Rules, Rights & Rites -6 - Revision of 'Schedule of Engaging Authority, Disciplinary Authority and Appellate Authority' for all categories of Gramin Dak Sevaks
I usually post all
important items related to official rulings, union news, and other general
matters on my YouTube channels: Yourskayveeyes (English) and Anbudan Kayveeyes
(Tamil).
However, due to the
recent spate of orders and the high volume of information being received, I
have not been able to convert every item into a video. Therefore, I am
introducing these new slots to post current matters and updates that have not
yet been published on YouTube. This ensures you stay informed on every detail,
even if a video hasn't been made yet …………….Kayveeyes
