          2.63 Lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks in the Department of Posts will go on indefinite strike from 10^th March to achieve their demands said S.S. Mahadevaiah, General Secretary, All India Gramin Dak Sevaks union in a press statement. All India Gramin Dak Sevaks union served an indefinite strike notice along with three charters of demands on 6^th February, 2015. There is no positive response from the department of posts on any one of the demands. There is a written agreement dated 21.02.2014 to appoint a judiciary committee in case the Govt. of India denied to include the GDS wage structure and service condition in the purview of 7^th Central Pay Committee. The Govt. denied to include GDS in 7^th CPC in the month of November, 2014. Now the department of posts intentionally violated the agreement and took a decision to appoint an officer committee to examine wage structure and service conditions of Gramin Dak Sevaks. Hence Gramin Dak Sevaks are compelled to go on indefinite strike from 10^th March.

1.       Regularize GDS employees and grant all benefits at par with

          department employees.

2.       Appoint Judiciary committee to examine wage structure and service

          conditions of GDS.

3.       Stop corporatization of postal department based on the report of task force committee.
