He highlighted, the undergoing changes of India Post in the competitive, market scenario, the work load and culture imposed upon the postal employees, which is onerous, comparing to any other central government department. He urged upon the employees to take it into their strike the changes and make themselves a force to reckon with.

The house heard him with rapt attention of the measures being taken by central union leaders at National level for all the issues concerning the staff--be it 7th CPC, technology, human resources, strike etc.
Com. Krishnan has stated in clear that Karnataka Circle AIPEU P-3 is one among the top 6 Circles of NFPE. The council meeting was a packed gathering of about 150 members on both the days. The venue and the style of the Council meeting was a pleasant experience for the delegates. AIPEU P-3 Karnataka Circle, has brought in corporate style of meetings in the Union field, since its Bi-ennial Conference of 2014.
It is also resolved in the Circle Council that a phased agitational programme is charted out for the early resolution of technology problems like, Finacle, Sify networking, band width, McCamish, & CSI at Mysore.
All the Divisional and Branch Secretaries, from all over Karnataka, participated in the Council meeting and a majority of them were overwhelmingly happy about the deliberations and the chance to interact with the CPMG Karnataka directly which is an life time experience for them. Many of them have appreciated the initiatives taken by the Circle Union leaders to redress the sufferings of the postal working class.
The present team under the Presidentship of Com. N Chandrashekar, has reached many a milestone, but the journey is long and many more things have to be done for the betterment of the postal workers. With, a fervent hope, I look forward that the deliberations of this Circle Council Meeting comprising of the collective intelligence of the enlightened Circle office bearers, Divisional Secretaries and Circle Councilors will take us to new heights, to move forward in the right direction for the welfare of postal fraternity.
