Later also that is second half year 1981 recruitment to 1984 I half year to there are several direct recruitments were took place leaving only few that 6 members of 1981 I st half year recruitment candidates(50 department promoter's also got promoted during that period).
I do not know how the natural justice done on their own accord what is stand of union so far when the issue is under lying for two and half decades, is there any remedial measure. I want justice now ,I don't want ant financial benefit but the entire service render by me form from 15.5.1981 should count for all purposes including pay fixation from 1.1.2006( I have worked as sorting assistant on regular basis from 03.2.1983 to 19.6.1983 and reverted to RTP SA at RMS V division from 20.6.2008 the that service is not taken for pay fixation and increment and TBOP promotion from .
