During the discussions, the Chairman sought our views on the potential merger of cadres. The CHQ representatives strongly opposed any such merger. Instead, we proposed allowing Rule 38 transfers between SA & PA and Postman & Mail Guard, permitted once during a service period, as a viable alternative.
