Mumbai ITEF to observe lunch hour demonstration today (07/04/2014)

ITEF Mumbai circle to hold lunch hour demonstration on 07.04.2014 against CBDT for non honouring the agreement with ITEF before notification of additional posts on account of cadre review.
"We strongly denounce this attitude of the Board in not honouring its own promise of discussing the allocation of posts with the ITEF.  It is indeed shameful that the CBDT has not even informed the ITEF about the criteria adopted for the allocation of posts. In the circumstances, the ITEF, Mumbai circle has taken the decision to hold a massive lunch-hour demonstration on 7.4.2014 in front of Aayakar Bhavan as first step in the direction of a prolonged struggle expected in the ensuing financial year of 2014."
