Dear comrades,
The people of India are shocked and benumbed by the nature’s fury unleashed on the hapless citizens of Himalayan state of Uttarakhand which have left over a thousand people dead and many more homeless. The infrastructure of a few districts have been completely wiped off severely hampering the rescue operations.. Thousands of pilgrims remain stranded, waiting for aid. The armed forces of the country and civilian administration is bravely battling the continuing bad weather to provide aid to the victims. Overwhelmed by the magnitude of the calamity, the Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh has appealed for generous donations for all those victims who has suffered extreme devastation.
Under the circumstances, as is the case in the past, the National Secretariat of the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers has called upon the entirety of Central Govt. Employees to donate one day’s salary to the Prime Minister Relief Fund and extend our full support to the flood victims to rebuild their lives.
It is needless to say that we have a moral obligation to help our fellow citizens in distress, which we have done in the past whenever natural calamities reared its ugly head and which we will continue doing whenever the need arises.
The ITEF, Kerala Circle has little doubt over the compassionate and humane disposition of its members. Therefore, we exhort all members of ITEF to contribute one day wage to the Prime Ministers National Relief Fund and thereby extend support and solace to the flood victims.
All the Branch Secretaries are requested to give wide publicity to the appeal and make maximum efforts to collect and remit the donations to Prime Minister’s Relief Fund.
