KOLLAM, April 6, 2015
Employees
under the banner of the National Federation of Postal Employees and the
Federation of National Postal Organisations have expressed concern over moves
by the Central government to privatise the postal sector.
In
protest against the move, postal employees and their family members are
organising a human chain here on April 7.
District
convener of the programme R.V. Sreekanth said it was a part of a nation-wide
exercise. The human chain, to be held in the evening, will be from the Head
Post Office at Chinnakada to the Taluk Office Junction.
In a statement Mr.
Sreekanth said the Central government had endorsed a report to bifurcate the
postal sector into five corporations. These are Postal Bank of India, India Insurance,
Company for Distribution of Third Party Products, Company for Management of
Government Services, and India Parcels.
