A GREAT SACRIFICE

30/12

Our member in STR Branch, Chennai Com Elumalai (Retired Driver) lost his son Rajesh Kumar. He was working as Auto Driver. He is one among the 13 members of the Rescue Team. That Team rescued near about 10 families in Urapakkam. While doing that service, suddenly flash flood came and washed away all the thirteen. Out of 13, five could catch some hold on the building or tree but eight lives including Rajeshkumar were lost. His body was found hanging in a building under construction in Mannivakkam (6 KMs away from Urapakkam) after three days. His father had to spend Rs.15,000/- to take the body for post-mortem and another Rs.15,000/- for taking back. The Cremation ground was also full of water and he had to spend another Rs.15,000/- for cremation. There are many people who were working selflessly with humanity but there are some people who loot, taking advantage of the situation. That is two sides of the society. Rajeshkumar, aged 35 left his wife 24 years old, two children aged 6 years and 3-1/2 years. Tamilnadu Government has paid Rs.4 lakhs for the family.

The sub-committee has decided to deposit Rupees One lakh (Rs.50,000/- each child) in the name of the children from the Relief Fund. The sub-committee decided to identify two/three schools which were affected very badly and which give education to poor and destitute children and extend help to them with the remaining balance. It was also decided to finish the entire process within a week's time. Out of 8 sub-committee members, 7 attended. From CHQ, DG, GN & Vittoban attended.

BONANZA- DEFINED

25/12

MPs GET 100% INCREASE IN TOTAL SALARY

The CPC has suggested an increase of 14.2 % of total salary of central government employees. Media described it as ‘bonanza’.

Now the Government of India proposes to raise the basic pay and all allowances of Indian parliamentarians. They will get 100 % increase of their total salary. It will be Rs. 2.8 lakh per month, if the proposal is accepted by finance ministry.
Is it not a ‘bonanza”?
 NO IT IS NOT. ONLY 14.2% IS BONANZA-
BECAUSE IT IS GIVEN TO WORKING CLASS.
