“We reiterate our demand that henceforth promotion exams and verification exercises when the need arise should be done in the States to reduce the dangers associated with long distance travels,” the Labour Leaders emphasized.


The Union commended the Ministry of Defence for swiftly mobilizing its security personnel to move into action to ensure that the Directors are freed.
