This report though made known to the service association [ITEF] but they did not make it public and did not place in their website.

This type of tendency of keeping things away from the general members is really surprising. Are they going to deprive the common members again like the 1% incentive scheme, out of which Group C and D employees got nothing and there is no meaningful protest from the Union ?
