He was confident that the membership of the Retired Officers’ Association of the units would increase in a faster pace under the Leadership of yesteryear Architects of our Federation. He requested GM (HR) that the officers would be allowed to retire peacefully and should not face the charge sheet in the last moment of their service. He also pointed out the delay in the settlement of terminal benefits, supply of PPO book and Service Certificate to the Retirees.

The entire programme was compeered by Sri Y.S.
