinitely and the affected pensioners have become restive and requested early action. The Member (Finance) agreed to complete the process at the earliest.

Thereafter the representatives met Shri.Prachish Khanna, Director (Estt) also in this regard who also assured early action at his end.
