Com. G Natarajan (GS) and Com. T S Vittoban (Treasurer) reached Kolkata on 25-9-2017 evening. They attended the Kolkata Civil Wing District Conference on 26-9-2017. Since other branches representatives were not present it was decided to hold the West Bengal Circle conference on a later date ensuring participation by all.
Both GS and Treasurer met the PGM (Finance) and discussed cases of many medical claim bills pending. It is revealed that HR number is not fed in the ERP and hence the delay. PGM (F) assured prompt action to settle some pending cases pointed out.
For the purpose of MRS, the retirees of erstwhile Telegraph Traffic in Kolkata are clubbed with Circle Office. Due to Durga puja holidays, the GM (HR) of Circle Office who was in charge of the medical cases was not available and hence our leaders could not meet her.
