Subject: Request to withdraw the proposed one-day nationwide strike-reg.

With reference to your notice no. AIGDSU/CHQ/10/2026 dated 13.10.2026 regarding the proposed one-day strike on 21.11.2026 and meeting held on 11.11.2026, it is informed that during the meeting all your demands were discussed in detail sympathetically and the same will be examined and the legitimate demands will be considered, wherever deemed appropriate. Further, it may be appreciated that the Department has always considered legitimate demands and grievances of Gramin Dak Sevaks and has taken appropriate measures from time to time to address their concerns.

The Department is presently undergoing a significant phase of transformation aimed at improving the efficiency and quality of postal services. Gramin Dak Sevaks play a vital role in the functioning of the Department, particularly in ensuring the delivery of essential postal services in rural and remote areas. In such circumstances, any disruption of postal services due to the proposed strike may adversely affect the general public and the ongoing initiatives of the Department. The Department, therefore, looks forward to the Association's continued cooperation and constructive engagement in furthering the interests of GDS as well as the Department.

In view of the above, the Association is requested to reconsider its decision and withdraw the proposed one day strike scheduled for 21.11.2026, in the larger interest of the Department and the general public. The Association is further requested to continue pursuing its demands through constructive dialogue and established channels of communication, assuring that its legitimate concerns will receive due consideration.

Yours faithfully,

(Nahar Singh Meena)
